What participants receive

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

  • PD cycler SilenciaDevice

    Treatment for 2 weeks either with PD-Night or Homechoice PD cycler (Comparators) depending on the previous Treatment ((clinical phase I). At the end of these 2 treatment weeks and a subsequent training phase which up to 3 weeks, treatment with the Silencia PD cycler for 2 further weeks (clinical phase II).

What is being measured

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

  1. Total Kt/V urea

    Measurement of solute removal during peritoneal dialysis focuses on urea

    Measured: at the beginning and end of clinical phase 1 and 2 (each clinical phase is 14 days)

  2. Achieving Kt/Vurea ≥ 1.7

    Measurement of solute removal during peritoneal dialysis focuses on urea

    Measured: at the beginning and end of clinical phase 1 and 2 (each clinical phase is 14 days)

  3. Mean daily ultrafiltration (UF)

    Daily ultrafiltration reached by the Patient with APD

    Measured: at the beginning and end of clinical phase 1 and 2 (each clinical phase is 14 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PD cycler Silencia in people with Renal Failure and End Stage Renal Disease, run by Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH at 4 sites in Chile.

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 9 inclusion and 8 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 2 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Chile. 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?

Total Kt/V urea (time frame: at the beginning and end of clinical phase 1 and 2 (each clinical phase is 14 days)). The study lists 3 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 2 Aug 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
