Brief Summary

In China, the estimated prevalence of patients with ESRD receiving PD or maintenance HD increased from 51.7 per million population (pmp) at the end of 2007 to 79.1 pmp at the end of 2008. Theranova 400 is designed to deliver the performance of hemodiafiltration (HDF) using standard hemodialysis (HD) equipment and treatment mode, including HD machines, disposables, blood and dialysate flows, length of treatment and frequency of treatment. Theranova 400 utilizes a Medium Cut-Off (MCO) membrane with extended permeability for middle solutes to closely modulate the removal function of the kidney without the complexity of HDF. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the Theranova Dialyzer in hemodialysis (HD) mode compared to hemodiafiltration (HDF), using FX 800 in HDF mode. Comparison of the study arms over time will be used to support the safety of Theranova 400 by demonstrating stable serum albumin levels, as well as support the dialyzer's efficacy to significantly remove serum middle molecules.

Study Groups

Theranova 400 Dialyzer

In-center hemodialysis (in HD mode), 3 times a week for 12 week duration. The patient will undergo regular HD treatment on the first treatment of the first week of study, after which, the patient will switch to the randomized dialyzer, from the second treatment to the end of study treatment. Blood sampling will be obtained at the hospital by trained personnel according to local routines.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Theranova 400 Dialyzer

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Dialysis performed in HD mode. Treatment duration for each individual subject will vary based on clinical requirements determined by the Investigator, based on the subject's need, residual renal function, access function, tolerance to HD/HDF and other relevant factors. The participating subjects' HD/HDF prescriptions should be kept stable throughout the study.

FX800

In-center hemodialysis (in HDF mode), 3 times a week for 12 week duration. The patient will undergo regular HD treatment on the first treatment of the first week of study, after which, the patient will switch to the randomized dialyzer, from the second treatment to the end of study treatment. Blood sampling will be obtained at the hospital by trained personnel according to local routines.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

FX800 Dialyzer

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Dialysis performed in HDF mode. Treatment duration for each individual subject will vary based on clinical requirements determined by the Investigator, based on the subject's need, residual renal function, access function, tolerance to HD/HDF and other relevant factors. The participating subjects' HD/HDF prescriptions should be kept stable throughout the study.
