Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

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

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Prevalent patients undergoing extended hours / home based therapy :
Haemodialysis (>6hour treatment at a frequency of alternate nightly or greater = >20hrs treatment/week) OR peritoneal dialysis (conventional ambulatory peritoneal dialysis or overnight automated peritoneal dialysis). Patients must be established on therapy for at least 3 months. Patients will be observed over one dialysis treatment and subsequent interdialytic period.

Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 292873 0
Systolic Hypertension as defined by SBP >160mmHg by brachial cuff measurement on the non-vascular access arm.
Timepoint [1] 292873 0
Assessed at incident treatment period through the Intra and Interdialytic timeframes. Intradialytic timepoints are pre & post dialysis, with hourly measures in-between. Interdialytic timepoints as assessed by ambulatory (brachial) monitoring at 30 minute daytime cycles and hourly overnight. Patients will be established on therapy for >3months at time of study. Patients will be observed over one dialysis treatment and subsequent interdialytic period (~44 hours)
Secondary outcome [1] 309848 0
Blood Pressure Variability as defined by standard deviation of the cumulative systolic pressure readings from noninvasive brachial cuff measures.
Timepoint [1] 309848 0
Assessed at incident treatment period through the Intra and Interdialytic timeframes. Intradialytic timepoints are pre & post dialysis, with hourly measures in-between. Interdialytic timepoints as assessed by ambulatory (brachial) monitoring at 30 minute daytime cycles and hourly overnight.Patients will be established on therapy for >3months at time of study. Patients will be observed over one dialysis treatment and subsequent interdialytic period (~44 hours)

Summary
Brief summary
To date no prospective study has been undertaken to investigate the effect of haemodialysis dose delivery on the epidemiology and biological effect of blood pressure variability. This study represents the first comparative investigation between peritoneal dialysis, extended-hours
haemodialysis and conventional thrice-weekly satellite therapy, with the expectation of objectively demonstrating smoother and better control of blood pressure using home-based therapies. This study hypothesises that patients undergoing therapies with high-dose dialysis achieve better control of blood pressure with less time spent in hypertensive ranges and less blood pressure variability than patients undergoing conventional thrice-weekly satellite haemodialysis
