Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the hemodialysis procedure on cerebral blood flow (CBF) in elderly maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients. The investigators hypothesize that HD induced blood pressure changes are associated with a fall in global and/or regional CBF during HD. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A [15O]H2O PET-CT Pilot Study Comparing Cerebral Blood Flow Before, During and After Hemodialysis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the hemodialysis procedure on cerebral blood flow (CBF) in elderly maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients. The investigators hypothesize that HD induced blood pressure changes are associated with a fall in global and/or regional CBF during HD. Second, the investigators hypothesize that near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) will correlate with CBF measured by[15O]H2O PET.

Read the detailed description

The investigators aim to include 14 participants. Each participant will undergo a single HD study session in the PET center of the UMCG. During this study session, each participant will undergo three gated [15O]H2O PET-CT scans before, during (after 20 minutes) and at the end of the HD session. NIRS will be used to measure cerebral tissue regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) during the HD study session. INVOS (In Vivo Optical Spectroscopy), a monitoring device, will be used to measure rSO2, with sensors placed bilaterally on the patient forehead. Participants will further undergo a MRI scan of the brain, bilateral carotid artery duplex echosonography, cognitive testing, blood pressure and heart rate measurements during the HD study session, and laboratory measurements during the HD study session.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in CBF From Baseline (Before Start of the Hemodialysis Study Session), at 20 Minutes, and at the End of the Hemodialysis Study Session, Measured by [15O]H2OPET-CT

    Measured: at t= -5 minutes, t= 20 minutes, and at t=220 minutes.The change from baseline (-5min) to the end of hemodialysis (220min) is reported.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in rSO2 From Baseline (Before Start of the Hemodialysis Study Session), at 20 Minutes, and at the End of the Hemodialysis Study Session, Measured by NIRS

    Change in rSO2, between baseline (-5 minutes) and the end of the hemodialysis (t=220 minutes) study session.

    Measured: at t= -5 minutes, t= 20 minutes, and at t=220 minutes.The start of dialysis was considered as t=0. Therefore, baseline is t=-5minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing [15O]H2O PET-CT scan and NIRS (Invos) in people with Haemodialysis-induced Symptom, run by University Medical Center Groningen at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 7 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 7 Apr 2020. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jan 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in CBF From Baseline (Before Start of the Hemodialysis Study Session), at 20 Minutes, and at the End of the Hemodialysis Study Session, Measured by [15O]H2OPET-CT (time frame: at t= -5 minutes, t= 20 minutes, and at t=220 minutes.The change from baseline (-5min) to the end of hemodialysis (220min) is reported.). 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 7 Apr 2020.
