Trial summary

End stage renal disease is a severe pathology in which some toxic waste and an excessive amount of water can accumulate in the human body with life threatening consequences. Maintenance hemodialysis is one of the possible treatment for this disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Measurement of Water-soluble Vitamins and Trace Elements Loss With Maintenance Post-dilution Haemodiafiltration Patient

End stage renal disease is a severe pathology in which some toxic waste and an excessive amount of water can accumulate in the human body with life threatening consequences. Maintenance hemodialysis is one of the possible treatment for this disease.

Hemodialysis filter the blood through a membrane according to a dialysis bath and so can be able to purify the blood of the toxic waste.

Otherwise, since the 1980s, the investigator know that patient in maintenance hemodialysis can have some deficiency in water soluble vitamins and trace elements. Mechanisms of the deficiency are multiple (a decreased of food intake, a diminution of the appetite, digestive malabsorption du to medics and comorbidities and loss in hemodialysis).

Impact of this deficiency have an important impact on vital prognosis for these patients. These nutrients are essential for AND synthesis, mechanism of inflammation, cells membranes synthesis, etc. DOPPs study in 2004 have shown a decreased of 16% in the mortality within 4 years with supplemented patients. Also, since this study, international recommendations were wrote in 2009, then in 2020, in order to supplement in vitamins and trace elements patients in maintenance conventional hemodialysis.

Despite these recommendations, some supplementary efforts are necessary, especially since online hemodiafiltration, a new process, is widely available and used in particular in Europe. This process combines 2 phenomena, diffusion and convection, through high-flux membranes. This process can remove a large quantity of molecule present in blood and especially the middle-molecule. In return, a more important quantity of water soluble vitamins and oligo-elements could be removed by this technique.

Also, the investigator would like to measure this loss of vitamins and trace-elements in patients with maintenance online post-dilution hemodiafiltration process with dialysate sample and blood concentrations measured (usual patient monitoring) during the session.

What participants receive

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

  • Water-soluble vitamins and trace elements measuresBiological

    We would like to measure water-soluble vitamins (B1, B6, B9, B12, C) and trace elements (zinc, selenium) in blood and dialysate for the patients treated by online post-dilution hemodiafiltration patients. There measures on blood are done systematically during the half-yearly report of our patients in our hemodialysis center. Only results are collect for the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the blood concentrations measured in vitamins and trace elements before and after the hemodialysis session by the post-dilution HDF technique during the half-yearly assessment (usual patient follow-up).

    We would like to measure the concentrations of water-soluble vitamins and trace elements in dialysate by collecting 1% of this by Theraflux® device, and compare to the blood concentration collecting during the half-yearly report at the beginning then at the end of one hemodialysis session with online post-dilution hemodiafiltration session.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Hemolysis, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 6 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 5 May 2022. 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 France. 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?

Comparison of the blood concentrations measured in vitamins and trace elements before and after the hemodialysis session by the post-dilution HDF technique during the half-yearly assessment (usual patient follow-up). (time frame: Day 1). 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 5 May 2022.
