Trial summary

This is a prospective study consisting in testing whether systematic use of aspirin is beneficial for primary prevention of vascular access for hemodialysis attested by doppler ultrasound exam.

About this study

Official title: a Comparative Study of Aspirin Either at Fixed Dose or at a Dose Titrated by Platlet Function Analyzer(PFA-100) vs Placebo in Primary Prevention of Vascular Access for Hemodialysis

This is a prospective study consisting in testing whether systematic use of aspirin is beneficial for primary prevention of vascular access for hemodialysis attested by doppler ultrasound exam. The investigators will study aspirin resistance in the population of patients undergoing hemodialysis. The investigators will test sensibility of resistant patients to aspirin dose escalation. PFA-100 is the biologic test used in this study to define aspirin resistance.

Read the detailed description

Three groups of dialysed patients will be included in this study. The first is the placebo group, the second is the aspirin group fixed dose and the last group includes patients receiving a dose of aspirin titrated by the result of PFA-100.

At the end of this study the investigators will be able to identify whether systematic antiaggregation is suitable for a vascular access for hemodialysis. The investigators will also conclude which is better for patients fixed dose or aspirin dose escalation determined by the result of PFA-100. The study will analyse the prevalence of aspirin resistant patients in this particular population of dialysed patients.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02055131
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
aspirn fixed dosePlacebo comparatorpatients of this arm will receive 100 mg of aspirin daily.over the period of follow up we will detect all thromboembolic events.
Receives: Drug: aspirin
aspirin dose titrated with PFA-100Placebo comparatorpatients of this arm will receive 100 mg of aspirin daily.this dose will be multiplied whenever the PFA-100 is not suitable.once the time of occlusion is correct ,we will keep the same dose of aspirin and continue monitoring the PFA-100 durin the follow up period.
Receives: Drug: aspirin
placebo armNo interventionin this group of patients we will just supervise thromboembolic events of the vascular access.

What is being measured

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

  1. number of fistula thrombosis in patients receiving a dose of aspirin titrated by the result of PFA-100 compared to placebo and fixed dose aspirin

    patients undergoing hemodialysis via native fistula will receive either placebo or aspirin titrated dose by the PFA-100 or aspirin fixed dose to prevent thrombosis of the access .the follow up period will be fixed at 1 year and all thromboembolic complications of the access will be noted

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. number of aspirin resistant patients even to aspirin escalation dose titrated by PFA-100 in the population of dialysed patients.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing aspirin in people with Thrombosis, run by Tunis University at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 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 Tunisia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

number of fistula thrombosis in patients receiving a dose of aspirin titrated by the result of PFA-100 compared to placebo and fixed dose aspirin (time frame: 1 year). 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 4 Feb 2014.
