About this study

Official title: Determination of the In-vivo Ultrafiltration Coefficient and Evaluation of Performance, Hemo- and Biocompatibility- and Safety-data of High Flux Hemodialyser Diacap Pro in Patients With End Stage Renal Disease on Chronic Hemodialysis

The main purpose of this study is the determination of the in-vivo ultrafiltration coefficient (in-vivo KUF) for Diacap Pro dialyzers following routine dialysis prescription in the United States.

Read the detailed description

The in-vivo KUF for Diacap Pro High Flux dialysers with the surface sizes of 1.3/ 1.6/ 1.9 sqm will be determined as required by the US guideline "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Conventional and High Permeability Hemodialyzers 1998" for comparison with the in-vitro KUF data.

Clinical data of at least 12 patients will be collected for determination of the in-vivo KUF complemented by safety-, performance-data for the removal of small and middle molecular substances and hemocompatibility data.

What participants receive

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

  • Diacap Pro High-FluxDevice

    During dialysis treatment ultrafiltration rate will be changed following a fixed schedule and resulting changes in Transmembrane Pressure (TMP) recorded to generate data for calculation of the in-vivo KUF.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in Transmembrane Pressure (TMP) dependent on differerent ultrafiltration rates for calculation of the in-vivo ultrafiltration coefficient (in-vivo KUF)

    UF-rates will be changed over a range starting from 600 ml/min to 1000 ml/min to 1400 ml/min to finally 1800 ml/min and resulting changes in Transmembrane Pressure (TMP) will be documented.

    Measured: For two of three dialysis sessions each week for a total study period of six weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Clearance data dialyzer [ml/min]

    For ß2M; Myoglobin; Retinol-Binding-Protein; alpha-1-Microglobulin; Albumin clearance data will be assessed by using serum samples pre- and post dialyzer at timepoints t=0 and t=240 min.

    Measured: For one of six dialysis sessions each two weeks for a total study period of six weeks

  2. Reduction rates dialyzer [%]

    For urea; creatinine; phosphate; ß2-Microglobulin; Myoglobin; Retinol-Binding-Protein; alpha-1 Microglobulin and Albumin reduction rates will be calculated by using serum-levels at timepoints t=0 and t=240 min.

    Measured: For two of three dialysis sessions each week for a total study period of six weeks

  3. Total removal of proteins [mg/session]

    Spent dialysate will be collected during the entire dialysis treatment. Considering dialysate flow rate and ultrafiltration volume concentration of ß2-Microglobulin; Myoglobin; Retinol-Binding-Protein;alpha-1 Microglobulin; Albumin; Total Protein will be used to calculate total removal by multiplying with the effective spent dialysate volume

    Measured: For one of six dialysis sessions each two weeks for a total study period of six weeks

  4. Complement-activation C3a and C5a [ng/ml]

    For complement activation C3a [ng/ml]; C5a [ng/ml] will be assessed at timepoints t=0, t=15; t=60; t=240 min.

    Measured: For one of six dialysis sessions each two weeks for a total study period of six weeks

  5. Complement-activation TAT III [µg/l]

    For complement activation TAT III [µg/l] will be assessed at timepoints t=0, t=15; t=60; t=240 min.

    Measured: For one of six dialysis sessions each two weeks for a total study period of six weeks

  6. Inflammatory response Interleukin-1, Interleukin-6 and TNF-alpha [pg/ml]

    For inflammatory response Interleukin-1 [pg/ml]; Interleukin-6 [pg/ml]; TNF-alpha will be assessed at timepoints t=0; t=15; t=60; t=240 min

    Measured: For one of six dialysis sessions each two weeks for a total study period of six weeks

  7. Inflammatory response CRP [mg/l]

    For inflammatory response CRP[mg/l] will be assessed at timepoints t=0; t=15; t=60; t=240 min

    Measured: For one of six dialysis sessions each two weeks for a total study period of six weeks

  8. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Number of patients presenting adverse events will be assessed following CTCAE v4.0 grading.

    Measured: November 2016 up to 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diacap Pro High-Flux in people with Kidney Failure,Chronic and Renal Insufficiency,Chronic, run by B.Braun Avitum AG at 1 site in Czechia.

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 12 inclusion and 6 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 Feb 2017. 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 Czechia. 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?

Changes in Transmembrane Pressure (TMP) dependent on differerent ultrafiltration rates for calculation of the in-vivo ultrafiltration coefficient (in-vivo KUF) (time frame: For two of three dialysis sessions each week for a total study period of six 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 7 Feb 2017.
