About

The goal of this clinical investigation is to asses the safety and efficacy a new sorbent-based hemodialysis device, NeoKidney® in ESRD patients treated with short daily hemodialysis.

Participants (stable SDHD patients) will undergo hemodialysis treatement on the NeoKidney® device at the hospital on a progressive exposition to the device:

• The first week, patient will be treated once with NeoKidney® on Wednesday
• The 2nd week the patient will be treated two consecutive days with NeoKidney® (in the middle of the week)
• On the 3rd week, after approval by the DSMB, the patients will be treated 6 consecutive days, in hospital, with the NeoKidney

All the other sessions will be performed with the patient's usual SDHD device at home except for two sessions prior to NeoKidney® sessions at Week 1 and 2.

Enrollment: 3 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Male or female aged 18 years or over;

2. Treated with short-daily hemodialysis (1.5-3 h sessions) 5-6 times a week for at least 3 months;

3. Estimated Urea removal concentration between [220 to 550] mmol. (Estimation based on the formula: ([Dry Weigh in kg]*] x 0,6)*([) x ([Last pre-dialysis urea concentration in mmol/L]*] x 0,5).

4. Well-functioning vascular access (native fistula or graft or permanent veinous catheter) defined as:

   • Capable of providing a blood flow rate of ≥200 mL/min, AND
   • Absence of vascular access revision for at least 3 months

5. For females of reproducible age, negative urinary pregnancy test and use of appropriate birth control method(s);

6. Ability to understand the informed consent and give informed consent;

7. Willingness and ability to comply with study procedures and to attend all study follow up visits

Exclusion criteria

1. Post-dialysis body weight below 41.0 kg

2. Hb <10.0 g/L, or pre-dialysis [Na] < 132 and > 145 mmol/L, pre-dialysis [K] < 3.5 and > 6 mmol/L and pre-dialysis [HCO3] < 15 and > 30 mmol/L in the latest determination, within the 6 weeks prior to enrollment.

3. One or more pre-dialysis urea concentration <10 mmol/L or >30mmol/L within the 6 weeks prior to enrollment.

4. Subjects requiring UF volume >2.0L per 2hr treatment in any dialysis session within 6 weeks prior to enrollment.

5. Any documented episode of hemolysis within the 6 months prior to enrolment.

6. Any infection related to the vascular access within the 4 weeks prior to enrolment.

7. History of impaired liver function (normal Factor V).

8. Severe uncontrolled arterial hypertension (systolic BP>180mmHg or diastolic BP >104 mmHg).

9. Known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

10. Anticipation of a living donor kidney transplantation within the 2 months of the study period.

11. Pregnant, breast feeding, or planning a pregnancy during the study period.

12. Any known psychosocial problems which may negatively influence dialysis treatment.

13. History of drug and/or alcohol abuse within the last 3 months prior to enrolment.

14. Patients with any serious medical condition which in the opinion of the investigator, may adversely affect the safety of the participant and/or effectiveness of the study

Trial design

Primary purpose: Treatment

Allocation: N/A

Interventional model: Single Group Assignment

Masking: None (Open label)

---

3 participants in 1 patient group

NeoKidney therapy

Experimental group

Description:

Every patient will receive NeoKidney therapy which will be referenced to SDHD sessions with the usual device as their own baseline. The study is designed in a way that allows an incremental increase of the ratio of NeoKidney versus SDHD sessions with the usual device. In order to minimize the study burden to the patient, most SDHD sessions with the usual device will be done in the patient's home. The NeoKidney therapy sessions, and 2 SDHD sessions with the usual device will be performed in the study center, thus ensuring the necessary patient care and observation as well as sample collection.
