Trial summary

This clinical study is designed to evaluate the theoretical prediction of a lower glucose absorption in optimized automated peritoneal dialysis regimes. Patients will receive both a standard 6 x 2L 1.36% glucose regime or an optimized 7 x 2 L 2.27% glucose + 5 x 2 L 0.1% glucose regime in a crossover fashion. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Optimized vs. Standard Automated Peritoneal Dialysis Regimens (OptiStAR): A Randomized Controlled Trial

This clinical study is designed to evaluate the theoretical prediction of a lower glucose absorption in optimized automated peritoneal dialysis regimes. Patients will receive both a standard 6 x 2L 1.36% glucose regime or an optimized 7 x 2 L 2.27% glucose + 5 x 2 L 0.1% glucose regime in a crossover fashion.

Read the detailed description

Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) is a rapidly growing, home-based kidney replacement therapy promoting patient autonomy, and is associated with lower societal costs compared to hemodialysis. However, in light of the growing number of diabetic patients on PD, the unwanted glucose absorption during APD is problematic. Recent results (Öberg CM, Rippe B, 2017, see references), using a theoretical model of APD, indicate that large reductions in glucose absorption are possible by using specialized so-called optimized bi-modal treatment regimes having "UF cycles" using a higher glucose concentration (e.g. 2.27% glucose) and "Clearance cycles" using a low glucose concentration (e.g. 0.1% glucose).

What is being measured

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

  1. Glucose absorption

    Amount of glucose absorbed across the peritoneal membrane during the treatment

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Ultrafiltration

    Amount of water transported from the circulation to the peritoneal cavity during the treatment

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 1 year

  2. Creatinine clearance

    Amount of creatinine transported from the circulation to the peritoneal cavity during the treatment

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 1 year

  3. Urea clearance

    Amount of urea transported from the circulation to the peritoneal cavity during the treatment

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 1 year

  4. Sodium removal

    Amount of sodium transported from the circulation to the peritoneal cavity during the treatment

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 1 year

  5. Incidence of complications

    Complications that are or can be suspected to be related to the study intervention

    Measured: Up to 14 days post-intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) in people with End Stage Kidney Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease Requiring Chronic Dialysis, run by Lund University at 1 site in Argentina.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 12 Feb 2021. 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 Argentina. 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?

Glucose absorption (time frame: Through study completion, up to 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04017572, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 12 Feb 2021.
