About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Contact Phase Activation During Hemodialysis Using Different Dialysis Membranes: a Prospective Randomized Crossover Study

Every patient included in the study will undergo 3 standardised hemodialysis treatments, each using a different dialysis membrane (PMMA, PS, AN69ST). The order of the membranes used will be randomized.

During each conventional and standardised hemodialysis treatment, 6 blood samples will be taken at different time points (T0, T5, T15, T30, T90, T240) to evaluate coagulation activation (TAT, PF1+2, d-dimers, TF) and, more specifically, activation of the contact phase pathway of coagulation (kallikrein, fXIa, fXIIa).

Being tested
PMMA (BKU), PS (Phylter), AN69ST (Evodial)

Study groups in NCT03090984
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PMMA (BKU)Active comparatorPatients included in the study will undergo 3 hemodialysis treatments. During the PMMA Arm, patient will be dialyzed using a BKU 1.6 (Toray) dialyzer. All study treatments will be standardized for dialysis access, priming procedure, blood and dialysate flows, anticoagulation therapy and duration of the hemodialysis session. During each study treatment, blood samples will be taken at specified time points (T0, T5, T15, T30, T90, T240) to assess overall coagulation activation (TAT, PF1+2, d-dimers), contact phase activation (kallikrein, fXIa, fXIIa), and activation of the extrinsic coagulation pathway (TF).
Receives: Device: PMMA (BKU)
PS (Phylter)Active comparatorPatients included in the study will undergo 3 hemodialysis treatments. During the PS Arm, patient will be dialyzed using a Phylter 1.7 (Bellco) dialyzer. All study treatments will be standardized for dialysis access, priming procedure, blood and dialysate flows, anticoagulation therapy and duration of the hemodialysis session.

AN69ST (Evodial)Active comparatorPatients included in the study will undergo 3 hemodialysis treatments. During the AN69ST Arm, patient will be dialyzed using a Evodial 1.6 (Gambro) dialyzer. All study treatments will be standardized for dialysis access, priming procedure, blood and dialysate flows, anticoagulation therapy and duration of the hemodialysis session.
Receives: Device: AN69ST (Evodial)

    Measured: Blood samples are taken before hemodialysis treatment start and 5minutes (min), 15min, 30min, 90min and 240min after hemodialysis treatment start.

  2. Change in contact phase activation induced by hemodialysis treatment, assessed by measurement of plasma fXIa.

    Chromogenic test for plasma fXIa (mIU/mL).

    Measured: Blood samples are taken before hemodialysis treatment start and 5min, 15min, 30min, 90min and 240min after hemodialysis treatment start.

  3. Change in contact phase activation induced by hemodialysis treatment, assessed by measurement of plasma fXIIa.

    ELISA testing for plasma fXIIa (pg/mL).

    Measured: Blood samples are taken before hemodialysis treatment start and 5min, 15min, 30min, 90min and 240min after hemodialysis treatment start.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in overall coagulation activation induced by hemodialysis treatment, assessed by measurement of plasma TAT.

    ELISA testing for plasma TAT (µg/L).

    Measured: Blood samples are taken before hemodialysis treatment start and 5min, 15min, 30min, 90min and 240min after hemodialysis treatment start.

  2. Change in overall coagulation activation induced by hemodialysis treatment, assessed by measurement of plasma PF1+2.

    ELISA testing for plasma PF1+2 (pmol/L).

    Measured: Blood samples are taken before hemodialysis treatment start and 5min, 15min, 30min, 90min and 240min after hemodialysis treatment start.

  3. Change in overall coagulation activation induced by hemodialysis treatment, assessed by measurement of plasma d-dimers.

    Immunoassay for plasma d-dimers (ng/mL)

    Measured: Blood samples are taken before hemodialysis treatment start and 5min, 15min, 30min, 90min and 240min after hemodialysis treatment start.

  4. Change in extrinsic coagulation activation during hemodialysis treatment assessed by measurement of plasma Tissue Factor

    ELISA testing for plasme Tissue Factor (pg/mL)

    Measured: Blood samples are taken before hemodialysis treatment start and 5min, 15min, 30min, 90min and 240min after hemodialysis treatment start.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PMMA (BKU), PS (Phylter) and AN69ST (Evodial) in people with End Stage Renal Disease, run by Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel at 1 site in Belgium.

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 6 inclusion and 13 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 15 Aug 2017. 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 Belgium. 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.

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?

Change in contact phase activation induced by hemodialysis treatment, assessed by measurement of plasma kallikrein. (time frame: Blood samples are taken before hemodialysis treatment start and 5minutes (min), 15min, 30min, 90min and 240min after hemodialysis treatment start.). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03090984, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Aug 2017.
