Study summary

  1. LOCATION OF STUDY: Multicentric study in Brazil.
  2. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: To measure changes in HOMA index when non-diabetic patients in APD were exposed to 7,5% Icodextrin for the long-dwell; and to compare such changes with those produced by 2,5% glucose for the long-dwell.
  3. PRIMARY OUTCOME: The primary efficacy outcome was to measure HOMA index to set the differences with regard to baseline values of this variable for the two groups as well as in each group, which showed control of the glucose metabolism.

STAGE OF THE STUDY : Phase IV postmarket study

DESIGN: Randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients were randomized to receive either to Extraneal (7,5% Icodextrin) or 2.5% Dianeal during the long-dwell.

SAMPLE SIZE: Randomization Upon completion of the study TOTAL: 120 60 ExtranealTM 60 30 Dianeal® 60 30

Duration: 1 year.

1.5 PRIMARY OUTCOME: The primary efficacy outcome was to measure HOMA index to set the differences with regard to baseline values of this variable for the two groups as well as in each group, which showed control of the glucose metabolism.

1.6 SECONDARY OUTCOMES:

1.6.1 Other efficacy outcomes were total UF, long-dwell UF, and preprandial glycemia (taken first in the morning before breakfast), serum insulin levels and glycated haemoglobin.

1.6.2 The incidence of adverse events will be measured as a safety outcome.

1.7 STAGE OF THE STUDY : Phase IV postmarket study

1.8 DESIGN: Randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients were randomized to receive either to Extraneal (7,5% Icodextrin) or 2.5% Dianeal during the long-dwell.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Adjusted HOMA Index Score at 3 Months Using Baseline Values as a Covariate and Groups as the Fixed Factor

    Adjusted HOMA index score at 3 months using baseline values as a covariate and groups as the fixed factor. HOMA index was calculated as follows: (fasting glucose(mg/dl) x fasting serum insulin (μU/mL))/405

    Time frame: 3 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Oral Fasting Serum Glucose

    Serum glucose measured in oral fasting but not peritoneal fasting. For this outcome we compared groups using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) using the baseline values as covariate, groups as the fixed factor and the value obtained at 90 days as the dependent variable. Significance level for alpha was setting at \< 0.05.

    Time frame: 3 months

  2. Serum Insulin

    Serum insulin was log-transformed to meet all criteria for ANCOVA. The baseline value was treated as covariate, groups as the fixed factor and the serum insulin at 3 months as the dependent variable. Serum insulin was measured in oral fasting by chemioluminescense.

    Time frame: 3 months

  3. Glycated Hemoglobin

    Adjusted glycated hemoglobin was obtained and compared between groups using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The baseline values of HbA1c was used as covariate, the groups as the fixed factor and the value obtained at 90 days as the dependent variable. Glycated hemoglobin was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography.

    Time frame: 3 months

  4. Total Ultrafiltration

    Total ultrafiltration obtained in 24 hours was obtained and compared between groups using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The baseline values of total ultrafiltration was used as covariate, the groups as the fixed factor and the value obtained at 90 days as the dependent variable.

    Time frame: 3 months
