About this study

Official title: Platelet Function, Whole Blood Coagulation and Fibrinolysis During Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy - a Comparison of Citrate and Heparin Anticoagulation

Actual clinical practice predominantly makes use of heparin (systemically) or citrate regionally as anticoagulation in the extracorporeal circulation for renal replacement therapy. We aim to find out if different anticoagulation strategies may lead to different levels of platelet activation and whole blood coagulation. Regarding coagulation activation, it remains uncertain if there is an advantage for one of these methods. However, it is of major interest to minimize the risk of any additional clotting activation via extracorporeal circulation in these usually critically ill patients.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01276392
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Heparin10 Patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy using heparin for providing anticoagulation. Blood samples taken at 8 predefined timepoints.
CiCa10 Patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy using citrate for providing anticoagulation. Blood samples taken at 8 predefined timepoints.

What is being measured

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

  1. Filter life time of continuous renal replacement therapy

    Filter life time measured in hours of duration of continuos renal replacement therapy, filter life time end, when system clotts.

    Measured: Individual time point, standardized

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Activation of coagulation

    blood samples for multiplate, rotem and systemic coagulation paramters

    Measured: beginning of hemodialysis, 1,2,4,12,24,28,72 hours after start of hemodialysis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Replacement Disorder, run by Klinik für Anästhesiologie 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 1 inclusion and 1 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2015. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Filter life time of continuous renal replacement therapy (time frame: Individual time point, standardized). 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 NCT01276392, which also lists 6 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 20 Aug 2015.
