Study Summary

This trial will be testing a new dialyzer to see if it causes less symptoms in patients than the current one.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have been on hemodialysis for chronic kidney failure for at least three months and can consent to participate. It's not suitable for those with a life expectancy less than one year, current cancer or infection, or patients already using advanced dialysis methods like Hemodiafiltration.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new Theranova Dialyzer against the standard one used in hemodialysis. The focus is on whether the new dialyzer better removes certain toxins that might cause symptoms affecting quality of life. Patients will report their symptoms through an app called LEVIL.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not detailed here, dialyzers can sometimes cause low blood pressure, muscle cramps, itching, sleep problems, and anemia. The new Theranova Dialyzer may have similar or different side effects based on its design.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
A change in larger middle molecule induced symptoms as assessed by the LEVIL application
Secondary outcome measures
A change in larger middle molecule clearance using the Theranova dialyzer
A change in symptoms with a change in dialyzer (usual to Theranova and vice versa)
Correlation between large middle molecules and patient symptoms
