About this study

Official title: Enhanced Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Pro-inflammatory Cytokine Clearances With On-line Hemodiafiltration Versus High-flux Hemodialysis in Sepsis-related Acute Kidney Injury Patients

Following the concept of "peak concentration hypothesis", which suggest the cutting peak of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators would result in restoring a situation of immunohomeostasis. The investigators conducted the prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the clearance efficacy between on-line hemodiafiltration and high-flux hemodialysis in sepsis-related acute kidney injury patients. The lowering cytokines level during sepsis is postulated to improved outcomes in sepsis.

Read the detailed description
  1. Blood samples were taken from patients before and at the end of 4-hour in the first dialysis session. The percentage of reductions were calculated from the before and ending samples. The values of postfilter samples were corrected for changes in plasma volume, based on hemoglobin (Hb) of prefilter.
  2. VEGF and other cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α) were determined in the plasma separated from EDTA blood. After collection, plasma separation was achieved by centrifugation for 10 min at 1,500 g. Immediately after separation, the samples were stored at -70 ºC until further analysis.
  3. All determinations were carried out in duplicate. The panels of cytokines (VEGF, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α) were measured using the Luminex xMap-based multiplex technology. Assays were performed using the MILLIPLEX MAP (multi-analyte panels) 5-plex Cytokine Kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA) on the Luminex® instrument according to the manufacturer's procedure.

On-line hemodiafiltrationExperimentalOn-line hemodiafiltration is a type of renal replacement therapy that was assigned as the intervention to compare with the control arm
Receives: Procedure: On-line hemodiafiltration
High-flux hemodialysis (control)Active comparatorThe standard high-flux hemodialysis is the routine renal replacement therapy in sepsis-related acute kidney injury patients and is assigned as the intervention for the control group.
Receives: Procedure: High-flux Hemodialysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in plasma Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)level

    Measured: At time 0-hour and 4-hour of the study dialysis session

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Intradialytic hypotension

    Measured: During 4 hours of the study dialysis session

  2. Renal recovery (at 30 days)

    Measured: participants will be followed for the renal recovery (dialysis-free) for the 30 days from the first initiation of dialysis

  3. Hospital patient mortality

    mortality during hospital admission

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay (an expected average of 5 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing On-line hemodiafiltration and High-flux Hemodialysis in people with Sepsis and Acute Kidney Injury, run by Chulalongkorn University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 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 15 Feb 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 Thailand. 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?

Reduction in plasma Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)level (time frame: At time 0-hour and 4-hour of the study dialysis session). 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 15 Feb 2013.
