About this study

Official title: Improving Outcomes in Peritoneal Dialysis: Identification and Characterization of Optimal Clinical Practice to Enhance Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Functionality, Minimize Access-related Complications and Promote Peritoneal Dialysis as an Initiating Therapeutic Modality for Chronic Kidney Disease.

The objective is to understand the best way to place Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) catheters, and the best way to collect data regarding their function in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Phase 1: We will carry out a detailed examination of existing returned pilot data with emphasis on data fields with poor data completeness and perform root cause analysis, and assess deficiencies in data field definition to identify improvements to be implemented. We will construct and disseminate electronic survey material to all study centres with targeted visits by the Principle Investigator undertaken. These visits will facilitate insight into local organization of data collection including interaction with designated individuals responsible for data returns. PD training days will be organized with emphasis on clinical practice feedback utilizing data acquired in the initial phases. Hospital Episode Statistics will be linked to existing acquired PD patient information to ensure the accuracy of collected data. An online data acquisition system will be developed to allow direct data entry from centres.

Phase 2: On-going and sustained data acquisition performed on a prospective basis.

Phase 3: Primary data analysis including clinical practice variation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to identify site specific PD catheter functionality variation. Additionally, patient and site specific characteristics that predict clinical outcomes in PD will be identified and characterised.

Phase 4: Clinical guidelines will be developed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peritoneal dialysis catheter "survival" (sustained function) at 365 days post-insertion (insertion date)

    1. Functional (mechanical) catheter failure
    2. Complication induced catheter failure - Infection, Hemorrhage, Dialysate Leakage \& Bowel Perforation

    Measured: 1 Year

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Time to catheter failure

    • Catheter failure time (days elapsed from insertion to failure <365 days)
    • Catheter failure time (days elapsed from insertion to failure >365 days)

    Measured: Within 1 Year

  2. Missing Data

    Missing mandatory data fields

    Measured: Baseline & 1 Year

  3. Mortality (all cause)

    Measured: Within 1 Year

  4. Co-morbid Hospitalization Events

    Non-fatal medical events requiring hospitalization, excluding PD related hospitalization

    Measured: Within 1 Year

  5. Infection events not resulting in catheter failure

    • Exit site / tunnel infection (early): suspected or definite infection around catheter exit site requiring intervention up to 2 weeks following catheter insertion
    • Exit site / tunnel infection (late): suspected or definite infection around catheter exit site requiring intervention after 2 weeks following catheter insertion
    • Peritonitis (early): peritonitis within 2 weeks of catheter insertion
    • Peritonitis (late): peritonitis after 2 weeks following catheter insertion

    Measured: Within 1 Year

  6. Leak events not resulting in catheter failure

    • Catheter leak events (early): suspected or definite catheter site leak requiring intervention up to 2 weeks following catheter insertion
    • Catheter leak events (late): suspected or definite catheter site leak requiring intervention after 2 weeks following catheter insertion

    Measured: Within 1 Year

  7. Modality change

    Change of modality from PD to any other form of renal replacement therapy

    Measured: Within 1 Year

  8. Catheter non-usage

    Catheters inserted but not used for reasons other than failed initial therapy (e.g. Moncrieff)

    Measured: Within 1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Kidney Disease and Peritoneal Dialysis Access, run by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Peritoneal dialysis catheter "survival" (sustained function) at 365 days post-insertion (insertion date) (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 14 Apr 2016.
