Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Larger pore haemodialysis membrane
Other interventions - Standard haemodialysis membrane

Experimental: A - New larger pore membrane

Active comparator: B - Standard haemodialysis membrane


Other interventions: Larger pore haemodialysis membrane
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.

Other interventions: Standard haemodialysis membrane
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.
