Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Require maintenance haemodialysis in an ambulatory care setting. Study will be conducted in a single centre in a tertiary hospital. Patients with a range of baseline fluid statuses will be considered for enrollment.

Who may be able to join

  • On haemodialysis in an ambulatory care setting.
  • Demonstrates understanding of correct use of the Sixty device.
  • Capable and willing to measure blood pressure at home on a daily basis.
  • Willing to give written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Conditions precluding use of bioimpedance (e.g. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator, pacemakers, hearing aids, pregnancy).
  • Significant confusion or any concomitant medical condition, which would limit the ability of the patient to record symptoms or other parameters.

About this study

Pilot-scale, single-arm,observational study to assess the utility and acceptability of a wearable hydration monitor in haemodialysis patients compared with bioimpedance and haemodialysis machine data.

Read the detailed description

Pilot-scale, single-arm,observational study to assess the utility and acceptability of a wearable hydration monitor in haemodialysis patients compared with bioimpedance and haemodialysis machine data.

The Sixty device uses diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to measure fluid status.

20 patients will be assessed during the study observation period.

10 patients undergo an observation period of approximately three weeks. The patients will be asked to wear the Sixty device during dialysis and at night throughout the study observation period.

Following the completion of this 3 week observation period, an additional 10 patients will wear the Sixty device as per the protocol for 3 weeks.

Haemodialysis parameters will be assessed as usual during the study.

Bioimpedance measurements will be taken pre and post-dialysis once weekly during the mid-week dialysis session:

Patient-reported symptoms related to haemodialysis will be recorded, including symptoms of hypervolaemia and hypovolaemia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of Sixty device versus bioimpedance

    The primary endpoint will be to evaluate the accuracy of the Sixty device data in assessing volume in haemodialysis patients compared to bioimpedance

    Bioimpedance measurements will be performed using the Fresenius Body Composition Monitor (BCM)

    Measured: 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Comparison of changes in volume status as determined by Sixty device versus fluid removed per unit of time during haemodialysis session

    Fluid removed (mls/ unit of time)

    Measured: 3 weeks

  2. Comparison of changes in volume status as determined by Sixty device versus blood pressure

    Blood pressure (mmHg)

    Measured: 3 weeks

  3. Comparison of changes in volume status as determined by Sixty device versus change in weight pre and post dialysis

    Weight (kg)

    Measured: 3 weeks

  4. Comparison of changes in volume status as determined by Sixty device versus change in blood volume monitoring

    Blood volume monitoring: Relative blood volume (%)

    Measured: 3 weeks

  5. Acceptability of Sixty device

    The patient's opinion of the acceptability of the Sixty device as assessed by their response to a questionnaire.

    Measured: 3 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of End Stage Renal Disease and Dialysis; Complications, run by Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland at 1 site in Ireland.

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 2 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 5 Sep 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 Ireland. 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?

Accuracy of Sixty device versus bioimpedance (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 NCT04623281, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Sep 2021.
