Trial summary

Anemia and inflammation are very common in patients with renal diseases. The most common procedure to detect anemia is to determine blood hemoglobin concentrations. The Haemospect® is a portable device for non-invasive hemoglobin determination that works with a sensor that is applicable in infants and adults alike. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Non-invasive Device to Determine Iron Deficiency Anemia in Children of Different Age Groups With Renal Failure

Anemia and inflammation are very common in patients with renal diseases. The most common procedure to detect anemia is to determine blood hemoglobin concentrations. The Haemospect® is a portable device for non-invasive hemoglobin determination that works with a sensor that is applicable in infants and adults alike.

The objective of this trial is to collect spectra with the non-invasive Haemospect® device in children of different age groups with renal failure and different hemoglobin concentrations. In parallel, corresponding hemoglobin values shall be obtained invasively to form the basis for the development of an algorithm for the device.

To determine inflammation, the frequencies of vasomotion and oxygenation of the tissue are measured non-invasively with the Haemospect®. Various blood parameters for iron and inflammation will also be determined, such as ferritin, hepcidin, transferrin, serum iron, white blood cell count and CRP.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Failure, run by Center for Studies of Sensory Impairment, Aging and Metabolism.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 23 Feb 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Hemoglobin (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Feb 2015.
