About this study

Official title: Removal of Uremic Toxins and Improvement of Chronic Inflammation With HFR in Comparison With "On-Line" Hemodiafiltration and High Flux Hemodialysis.

The aim of this study is to compare purification efficiency of HFR in terms of clearance of protein-bound toxins and the effects on markers of inflammation and endothelial damage, in comparison to HF-HD and OL-HDF.

Read the detailed description

Protein-bound uremic toxins are poorly removed by current dialysis techniques because of their size, which is larger than the pore size of dialysis membranes available in the market. These protein-bound uremic toxins have emerged as important risk factors for progression of CKD, as well as for cardiovascular disease. Several studies have demonstrated that protein-bound uremic toxins induce vascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and vascular calcification.

In dialysis patients, serum concentrations of p-cresyl sulphate and indoxyl sulphate are approximately 17 and 54 times higher, respectively, than in healthy subjects. Because these toxins are bound to proteins, only a 30% or less is removed efficiently by hemodialysis. Traditional renal replacement therapies depend upon diffusion and convection for solute clearances and the use of an adsorbent in combination with dialysis membranes may be a new therapeutic option to increase removal rate of these uremic protein-bound toxins.

HFR technique uses a dual dialyzer with a resin between chambers. The first chamber is a high-flux membrane where convective process takes place. The ultrafiltrate obtained from this first chamber passes through the cartridge and is reinfused before the second chamber, a low-flux membrane, where diffusive process is performed.

In HFR, adsorption and haemodiafiltration are attached, using ultrafiltrate as a replacement fluid and being capable of theoretically removing most medium and high molecular weight uremic toxins. A potential benefit has been regarded for toxicity, biocompatibility, tolerance, and preservation of essential elements such as albumin, vitamins, amino acids or growth factors. An improvement on oxidative stress has also been described in HFR.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammation, run by Hospital Universitario Reina Sofia de Cordoba at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 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 30 Mar 2015. 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 Spain. 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?

Inflammatory status: (CD14+ CD16+, CD14++ CD16+, cytokines levels) (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 30 Mar 2015.
