About this study
Official title: Fluid Intake App for Management of Volume Intake in Patients Receiving Chronic Hemodialysis Therapy, Full Scale Trial
Methods are needed to help decrease interdialytic weight gains in hemodialysis patients. One potential method for accomplishing this goal is to develop an app for smartphones that allow patients to track their fluid intake throughout the course of the day. NCT 03759847 was designed to test the safety and efficacy of this app. In this protocol, part of the same IRB number, patients with large interdialytic fluid gains (3.5% or greater) will use the app to to determine the association between the interdialytic weight gain and the fluid consumed as recorded by use of the app for each interdialytic period.
Read the detailed description
In this full scale study, the app will be used to try and influence fluid intake behavior in those patients who are identified to have large fluid weight gains, as defined by a greater than 4% increase in interdialytic weight.
There will be two parts to the full scale trial. In the first part of the full scale study, denoted as the active phase, which will last for two months, study participants will be encouraged to use the app on a daily basis and will meet with the study coordinator on weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 to further assist the participant in decreasing fluid intake between dialysis sessions. In the second portion of the study, denoted as the passive phase, which will last for six months, the patient will use the app and meet with the study coordinator only when requested by the patient. The number of these sessions will be recorded. At the end of the six month passive phase, the participant will meet for the last time with the study coordinator. During each study visit, subjects will be asked to transfer the data from the App to the study coordinator via the data export function of the app.

NCT 03759847 was designed to test the safety and efficacy of this app. In this protocol, part of the same IRB number, patients with large interdialytic fluid gains (3.5% or greater) will use the app to to determine the association between the interdialytic weight gain and the fluid consumed as recorded by use of the app for each interdialytic period.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Fluid intake app in people with Weight Gain, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 1 site in United States.
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 9 inclusion and 4 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 10 Feb 2022. 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 United States. 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?
Mean intradialytic weight gain (time frame: between baseline (pre-app) and the Active phase (months 1 and 2)). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04194164, which also lists 7 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 10 Feb 2022.
