About this study

To investigate the biocompatibility of the peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution balance in comparison to the conventional PD solution in APD(automated peritoneal dialysis) patients using the APD cycler sleep•safe.

Read the detailed description

Equivalence of the investigational PD solution balance regarding fluid status compared to the conventional PD solution.

Effects of balance on inflammation and systemic advanced glycation end products formation.

Effects of balance on peritoneal and total urea clearance, on peritoneal and total creatinine clearance and on ultrafiltration, on residual diuresis and on cholesterol levels.

Safety of the investigational PD solution balance and the conventional PD solution as a control drug.

The mesothelial cell mass assessed by Cancer Antigen 125 is affected by the use of the type of PD solution in APD patients using sleep•safe. Treating patients with the PD solution balance leads to not more than 1 litre difference in hydration in comparison to the conventional PD solution which is considered as clinically not relevant regarding blood pressure.

Solution B (balance PD solution), Solution A (conventional PD solution)

What participants receive

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

  • Solution B (balance PD solution)Drug

    Also called Balance

    balance 1.5% glucose, solution for peritoneal dialysis; balance 2.3% glucose, solution for peritoneal dialysis; balance 4.25% glucose, solution for peritoneal dialysis, each with 1.25 mmol/l or 1.75 mmol/l calcium

  • Solution A (conventional PD solution)Drug

    Also called CAPD 2, CAPD 3, CAPD 4, CAPD 17, CAPD 18 and CAPD 19

    Solutions for peritoneal dialysis: CAPD 2 (1.5% glucose, 1.75mmmol/l calcium), CAPD 3 (4.25 % glucose, 1.75mmmol/l calcium), CAPD 4 (2.3% glucose, 1.75mmmol/l calcium), CAPD 17 (1.5% glucose, 1.25mmmol/l calcium), CAPD 18 (4.25% glucose, 1.25mmmol/l calcium) and CAPD 19 (2.3% glucose, 1.25mmmol/l calcium)

What is being measured

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

  1. CA 125 (cancer antigen 125) appearance rate in the 24 hours effluent and estimated hydration

    The appearance rate is defined as the sum of the amount of CA125 determined in each outflow bag (concentration of CA125 in outflow multiplied with outflow volume) divided by the real cumulative dwell time of all dwells performed on the day of the 24-hour dialysate collection.

    Measured: 16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Solution B (balance PD solution) and Solution A (conventional PD solution) in people with Chronic Renal Failure, run by Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH at 7 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 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 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Spain, Poland. 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?

CA 125 (cancer antigen 125) appearance rate in the 24 hours effluent and estimated hydration (time frame: 16 weeks). 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 May 2016.
