About this study

Official title: HD Performance Comparison of Revaclear 200 and Revaclear 400 With Larger-surface Competitor Dialyzers

The purpose of the study is to show equivalent performance of the Revaclear dialyzer when compared to a dialyzer with larger membrane surface area.

Study design: open, randomized, cross-over, multicentric, controlled prospective

Medical devices: Revaclear 200 versus FX 60 or Revaclear 400 versus FX 100, depending on patient needs

Patients/sample size: 30 adult chronic hemodialysis patients

Treatment: Each patient will be treated by hemodialysis for one week (3 dialysis sessions) with Revaclear dialyzers and one week (3 dialysis sessions) with FX dialyzers.

Objectives: intraindividual comparison of dialysis dose; reduction rates and total removal of urea, phosphate, creatinine and ß2-microglobulin; albumin loss

Primary variable: dialysis dose Kt/V urea

Secondary variable: reduction rates and total removal of urea, phosphate, creatinine and ß2-microglobulin

Safety variable: albumin loss, blood count

Dialyzer comparison

What participants receive

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

  • Dialyzer comparisonOther

    Each patient is treated by hemodialysis for one week (3 sessions) with each dialyzer type (Revaclear or FX).

    The order of dialyzers used will be randomly assigned to the patient at randomization.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dialysis dose Kt/V urea

    Calculation from pre and post plasma urea concentration or urea nitrogen, session length, ultrafiltration volume and post dialysis weight. Dialysis dose does not have a unit of measure.

    Measured: 2 weeks (6 consecutive dialysis sessions)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Reduction rate of urea, creatinine, phosphate and ß2-microglobulin

    Calculation from pre and post dialysis plasma concentrations. Unit of measure is percentage (%).

    Measured: 2 weeks (6 consecutive dialysis sessions)

  2. Total removal of creatinine, phosphate and ß2-microglobulin

    Calculation from measured concentration in integrated dialysate sample over entire treatment, dialysate flow rate, treatment duration and ultrafiltration volume. Unit of measure is g or mg per treatment.

    Measured: 2 weeks (6 consecutive dialysis sessions)

  3. Albumin loss

    Calculation from measured concentration in integrated dialysate sample over entire treatment, dialysate flow rate, treatment duration and ultrafiltration volume. Unit of measure is g or mg per treatment.

    Measured: 2 weeks (6 consecutive dialysis sessions)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dialyzer comparison in people with Renal Failure Chronic Requiring Hemodialysis, run by Vantive Health LLC at 2 sites in Austria.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 13 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Austria. 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?

Dialysis dose Kt/V urea (time frame: 2 weeks (6 consecutive dialysis sessions)). 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 13 Mar 2025.
