Study summary

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.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    NeoKidney therapy

    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.

    Device: NeoKidney

Interventions

  • DeviceNeoKidney

    Progressive exposition to NeoKidney device starting with only one NeoKidney therapy on a mid-week day and 5 SDHD sessions with the usual device in week one, followed by 2 NeoKidney therapies and 4 SDHD sessions with the usual device in week 2, and only progressing to a full week on NeoKidney after a safety review.
