Reduction Ratio and Clearance During Hemodialysis With MCO-filter Compared to HDF With Standard High-flux Filter

November 11, 2019 updated by: Region Skane

Reduction Ratio and Clearance of Middle Molecules During a Single Hemodialysis Session With Medium Cut-Off (MCO) Filter Compared to Hemodiafiltration (HDF) With Standard High-flux Filter

The Medium Cut-Off dialysis (MCO) membrane has been developed to improve middle molecule removal compared to standard high-flux dialysis filters.

The major aim of this study is to compare the reduction ratio of middle molecules, during a single hemodialysis session with MCO-filter, compared to hemodiafiltration (HDF) with standard high-flux filter.

Secondary aims are to compare the reduction ratio of small and large molecules between the treatments.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
