Brief Summary:
Single blinded randomized controlled trial comparing Expanded Hemodialysis (HDx) using THERANOVA-500 dialyzer versus conventional hemodialysis (HD) using REVACLEAR-400 dialyzer in chronic hemodialysis patients over a 6-week intervention period. Primary endpoint is post-hemodialysis recovery time. Secondary endpoints are six pre-dialysis biomarker levels (b2-microglobuline, procalcitonine, free light chains (gamma-lambda), IL-6, CRP) and three Quality of Life (QoL)(adapted KDQoL-SF questionnaire, EQ-5D, and rESAS).
Detailed Description:
This is a randomized controlled trial involving 70 subjects divided in 4 groups: 25 single blinded subjects using THERANOVA-500 dialyzer enabling Expanded Hemodialysis (HDx) ; 25 single blinded subjects using REVACLEAR-400 dialyzer enabling conventional hemodialysis (HD); 10 non-blinded subjects using THERANOVA-500 enabling Expanded Hemodialysis (HDx) and 10 non-blinded subjects using REVACLEAR-400 dialyzer enabling conventional hemodialysis (HD) for their chronic hemodialysis treatments over an active intervention period of 6 weeks. All subjects are to be dialyzed using REVACLEAR-400 enabling conventional hemodialysis (HD) for two weeks prior and for two weeks after the intervention period.
Primary endpoint is mean post-hemodialysis recovery time (as reported by subjects once weekly) between groups (THERANOVA-500 vs REVACLEAR-400) (all subjects) during the 6-week intervention period.
Secondary endpoints are:
1. Post-hemodialysis recovery time change (mean of 2-week pre and 2-week post intervention period compared to mean during 6-week intervention period)(mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects),
2. Post-hemodialysis recovery time difference (mean between blinded and non-blinded THERANOVA-500 treated subjects during the 6-week intervention period,
3. Post-hemodialysis recovery time difference (mean between blinded and non-blinded REVACLEAR-400 treated subjects during the 6-week intervention period),
4. Post-hemodialysis recovery time difference mean gap between secondary endpoints 2 and 3,
5. Percentage of subjects who report no (zero) recovery time (mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400) during 6-week intervention period (all subjects),
6. Pre and post 6-week intervention period pre-dialysis difference levels of beta-2 microglobulin (mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects)(in nmol/L),
7. Pre and post 6-week intervention period pre-dialysis difference levels of procalcitonin (mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects)(in ng/ml),
8. Pre and post 6-week intervention period pre-dialysis difference levels of free light chains (gamma and lambda)(mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects)(in mg/L),
9. Pre and post 6-week intervention period pre-dialysis difference levels of interleukine-6 (mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects)(in pg/ml),
10. Pre and post 6-week intervention period pre-dialysis difference levels of C reactive protein (CRP)(mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects)(in mg/L),
11. Quality of life change (pre and at 2 weeks of intervention period) (mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects)(assessed by adapted KDQoL-SF questionnaire)(max score 130),
12. Quality of life change (pre and at 4 weeks of intervention period) (mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects) assessed by adapted KDQoL-SF questionnaire)(max score 130),
13. Quality of life change (at 4 weeks of intervention period and week 8 of study)(mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects) assessed by adapted KDQoL-SF (max score 130),
14. Quality of life change (pre and at 2 weeks of intervention period)(mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects)(assessed by EQ-5D questionnaire)(max score 125),
15. Quality of life change (pre and at 4 weeks of intervention period)(mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects)(assessed by EQ-5D questionnaire)(max score 125),
16. Quality of life change (at 4 weeks of intervention period and week 8 of study)(mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects)(assessed by EQ-5D questionnaire (max score 125),
17. Quality of life change (pre and at 2 weeks of intervention period (mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects)(assessed by rESAS)(max score 100),
18. Quality of life change (pre and at 4 weeks of intervention period (mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects)(assessed by rESAS)(max score 100),
19. Quality of life change (at 4 weeks of intervention period and week 8 of study)(mean THERANOVA-500 vs mean REVACLEAR-400)(all subjects)(assessed by rESAS)(max score 100),
20. Subjects's QoL questionnaire fill preference (adapted KD QoL-SF vs EQ-5D vs rESAS) at study week 8.
