About this study

Official title: Comparison of Post-dilution On-line Hemodiafiltration and Hemodialysis (TURKISH HDF STUDY)

This study aims to compare high-efficiency post-dilution on-line hemodiafiltration and high-flux hemodialysis regarding mortality, hospitalization rate, several clinical and laboratory parameters, and required medications.

The investigators hypothesize that high-efficiency post-dilution on-line hemodiafiltration may provide better outcome, less morbidity, higher quality of life, and lesser requirement of medications.

Read the detailed description

The proposed controlled, randomized study aims to compare high-efficiency post-dilution on-line hemodiafiltration and high-flux hemodialysis regarding mortality, hospitalization rate, several clinical and laboratory parameters, and required medications.

Seven hundred and eighty HD patients will be taken into the study. The study will last for two years with an intermediate analysis at the first year. The patients will be randomly placed in two groups:

  1. Post-dilution on-line hemodiafiltration,
  2. High-flux hemodialysis.

In both groups, FX series high-flux helixone membranes will be used, duration of each session 240 minutes, and blood flow rates 250-400 ml/min. ONLINEplus integrated Fresenius 4008S machines will be used for on-line post-dilution HDF. Substitution volume will be above 15 liters in hemodiafiltration sessions.

Echocardiography for determination of left ventricular geometry, pulse wave velocity analysis to assess arterial stiffness, evaluation of nutritional and inflammatory state, assessment of life quality, depression and cost analysis will be performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing post-dilution on-line hemodiafiltration and high flux hemodialysis in people with End-Stage Renal Disease, run by Ercan OK at 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 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 9 Sep 2013. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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?

composite of overall mortality and new cardiovascular events to include myocardial infarction, stroke, revascularization, and unstable angina pectoris requiring hospitalization. (time frame: two years). 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 9 Sep 2013.
