What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • xevontaDevice

    Patients will be treated with 3 different sizes of xevonta (2 weeks each size) for determination of in vivo KUF following "FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Conventional and High Permeability Hemodialyzers". In addition blood samples will be collected for determination of removal rates of different small molecules and protein.

What is being measured

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

  1. in vivo KUF

    The objective of this study is to to determine in vivo KUF for three different sizes (1.2; 1.8 and 2.3 m^2) of xevonta High-Flux to compare obtained data with respective in vitro KUF data.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determination of removal rates

    Removal rates for urea, phosphate, creatinine, albumin, leptin and Beta2-microglobulin will be determined.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing xevonta in people with Kidney Disease, run by B.Braun Avitum AG at 1 site in Germany.

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 13 inclusion and 6 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 14 Mar 2012. 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 Germany. 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.

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?

in vivo KUF (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Mar 2012.
