Delivery of Soluble Ferric Pyrophosphate (SFP) Via the Dialysate to Maintain Iron Balance in Hemodialysis Patients
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science, November 2008
Sponsors and Collaborators: Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Information provided by: Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00604565
  Purpose

In maintenance hemodialysis patients, regular administration of parenteral iron by addition of SFP to the dialysate, when compared to conventional dialysate, is effective in preventing the development of iron deficiency, thereby maintaining hemoglobin level; is clinically safe and does not lead to oxidative stress or inflammation.


Condition Intervention
ESRD
Drug: soluble ferric pyrophosphate (SFP)

MedlinePlus related topics: Dialysis Kidney Failure
Drug Information available for: Ferric pyrophosphate Benzocaine
U.S. FDA Resources
Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Supportive Care, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Active Control, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: A Prospective, Randomized, Open-Label, Multi-Center, Controlled Clinical Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of Physiological Iron Maintenance in ESRD Subjects by Delivery of Soluble Ferric Pyrophosphate (SFP) Via Hemodialysate

Further study details as provided by Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • sparing the need for supplemental intravenous iron required to maintain hemoglobin levels. Hemoglobin, Hematology, TSAT,Fe Panel,Chemistry Profile will be obtained [ Time Frame: every 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • compare subjects receiving SFP dialysate versus conventional dialysate with regard to:Hemoglobin,Markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, iron overload or deficiency [ Time Frame: every 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • To compare the two study groups (conventional dialysate versus SFP dialysate) Markers of inflammation and oxidative stress as described in the text. · Acute Oxidative stress/inflammation induced by the first dialysis session. [ Time Frame: every 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 30
Study Start Date: January 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date: October 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
A: Active Comparator Drug: soluble ferric pyrophosphate (SFP)

Subjects will be randomized to undergo dialysis with either Fe-HD (dialysate containing SFP) or C-HD (conventional dialysate lacking SFP) The experimental concentrate containing SFP (Fe-HD)has 95mg of SFP per gallon, or 10.9 mg total iron per gallon (96 µg of SFP per dL or 11 µg of total iron per dL).

Control concentrate lacking SFP (C-HD) does not contain SFP (total iron = 0)


  Eligibility
