About this study

Official title: Effect of Gui-Lu-Er-Xian-Jiao-Wan on Intradialytic Hypotension: a Randomized Crossover Pilot Trial

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH), a common complication during hemodialysis (HD) could increase patients' morbidity and mortality. Previous studies considered that some Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) plays a complementary role in reducing the frequency of IDH. This trial is aimed to investigate the effect of Gui-Lu-Er-Xian-Jiao-Wan (GLEXJW) in patients with intradialytic hypotension.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Gui-Lu-Er-Xian-Jiao-Wan in people with Intradialytic Hypotension, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 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 1 site in Taiwan. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chun-Ting Liu (+88677317123, juntin0214@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intradialytic hypotension episode (time frame: Each time of dialysis during 12-weeks study period.). 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 26 Aug 2022.
