Phase II Randomized Study of Standard vs High Amount of Hemodialysis Using Low vs High Flux Dialyzer Membranes for End Stage Renal Disease Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for certified medical advice, travels to or treatment with a real dr.. We aren't doctors. Always consult your mD on Phase II Randomized Study of Standard vs High Amount of Hemodialysis Using Low vs High Flux Dialyzer Membranes for End Stage Renal Disease conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Phase II Randomized Study of Standard vs High Amount of Hemodialysis Using Low vs High Flux Dialyzer Membranes for End Stage Renal Disease Clinical research trials and Phase II Randomized Study of Standard vs High Amount of Hemodialysis Using Low vs High Flux Dialyzer Membranes for End Stage Renal Disease medical trials occur in many of places across the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectiveness of new does drugs. The role of the studies / undertakings is to figure out certain human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to locate treatments for all forms of circumstances, including Phase II Randomized Study of Standard vs High Amount of Hemodialysis Using Low vs High Flux Dialyzer Membranes for End Stage Renal Disease. Phase II Randomized Study of Standard vs High Amount of Hemodialysis Using Low vs High Flux Dialyzer Membranes for End Stage Renal Disease Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to get medical treatment options before they are available to the masses. Most times the human subjects acquire treatment for free of charge, and sometimes they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Phase II Randomized Study of Standard vs High Amount of Hemodialysis Using Low vs High Flux Dialyzer Membranes for End Stage Renal Disease clinical trial. Participants oftentimes recieve the finest healthcare available for their Phase II Randomized Study of Standard vs High Amount of Hemodialysis Using Low vs High Flux Dialyzer Membranes for End Stage Renal Disease condition. Dangers are a reality, nonetheless, and might include extra or frequent physician calls, health hazards (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Phase II Randomized Study of Standard vs High Amount of Hemodialysis Using Low vs High Flux Dialyzer Membranes for End Stage Renal Disease



Phase II Randomized Study of Standard vs High Amount of Hemodialysis Using Low vs High Flux Dialyzer Membranes for End Stage Renal Disease

For Condition: End Stage Renal Disease
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) , University of Rochester
Synopsis: OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate whether hemodialysis providing a 2-pool, variable volume urea kinetic modelling value of 1.05 versus 1.45 reduces mortality and morbidity in patients with end stage renal disease. II. Compare the efficacy of high versus low flux dialyzer membranes.
Details: PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified by center, age, and diabetes prior to dialysis initiation. Patients are randomly assigned to 1 of 4 groups: moderate dose dialysis, low flux membrane; high dose dialysis, low flux membrane; moderate dose dialysis, high flux membrane; or high dose dialysis, high flux membrane. Moderate dose is a target eKt/V of 1.05 and high dose is 1.45. The dose and delivery of dialysis are measured monthly by the equilibrated fractional clearance of urea (eKt/V) calculated with double pool kinetics. Patients are dialyzed 3 times a week in the shortest possible time (minimum 2.5 hours), adjusted for adequate fluid removal. General medical care, protein and calorie intake, and dialyzer reuse and other aspects of dialysis therapy are standardized. The protocol document lists approved dialyzers; no unsubstituted cellulosic membranes are permitted. The intervention phase of this study is 5 years. Patients are followed for survival.
