About this study

Official title: Pilot Study to Determine Whether Cooled Peritoneal Dialysis Fluid Confers Cardio-Protective Effects

The study team aimed to investigate the relationship between occlusive coronary artery disease, myocardial perfusion, and peritoneal dialysate temperature. In addition, the study team aimed to identify how abnormal myocardial perfusion in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is related to occlusive coronary artery disease, to identify factors associated with occlusive coronary artery disease in end-stage renal failure patients on PD. Finally, the study team identified factors associated with PD induced cardiac injury in end-stage renal failure patients on this dialysis modality.

In order to assess the patients response to physiological stress and the functional relevance of their coronary artery disease, patients underwent assessment using dual energy contrast enhanced (DCE) CT assessment of coronary arteries and myocardial perfusion. An initial CT scan with administration of contrast established baseline information regarding the extent of coronary artery disease, fibrosis, and myocardial perfusion at rest. Following this, patients underwent pharmacological stress with the administration of adenosine and a repeat CT scan established the response to stress in terms of myocardial perfusion. On the second study visit patients were started on C-CAPD using peritoneal dialysate cooled to between 32-33 degrees centigrade, at a pre-determined and precisely controlled temperature for the 4 hour duration of C-CAPD. Subsequently, patients were injected with a pharmacological stressor in the form of adenosine. They then underwent DCE CT assessment of coronary arteries and myocardial perfusion as done in the first visit. The second CT scan took place following a PD dwell.

What participants receive

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

  • coolingProcedure or surgery

    First, patients underwent peritoneal dialysis (PD) at 37 C (standard temperature) and then patients underwent PD cooling. After each PD session, the patient had a CT scan for the study team to study myocardial perfusion at rest and after introduction of a pharmacological stressor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between occlusive coronary artery disease and myocardial perfusion

    Investigate the correlation between occlusive coronary artery disease, myocardial perfusion, and peritoneal dialysate temperature. Patients will have a CT scan to measure perfusion (mL/min/g) after peritoneal dialysis

    Measured: The day of study visit 1, lasting for approximately 2 hours

  2. Correlation between occlusive coronary artery disease and myocardial perfusion

    Investigate the correlation between occlusive coronary artery disease, myocardial perfusion and peritoneal dialysate temperature. Patients will have a CT scan to measure perfusion (mL/min/g) after peritoneal dialysis

    Measured: The day of study visit 2, lasting for approximately 6 hours

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 19 May 2020. 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.

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?

Correlation between occlusive coronary artery disease and myocardial perfusion (time frame: The day of study visit 1, lasting for approximately 2 hours). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04394780, which also lists 18 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 19 May 2020.
