NCT00824837

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a novel haemodialysis membrane, compared with the standard dialysis membrane, will increase the removal of beta2-microglobulin in chronic dialysis patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Beta2-microglobulin removal by new larger pore membrane versus standard haemodialysis membrane

    5 weeks (2 weeks in each arm, 1-week washout period)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Albumin loss with the use of new larger pore membrane compared with standard haemodialysis membrane

    5 weeks (2 weeks in each arm, 1-week washout period)

  • Removal of low-molecular-weight solutes by new larger pore membrane versus standard haemodialysis membrane

    5 weeks (2 weeks in each arm; 1-week washout period)

Study Arms (2)

A

EXPERIMENTAL

New larger pore membrane

Other: Larger pore haemodialysis membraneOther: Standard haemodialysis membrane

B

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Standard haemodialysis membrane

Other: Larger pore haemodialysis membraneOther: Standard haemodialysis membrane

Interventions

Patients receive haemodialysis sessions 3 times a week. They are randomized to start with either treatment A (experimental arm) or treatment B (active comparator arm) and continue for 2 weeks, followed by a 1-week washout period. The patients then cross-over and receive the other treatment (either B or A) for 2 weeks.
