Trial summary

Every patient included in the study will undergo 1 conventional hemodialysis treatment, ie 1 study visit. During the conventional hemodialysis treatment lasting 4 hours, 2 blood samples will be taken at different time points (5 minutes after dialysis start and 240 minutes after dialysis = at the end of the dialysis… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Non- Clinical Coagulation Activation During Hemodialysis: a Cross-sectional Study Evaluating Agreement and Correlation Between Hemodialysis Session Parameters, Biological Markers and Objective Measurements of Hemodialyzers: "NC-coact"

Every patient included in the study will undergo 1 conventional hemodialysis treatment, ie 1 study visit. During the conventional hemodialysis treatment lasting 4 hours, 2 blood samples will be taken at different time points (5 minutes after dialysis start and 240 minutes after dialysis = at the end of the dialysis session) to evaluate coagulation activation (TAT, PF1+2). Hemodialysis session parameters (arterial and venous pressure, TMP, OCM, BVM and prefilter pressure) will be noted at different time points (T5, T30, T60, T120, T180, T240). After discontinuation of the dialysis session, total cell volume will be measured using the Renatron II system® and the number of open fibers will be determined using micro-CT scanning.

What participants receive

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

  • blood sampleProcedure or surgery

    Blood sample at start and at the end of the dialysis session; membrane scoring after dialysis; total cell volume measurement of dialyzer after dialysis; micro-CT of dialyzer after dialysis.

Study groups in NCT04063423
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
hemodialysis study session* 4h hemodialysis session using standard polysulphone dialyzer and Nikkiso dialysis monitors * Minimal dose of unfractionated heparin (UFH) with loading dose 500IE and maintenance 500IE/h, stopped 60 minutes before session end in case of AVF use. * Standard bicarbonate-based ultrapure dialysate. Na, K, Ca, bicarbonate concentrations according to the patient's routine dialysis prescription. * The blood flow rate maximized as per routine nursing care. * Dialysate flow rate fixed at 500 ml/min. * Dialysate temperature between 35.5°C and 36.5°C. * Ultrafiltration according to patient's dry weight and supported ultrafiltration rate. * At the end of the dialysis session the blood will be returned (100ml/min) to the patient.
Receives: Procedure: blood sample

What is being measured

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

  1. TAT

    thrombin antithrombin complex levels (mcg/L). Samples for TAT measurement were taken during the single hemodialysis study treatment. All patients underwent their study treatments between October - December 2018. All analyses were performed in batch in January 2019.

    Measured: From first hemodialysis study session until interpretation of biological results, up to 6 months

  2. open fibers

    number of open fibers of dialyzer counted after microCT scanning of dialyzer membrane. Dialyzers were collected after the hemodialysis study treatment. All patients underwent their study treatments between October - December 2018. All micro CT scans were performed using the same scanner in Fabruary and March 2019.

    Measured: From first hemodialysis study session until interpretation of scan results, up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Diseases and 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 21 Aug 2019. 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?

TAT (time frame: From first hemodialysis study session until interpretation of biological results, up to 6 months). The study lists 2 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 21 Aug 2019.
