Trial summary

Online hemodiafiltration (HDF) may improve clinical outcome in end-stage renal disease. The supported mechanism is the improved clearance of uremic toxins by convective transporter. However, It has not been elucidated which convection volume is optimal, especially in Asia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of High-volume Online Hemodiafiltration Compared to Standard Volume Online Hemodiafiltration. A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-labelled Interventional Study.

Online hemodiafiltration (HDF) may improve clinical outcome in end-stage renal disease. The supported mechanism is the improved clearance of uremic toxins by convective transporter. However, It has not been elucidated which convection volume is optimal, especially in Asia. A total of 60 participants receiving conventional hemodialysis will be randomly assigned to receive either high dose convective volume (33-43 L/treatment) post-dilution online HDF or standard dose (16.8-21.5 L/treatment) for 24 weeks. The primary outcome is the change of serum β2 microglobulin levels between baseline and after 24 weeks. The secondary outcomes will include changes in the nutritional markers, inflammatory markers, and blood pressure from baseline to after treatment.

This would be the first multicenter prospective, randomized controlled trial to determine whether large convective volume improves the treatment efficacy in Korean patients undergoing post-dilution online HDF.

What is being measured

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

  1. changes in the serum concentration of β2 microglobulin

    Measured: between baseline and 24 weeks after treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)

    Kt/V by the single pool variable volume formula.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Inflammatory markers

    C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Nutritional status

    normalized protein nitrogen appearance rate, serum albumin, serum protein, subjective global assessment (SGA)

    Measured: 24 weeks

  4. Intradialytic hypotension

    Number of episode of symptomatic hypotension

    Measured: 24 weeks

  5. Quality of Life

    SF-36-K (Korean version)

    Measured: baseline and 24 weeks after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Dose Online HDF and Standard Dose Online HDF in people with End-stage Renal Disease, run by Korean Hemodialysis Study Group at 6 sites in South Korea.

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 20 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Sung Gyun Kim, MD (+82-10-3586-8561, imnksk@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

changes in the serum concentration of β2 microglobulin (time frame: between baseline and 24 weeks after treatment). 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 20 Mar 2014.
