About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Long Term Effect of BCM Guided Fluid Management in MHD Patients

It is hypothesized that bioimpedance spectroscope guided fluid management will help patient reach euvolemic status, and increase long term survival.

Background: Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) was helpful in identifying hypervolemia. Observational data using BIA methods showed that hypervolemic patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) suffered from high mortality risk. But it is not clear if BIA guided fluid management can improve MHD patients' survival. The objectives of the BOCOMO study are to evaluate the outcome of BIA guided fluid management comparing with standard care.

Design: This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Setting and Participants: More than 1300 participants from 16 clinical sites will be included in the study. The enrollment period will last 6 months, and minimum length of follow-up will not less than 36 months. MHD patients aged more than 18 years but less than 80 years who had been on MHD for at least 3 months and considered suitable candidates will be invited to participate in the study. Participants will be randomized to BIA arm or control arm using 1:1 ratio. A portable whole body bioimpedance spectroscopy device (BCM-Fresenius Medical Care D GmbH) will be used for BIA measurement at baseline for both arm, and every 2 months in BCM arm.

Predictors: BCM guided fluid management and fluid management using standard care.

Outcome and measurements: The primary intent-to-treat analysis compares composite endpoint between BCM arm and control arm. The secondary intent-to-treat analysis compares left ventricular thickness, blood pressure, medication, and incidence and length of hospitalization between BCM arm and control arm. Death, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral arterial disease will be used as composite endpoint.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of composite endpoint

    Death, acute myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage, peripheral arterial disease will be used as composite endpoint.

    Measured: during 36 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change from baseline in Left ventricular thickness once a year

    Measured: baseline, and once a year during the following 36 months

  2. Change from baseline in Pre-dialysis blood pressure every 2 months

    Measured: baseline, every 2 months during the following 36 months

  3. Change from baseline in anti-hypertensives DDD every 2 months

    Defined daily dose (DDD) will be calculated according to WHO recommendation at baseline, and every 2 months thereafter. Trend of DDD change will be compared between the two arms.

    Measured: Baseline, and every 2 months during the following 36 months

  4. Incidence of all cause and congestive heart failure related hospitalization

    Incidence of all cause and congestive heart failure related hospitalization will be compared between arms.

    Measured: during the 36 months

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Incidence of composite endpoint (time frame: during 36 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01509937, which also lists 22 linked publications.

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 24 Nov 2015.
