About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized, Controlled Trial to Demonstrate the Safety and Effectiveness of the NIKKISO DBB-EXA ES Hemodialysis Delivery System in Adult Patients With Chronic Renal Failure

The study objective is to verify the safety and effectiveness of the DBB-EXA ES Hemodialysis Delivery System to consistently deliver dialysate of the appropriate quality for infusion.

Read the detailed description

The study objective is to verify the safety and effectiveness of the DBB-EXA ES Hemodialysis Delivery System to consistently deliver dialysate of the appropriate quality for infusion. The safety will be evaluated by comparing the adverse event rate in the DBB-EXA ES Hemodialysis group (investigational) vs. the standard dialysis group (control).

The study population will include eligible adult patients diagnosed with chronic renal failure requiring routine dialysis treatments for a minimum of 90 days and with a minimum of 3 weekly sessions. Treatment duration will be at the discretion of the investigator. The duration of study participation for each subject is approximately eight (8) weeks; four (4) weeks of routine dialysis and four (4) weeks of treatment dialysis. The expected total study duration across all subjects (from recruitment to last subject visits) is approximately five (5) to six (6) months, dependent upon subject recruitment/enrollment and meeting 360 evaluable treatments. A minimum of 30 eligible subjects will be enrolled into the study ensuring a minimum of 360 evaluable treatments in the treatment arm.

The sub-study, VARRM, was conducted following the subject's completion of the primary eight (8) week clinical study. The total participation time for the VARRM sub-study was approximately 1.5 weeks. Subjects that participated in the VARRM sub-study had their vascular recirculation rates collected during treatments. A minimum of 12 subjects were expected to participate in this sub-study, with a minimum of 21 and maximum of 36 dialysis accesses evaluated.

What participants receive

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

  • DBB-EXA ES Hemodialysis SystemDevice

    The DBB-EXA ES Hemodialysis Delivery System is intended to support an optional online priming, rinseback and emergency bolus features. The appropriate priming of the hollow fiber dialyzer and blood tubing lines removes debris and air prior to device use, as well as ensuring proper rinseback.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse Event Rate

    The safety will be evaluated by comparing the adverse event rate in the DBB-EXA ES Hemodialysis group (investigational) vs. the standard dialysis group (control)

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Total Colony Forming Units and Endotoxin Levels

    The effectiveness will be evaluated by comparing the total Colony Forming Units (CFUs) and endotoxin levels calculated within dialysis fluid in the DBB-EXA ES Hemodialysis group (investigational) vs. the standard dialysis group (control).

    Measured: 8 Weeks

  2. Fluid Balance Evaluation

    The impact that online priming, online rinse back and online emergency bolus, if performed, has on fluid balance will be evaluated by assessing the proportion of subjects that have a Post-Dialysis Target Weight variance of > 0.5kg in the DBB-EXA ES Hemodialysis group (investigational) vs. the standard dialysis group (control).

    Measured: 8 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing DBB-EXA ES Hemodialysis System in people with Dialysis and Chronic Renal Failure, run by Nikkiso America, Inc. at 2 sites in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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 6 Oct 2021. 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 United States. 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?

Adverse Event Rate (time frame: 8 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 6 Oct 2021.
