Study design: Prospective open design in study centre at two locations

Applied medical device: Body Composition Monitor (BCM) for determination of fluid overload and dry weight

Aim of the study: To improve the fluid status in chronic HD patients (measured as OH (overhydration) or TAFO (time averaged fluid overload)) based on BCM measurements. Up to now, the BCM was occasionally applied in both locations of the study centre.

Study hypothesis: Regular measurement of fluid status (assessed by BCM) and display of dry weight (post-weight plan)will have significant consequences, namely a decrease of the:

  • time averaged fluid overload (TAFO),
  • proportion of patients with severe overhydration OH > 2.5 L,or OH/ECW > 15 %)
  • proportion of dehydrated patients (OH < -1.0 L, or OH < -7 %),
  • mean overhydration,
  • variance of overhydration,
  • time outside the reference range (-1.0L < OH < 2.5L).

Devices used in this study: Dialysis machine 5008 equipped with Blood Pressure Monitor BPM, Blood Volume Monitor BVM, Blood Temperature Monitor BTM, and Online Clearance Monitor OCM ; Body Composition Monitor BCM ; Data management software / database system NephroLink Disposables used in this study: BVM blood lines and BCM electrodes

Patients: 60 patients

What participants receive

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

  • Prescription of post-dialytic weight based on BCM deviceOther

    Also called BCM or Body Composition Monitor Fresenius Medical Care

    Prescription of post-dialytic weight target: On a weekly base, the patients are pre-dialytically measured by BCM (body composition monitor).

    The time average fluid overload (TAFO) determines the target range. TAFO is defined as the mean value of pre- and post-dialytic overhydration (TAFO = (OHpre+OHpost)/2). The target range is set asymmetrically around a TAFO of 0.8, from -1.0 L to +0.5, i.e. the TAFO target range will be from -0.2 L to 1.3 L.

    Prescription steps will be calculated weekly for all study patients. TAFO < -0.2 L: Increase post-dialytic weight by Cw x 0.5 kg/week, TAFO between -0.2 to 1.3 L: No action, TAFO between 1.3 to 2.8 L Decrease post-dialytic weight by Cw x 0.5 kg/week, TAFO > 2.8 L: Decrease post-dialytic weight by Cw x 1.0 kg/week.

What is being measured

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

  1. intra-individual difference in TAFO between study start and study end

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Comparison between start and end of treatment will be performed for Pre-dialytic overhydration (OH)

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Comparison between start and end of treatment will be performed for number of patients in target range (TAFO from -0.2 L to 1.3 L)

    Measured: 3 months

  3. SF 36 total score and sub-scores as calculated according to official guidelines,

    Measured: 3 months

  4. BNP

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Blood pressure

    Measured: 3 months

  6. laboratory parameters (sodium, calcium, potassium, chloride, haematocrit, haemoglobin, albumin, total protein, urea, creatinine, mean corpuscular volume, C-reactive protein, transferrin saturation, ferritin).

    Measured: 3 months

  7. Change from Baseline in Medication at 12 weeks (erythropoetin, iron, blood pressure medication)

    Measured: 3 months

  8. Change from baseline in intra-dialytic events (hypotension, cramps)

    Measured: 3 months

  9. Change from baseline in Residual Renal Function

    Baseline Residual renal function, measured as Kt/V residual, wil be compared with the Residual renal function at the end of 12 weeks.

    Measured: 3 months

  10. Hospitalisation

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Prescription of post-dialytic weight based on BCM device in people with Hypotension During Dialysis, run by Francisco Maduell at 1 site in Spain.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 28 Feb 2014. 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 Spain. 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?

intra-individual difference in TAFO between study start and study end (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT01492634, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Feb 2014.
