Efficacy and Tolerance of RHEOpheresis in the Treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease in Hemodialysis Patients (RHEO-PAD)
Efficacy and Tolerance of RHEOpheresis in the Treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease in Hemodialysis Patients: a Prospective Randomized Single-blind Trial
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with limb-threatening ischemia (PAD-LTI) involves both macrocirculation and microcirculation. Macrocirculatory abnormalities are accessible to revascularization techniques (endovascular or surgical) contrary to microcirculatory abnormalities. Conservative treatments have limited efficacy in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). There is no alternative treatment for patients with PAD-LTI in hemodialysis.
Rheopheresis is an apheresis technique specifically designed for the treatment of microcirculatory disorders in which anomalies of rheology are at the center of physiopathology. This double cascade plasma filtration technique reduces plasma viscosity and eliminates inflammation mediators which play an essential role in PAD. This technique has already shown its effectiveness in a randomized trial in dry Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), another pathology of microcirculation. The effectiveness of rheopheresis in PAD-LTI has only been reported in a small number of cases.
This Hypothesis is that the treatment of microcirculation by rheopheresis would improve wound healing of the ischemic lesion and/or reduce major amputation and thus the prognosis of the affected limb of the patient with PAD-LTI in hemodialysis. This objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of rheopheresis, (twelve sessions), to avoid major amputation and reaches complete wound healing of ischemic lesion in the dialysis patient population with PAD-LTI. This study is prospective, Controlled, Parallel, Randomized, Single blind and Multicentric in France (12 French centers).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: the rheopheresis group
|
Rheopheresis is performed using an automated monitor in a double-filtration cascade.
Plasma purify from of high molecular weight proteins through a secondary filter is then returned to the patient.
This technique is performed in tandem with a hemodialysis monitor.
Biological analysis
|
Placebo Comparator: the shamapheresis group
|
Biological analysis
Shamapheresis is performed with the same automated monitor (Plasauto, HemaT company).
Extracted plasma is not treated through the secondary filter (Rheofilter) and return to the patient.
This technique is performed in tandem with a hemodialysis monitor.
