Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Clearance of p-Cresyl sulfate during hemodialysis. Dialysis clearance is defined as follows: Clairance = Qd X (C dialysate/C arterial) Calculated over 240 minutes with Qd corresponding to dialysate flow rate, C dialysate uremic toxin total concentration in dialysate, C arterial uremic toxin total concentration in blood taken from the arterial port of the dialyzer.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Dialysis clearance defined by formula: Clearance = Qd × (C dialysate / C arterial); calculated over 240 minutes with Qd = dialysate flow rate, C_dialysate = total uremic toxin concentration in dialysate, C_arterial = total uremic toxin concentration in arterial blood from the dialyzer."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- The fraction of p-CS reduction during the hemodialysis session. The reduction fraction (RF) will be calculated according to the formula: RF (%) = ( Total concentration (t=0 min) - Total concentration (t=240 min ))/Total concentration (t= 0 min) (arterial C)","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Reduction fraction RF (%) = (Total concentration at t=0 - Total concentration at t=240) / Total concentration at t=0 (arterial concentration)."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Clearance and reduction fraction (over 240 minutes) of other protein-bound uremic toxins during the hemodialysis session: indoxyl sulfate, hippuric acid, p-cresyl glucuronide, 3-indole acetic acid, uric acid and 3-carboxy-4-methyl-5propyl-furanpro-pionic acid.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Clearance and reduction fraction calculated over 240 minutes for listed protein-bound uremic toxins (measured arterial concentrations and dialysate concentrations as applicable)."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Tolerance: % of patients with at least one of the following adverse events: nausea, vomiting or headache during the session.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Proportion of patients experiencing ≥1 of specified adverse events (nausea, vomiting, headache) during the hemodialysis session."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Safety: % of patients with one of the following events: triglyceridemia > 4 g/L or 4.6 mmol/L at the end of the session, alteration in liver balance (ALT, ASAT, gamma GT, PAL, total bilirubin) or significant hemolysis during follow-up.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Proportion of patients meeting any listed laboratory safety criteria (triglycerides threshold, liver enzyme/bilirubin abnormalities) or significant hemolysis during follow-up."}
