About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Plasma Lipoprotein Apheresis Systems DIAMED and MONET vs. the Whole Blood Apheresis System DALI: Cross-over Study in Patients With Cardiovascular Disease and Severe Dyslipidemia

The clinical Investigation will be performed to compare the safety and effectiveness of the CE certified and established lipoprotein apheresis systems MONET vs. DALI and DIAMED vs. DALI for optimizing the individual therapy of patients with severe dyslipidemia using established and novel efficacy parameters.

Read the detailed description

Comparison of the safety and effectiveness of the CE certified and established lipoprotein apheresis systems MONET vs. DALI and DIAMED vs. DALI for optimizing the individual therapy of patients with severe dyslipidemia using established and novel efficacy parameters.

The primary objective is to compare the whole blood lipoprotein apheresis system DALI with the plasma lipoprotein apheresis systems MONET and DIAMED with regard to their efficacies in removing total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides and lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)).

The secondary objective is to compare the whole blood lipoprotein apheresis system DALI with the plasma lipoprotein apheresis system MONET and DIAMED with regard to their efficacies in removing other novel efficacy parameters.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Removal rate of total cholesterol

    Removal rate of total cholesterol as primary endpoint in blood samples to evaluate the clinical performance of the apheresis systems

    Measured: every week for 6 weeks or biweekly for 12 weeks

  2. Removal rate of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)

    Removal rate of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) as primary endpoint in blood samples to evaluate the clinical performance of the apheresis systems

    Measured: every week for 6 weeks or biweekly for 12 weeks

  3. Removal rate of triglycerides

    Removal rate of triglycerides as primary endpoint in blood samples to evaluate the clinical performance of the apheresis systems

    Measured: every week for 6 weeks or biweekly for 12 weeks

  4. Removal rate of lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)).

    Removal rate of lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) as primary endpoint in blood samples to evaluate the clinical performance of the apheresis systems

    Measured: every week for 6 weeks or biweekly for 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lipoprotein Apheresis MONET and DALI and Lipoprotein Apheresis DIAMED and DALI in people with Hypercholesterolemia, Familial and Dyslipidemias, run by Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH at 2 sites in Germany.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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 28 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. 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?

Removal rate of total cholesterol (time frame: every week for 6 weeks or biweekly for 12 weeks). The study lists 4 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 28 Jul 2022.
