About this study

Official title: Single Ascending Dose Study of Intraperitoneal Triferic (Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate) in Patients on Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis

The main purpose is to determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, maximum concentration (Cmax) and Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC0-t) of Triferic iron administered intraperitoneally in patients with chronic kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis (CKD-5 PD). It is an open label, dose escalation study.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 1, open-label, dose escalation study assessing the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, maximum concentration (Cmax) and Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC0-t) of Triferic iron administered intraperitoneally in chronic kidney disease patients on peritoneal dialysis (Continuous Cycling Peritoneal Dialysis (CCPD) or Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)).

Screening can be up to 4 weeks, and the enrollment period is approximately one week. There are two treatment (dosing) visits and one follow-up visit during the enrollment period.

At each treatment visit, the patients will be randomly assigned to receive either a single ascending dose of Triferic administered intraperitoneal (IP) during a long (12 hour) peritoneal dialysis dwell or a single 6.6 mg dose of Triferic administered IV over 4 hours. Blood samples will be obtained at defined times over 12 hours to establish the total serum iron PK of IP Triferic as well as the clinical serum iron profile.

The IP dose of the first Cohort will be 5 mg Triferic iron/liter IP. Subsequent Cohort IP doses will be 12.5 mg Triferic iron/liter, and 20 mg Triferic iron/liter, with the final Cohort dose to be determined (TBD). The IV dose will be 6.6. mg for all Cohorts. Six patients will be enrolled in each Cohort, with enrollment in the subsequent (higher dose) Cohort not being initiated until the completion and evaluation of the previous (lower dose) Cohort.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TrifericDrug

    Also called ferric pyrophosphate citrate, FPC

    Triferic is an iron salt that is approved by the FDA for the maintenance of hemoglobin in patients with end stage kidney disease on hemodialysis. It is experimental in this study because it has not yet been approved for patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
single dose of Triferic in the peritoneal dialysis solutionExperimentalThe patient will receive a single dose of Triferic in the peritoneal dialysis solution (IP) during a long (12 hour) peritoneal dialysis dwell. Each Cohort will receive a different ascending IP dose ( 5 mg/L, 12.5 mg/L, 20 mg/L). Blood samples will be drawn periodically over a 12 hour period for analysis.

single IV dose of Triferic 6.6 mg over a 4 hour periodExperimentalThe patient will receive a single 6.6 mg intravenous (IV) dose of Triferic in the over a 4 hour period. All Cohorts will receive the same IV dose. Blood samples will be drawn periodically over a 12 hour period for analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Triferic in people with Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) and Anemia, run by Rockwell Medical Technologies, Inc..

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 9 inclusion and 17 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 8 Aug 2019. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Aug 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?

Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Triferic Iron Administered in Patients on Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis: Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Serum Total Iron After Intraperitoneal Administration of Triferic (time frame: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours). The study lists 6 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 8 Aug 2019.
