About this study

Official title: Effect of Icodextrin on the Treatment Outcome of Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

The objective of the present study is to evaluate the a prior hypothesis that treatment with icodextrin during acute peritonitis would improve the treatment outcomes of peritonitis complicating peritoneal dialysis. The safety and effectiveness of icodextrin for decreasing glucose exposure, extent and severity of peritonitis will be evaluated in the setting of acute peritonitis complicating peritoneal dialysis among patients who are not receiving icodextrin.

Conditions
Peritonitis
Being tested
Icodextrin, glucose-based peritoneal dialysate
Keywords

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. peritoneal dialysate total white cell count on day 3 of acute peritonitis

    Measured: day 3

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. need of additional hypertonic exchanges, ultrafiltration volumes according to patient diary, fluid control as denoted by changes in body weight, and the timing of peritonitis resolution

    Measured: within the period of peritonitis treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Icodextrin and glucose-based peritoneal dialysate in people with Peritonitis, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Hong Kong. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

peritoneal dialysate total white cell count on day 3 of acute peritonitis (time frame: day 3). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01044446, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Aug 2016.
