Immunomodulatory Biomimetic Device to Treat Myocardial Stunning in End-stage Renal Disease Patients (ESRD)

Immunomodulatory Biomimetic Device to Treat Myocardial Stunning in End-stage Renal Disease Patients (ERSD)

Hemodialysis is a therapy that filters waste, removes extra fluid and balances electrolytes. In hemodialysis, blood is removed from the body and filtered through a man-made membrane called a dialyzer, and then the filtered blood is returned to the body. Hemodialysis is associated with injury to the heart muscle called myocardial stunning. This may occur for many reasons, including removal of fluid during dialysis or low blood pressure. Initial ischemia and subsequent white blood cell infiltration into the injured myocardium play a critical role in the degree of myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury.

In this study an additional man made membrane (selective cytopheretic device) and tubing will be added to the dialysis circuit. The device shifts the circulating white blood cells pool to a less inflammatory phenotype. Researchers believe the selective cytopheretic device will alter the phenotype of circulating white blood cells which play a role in myocardial stunning.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the selective cytopheretic device will reduce myocardial stunning events in hemodialysis patients. It will also report the rate of adverse events.

  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Hemodialysis

The treatment arm (all participants are in this arm) is done in two phases that are described below:

Treatment 1 will be standard hemodialysis (no device).

Treatment 2 will be hemodialysis with the study device. Of importance, this 5 hour session is planned to ensure adequate solute clearance but with only 4 hour high ultrafiltration to achieve the patients dry weight.

Each patient will receive two hemodialysis treatments while on this study. The first hemodialysis treatment will be standard of care hemodialysis. The second treatment will be the experimental hemodialysis treatment using the Selective cytopheretic device.
Other Names:
  • SCD
  • Selective cytopheretic device
  • SCD filter anticoagulated with regional citrate

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Regional Wall Abnormalities Identified on Echocardiogram
Time Frame: Baseline, 5 hour, 24 hours
Regional wall motion will be scored using a standard wall motion scoring scheme. (1= normal; 2=hypokinetic; 3= akinetic; 4=dyskinetic). Scores will be tabulated for each of 16 predefined segments and a global wall motion score calculated as the sum of individual scores divided by the number visualized segments.
Baseline, 5 hour, 24 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With an Adverse Event Based on the Clinical Laboratory Measurement: Ionized Calcium (iCa)
Time Frame: Hour 1, hour 2, hour 3, hour 4, hour 5
Number of participants who experienced a clinically significant change in systemic ionized calcium compared to reference range: 1.12 to 1.30.
Hour 1, hour 2, hour 3, hour 4, hour 5
Number of Participants With an Adverse Event Based on the Clinical Laboratory Measurement: Hemoglobin
Time Frame: Baseline, Hour 5, 24 hours
Number of participants who experienced a clinically significant change in hemoglobin who experience a change of more than 10% of baseline
Baseline, Hour 5, 24 hours
