About this study

Assesment of a predictive model of anemia management: Dosage of erythropoietin (EPO) and Iron adminsitration in hemodialysis patients.

Read the detailed description

Anemia in patients on hemodialysis (HD ) is common and although usually responds well to treatment with Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents (ESAs ) , this dosage , based on different clinical protocols , often ignores the high variability inter- and intra -individual in patient response . The result leads to swings in the objective by different dosage range that is associated with multiple risks and side effects. There are artificial intelligence-based optimization methods that predict treatment with ESAs in maintaining patient hemoglobin target range . So far the model has been validated for the long half-life of EPO ( darbepoetin ) with promising results.

HYPOTHESIS: Maintaining patients in Hb levels ESAs range using short half-life , avoid the one hand , the need for transfusions and, secondly , the levels exceeding the upper range ( overshooting ), preventing the onset of a increased cardiovascular risk events.

RELEVANCE:The results allow us to validate the model with short half-life ESAs optimizing the management of anemia and improving comorbidity associated with overdosage.

SUMMARY:

Prospective observational study of paired data. Data obtained from the data base Euclid . Data will be collected by clinical teams according to standard clinical practice. Informed at the time of admission to the clinic consent will be obtained . All patient data including to november 15th 2014 and who have completed the study period to 30 april 2015. The results will be compared with those prior to the patient's inclusion in the study were processed.

To detect a difference of 10% in the percentage of patients in the hemoglobin target range after intervention (from 70% to 80%) we will need a minimum sample size of 268 patients assuming an alpha error of 0.05, a beta error of 0.2 and a correlation between both observations of 0.1.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia, run by NephroCare Spain 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 13 Jan 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Rosa Ramos, MD, Ph D (+34 630909907, rosa.ramos@fmc-ag.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Erythropoietin stimulating agents dosage (time frame: at six months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Jan 2015.
