About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether recycled dialysis fluid can supply enough clearance for hemodiaysis patients.

Read the detailed description

Conventional hemodialysis uses large amounts of water, which hinders travel possibilies for home hemodialysis (HD) patients. We have developed a recycling system using 25-30 l dialysate per dialysis. In vitro investigations show that this results in adequate dialysis.

12 HD patients will be studied during two dialysis sessions. The first HD will be a conventional 4 hour dialysis, using single pass dialysate. The second will be an 8-hour HD using multipass (recycled) dialysate 25-30 l. Clearance of urea, creatinine, phosphate and cobalamin will be measured both in the patient and the dialysate. Patient symptoms will be recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Multipass hemodialysis in people with Uremia, run by Herlev Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 9 Jul 2013. 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 Denmark. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Urea Kt/V (time frame: 9 hours). 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 NCT01267760, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 9 Jul 2013.
