Trial summary

Rationale: End-stage congestive heart failure is a serious invalidating condition with a poor prognosis and increasing incidence. Non-randomized observations showed peritoneal dialysis (PD) in these patients to improve clinically from NYHA stadium III-IV to as low as NYHA stadium I-II. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Symptomatic Improvement by Peritoneal Dialysis in Patients With End Stage Congestive Heart Failure

Rationale: End-stage congestive heart failure is a serious invalidating condition with a poor prognosis and increasing incidence. Non-randomized observations showed peritoneal dialysis (PD) in these patients to improve clinically from NYHA stadium III-IV to as low as NYHA stadium I-II. A randomized trial is needed to test whether PD improves symptoms in this condition and to find an optimal scheme.

Objective: To improve symptomatology in severe chronic failure patients. Study design: Open, parallel intervention trial comparing 2 schemes of peritoneal dialysis with icodextrin (Extraneal®) with standard medical therapy..

Study population: Patients with chronic refractory left ventricular congestive heart failure (LVEF < 30%, older than 18 years).

Intervention: Peritoneal dialysis with one (night) or two (night and day) dwells with icodextrin (Extraneal®).

Main study parameters/endpoints: Reduction in NYHA classification of symptomatic Congestive Heart Failure at 8 months after start of PD therapy. Burden of congestive heart failure: measured by reduction in unfavorable days (noted by patients in diaries and including days of hospitalization for CHF-deterioration and death).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients in NYHA class I, II, III, or IV as measure of quality of life

    Measured: 8 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality of life measures

    Reduction in unfavorable days. Short-Form 36. Minnesota Living with Heart failure Questionnaire. 6 minute walk test. (re)hospitalization. Survival. Medication optimalisation. Cardial: LVH. Renal: GFR/ERPF/FF; KIM-1, NGAL, NAG. Volume status: ECV (radioactive and bio-impedance). Neurohumoral and inflammatory parameters.

    Measured: 8 months

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted17 May 2010 (estimated)
  2. Study startApr 2010
  3. Primary completionSep 2016

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing icodextrin in people with Congestive Heart Failure, run by Martini Hospital Groningen at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Aug 2019. 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 Netherlands. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Due to very specific inclusion criteria the anticipated number of patients was not reached. Inclusion stopped at N=26, allowing for analyzing primary outcomes.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Number of patients in NYHA class I, II, III, or IV as measure of quality of life (time frame: 8 months). 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 16 Aug 2019.
