Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a cost effective and safe form of renal replacement therapy in patients suffering from end stage renal disease.

However currently available PDF (peritoneal dialysis fluids) are not biocompatible for the peritoneal cavity and its cells. Acute cytotoxic effects of the majority of the current glucose-based PDF are caused by low pH, lactate, high glucose and its degradation products (GDP).

Toxic effects of PDF can thus be extended to suppression of mesothelial HSR (heat shock reactions) following PDF exposure resulting in increased susceptibility of mesothelial cells against PDF exposure: PDF inherent stress factors fail to adequately induce HSP as effectors of the cellular stress response - the adequate HRS rather seems to be blocked.

Hence, therapeutic approaches to activate and enhance the HSR will reduce peritoneal damage and organ failure and improve the survival of organisms.

Preclinical results demonstrated that supplementation of PDF with pharmacological doses of alanyl-glutamine restored HSP expression and increased the resistance of mesothelial cells in in-vitro models of PD and preserved peritoneal integrity in in-vivo models of PD.

After these positive preclinical results, this study shall now clarify, whether the addition of alanyl-glutamine to the most commonly used glucose-based PDF is safe and tolerable. Therefore PDFs will be drained in a randomized cross-over study. Main outcomes measures will be total HSP expression in peritoneal cells and changes of the peritoneal transport kinetics and the presence/absence/severity of side effects.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm A

Arm A includes 14 patients. In treatment period 1, arm A receives standard PDF with the interventional drug alanyl-glutamine-dipeptide as add-on. As it is a cross-over study design, in treatment period 2, group A receives standard PDF without add-on.

Group Type OTHER

Dipeptiven (Alanyl-glutamine-dipeptide)

Intervention Type DRUG

Two arms (A and B) and two treatment periods (1 and 2) are scheduled for this study. Each arm includes 14 patients. Schedule arm A: Treatment period 1 with one single peritoneal dialysis exchange (standard PD solution) with Alanyl-Glutamine-Dipeptide as add-on. 17,4 ml Dipeptiven (=3,48g N(2)-L Alanyl-L-Glutamin) will be dissolved at a final concentration of 0,174 %(= 8 mmol/l) in 2 liters of Dianeal®PD4 (at PH:5,5; Glucose-Concentration 3,86 %). After a wash out period (28 days + max 7 days), arm A undergoes treatment period 2, that is one single peritoneal dialysis exchange with standard PD solution without Alanyl-Glutamine-Dipeptide. Schedule Arm B: Treatment period 1 with one single peritoneal dialysis exchange with standard PD solution without Alanyl-Glutamine-Dipeptide followed by wash-out. Treatment period 2 for arm B includes one single peritoneal dialysis exchange with standard PD solution with Alanyl-Glutamine-Dipeptide as add-on. Dosages remain exactly the same.

Arm B

Arm B includes 14 patients who in treatment period 1 receive standard PDF without the investigational drug. As it is a cross-over study design, in treatment period 2 arm B receives standard PDF with alanyl-glutamine-dipeptide as add-on.
