About this study

Official title: Post Marketing Surveillance Investigating Blood Compatibility Characteristics of Baxter Xenium+, Fresenius FX and Gambro Polyflux Dialyzers

The aim of the dialyzer evaluation is to compare performance characteristics and haemocompatibility of the Baxter Xenium+ (Polynephron), Fresenius FX and Gambro Polyflux dialyzers

Read the detailed description

The Xenium+ is a new high flux dialyzer made from Polynephron membrane designed and manufactured by the Nipro Company in Japan. This dialyzer has been subjected to in-vitro testing, and all legally required biological safety tests have been conducted and CE-mark was granted in June 2010. Xenium+ has the same Polynephron membrane as the Xenium family of dialyzers which has been available commercially globally for approximately three years. Clinical evaluations have been completed with the Polynephron membrane within the last three years. The improvement in the Xenium+ line is that the casing is now made from polypropylene.

The aim of the dialyzer evaluation is to compare performance characteristics and hemocompatibility of the Xenium+ (Polynephron), Fresenius FX and Gambro Polyflux dialyzers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of End Stage Renal Failure on Dialysis, run by Praxisverbund Dialyse und Apherese.

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 9 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 2 Feb 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Clearance for urea, phosphate, beta-2-microglobulin blood cell drop, complement factor C5a, TAT (time frame: January 2011). 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 2 Feb 2011.
