Brief Summary

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

Comparison of the clinical performance and the hemocompatibility profile of different high-flux dialyzers, all applied during post-dilution online hemodiafiltration

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of this study is to test whether the hemodialyzer FX CorAL 600 (applied during post-dilution online hemodiafiltration) is non-inferior or superior to the comparator hemodialyzers FX CorDiax 600 and xevonta Hi 15 in removing ß2-microglobulin.

The secondary objectives of this study are:

* To compare the FX CorAL 600 dialyzer with the comparator hemodialyzers FX CorDiax 600 and xevonta Hi 15 regarding their efficacies in removing other uremic toxins.
* To compare the FX CorAL 600 dialyzer with the comparator hemodialyzers FX CorDiax 600 and xevonta Hi 15 regarding their hemocompatibility profiles.

Study Groups

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

Hemodiafiltration HDF

Three consecutive treatment periods of four weeks, one last study week where the patient is re-assigned to the same type of dialyzer used before beginning the study and one follow-up week per patient. Each treatment period includes 12 hemodiafiltration HDF sessions and is assigned to one type of dialyzer: FX CorAL 600 Fresenius Medical Care, comparator FX CorDiax 600 Fresenius Medical Care and comparator xevonta Hi 15 (B. Braun).

Group Type OTHER

Dialyser

Intervention Type DEVICE

Three consecutive treatment periods of four weeks, one last study week where the patient is re-assigned to the same type of dialyzer used before beginning the study and one follow-up week per patient. Each treatment period includes 12 hemodiafiltration HDF sessions and is assigned to one type of dialyzer: FX CorAL 600 Fresenius Medical Care, comparator FX CorDiax 600 Fresenius Medical Care and comparator xevonta Hi 15 (B. Braun).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

General:

* Minimum age of 18 years
* Existing informed consent form signed and dated by study patient as well as investigator/authorized physician
* The patient is legally competent and able to understand the nature, risks, meaning, and consequences of the clinical trial and can subsequently declare her/his consent for participation in the clinical trial (cf. European Medical Device Directive and corresponding national regulations)
* Patients with a chronic kidney disease stage 5D (end stage renal disease with a glomerular filtration rate of 15 ml/min or less) on hemodiafiltration as extracorporeal renal replacement therapy

Study-specific:

* On online post-dilution hemodiafiltration (HDF), at least 4 h treatment time thrice weekly with FX or FX CorDiax dialyzer ≥ 1 month
* Vascular access (fistula or graft) which enables blood flow rate ≥ 300 ml/min

Exclusion Criteria

General:

* Any condition which could interfere with the patient's ability to comply with the study. This decision is at the discretion of the treating physician and relates to the general stable condition of the patient (e.g. any acute condition, e.g. infection or mental problem which might give reason for concern etc.)
* Ongoing participation in an interventional clinical study during the preceding 30 days
* Previous participation in this study
* Pregnancy (pregnancy test will be conducted at start and end of study with female patients aged \< 55 years) or lactation period
* Patient is not able to give informed consent according to the European Medical Device Directive and corresponding national regulations

Study-specific:

* Recurrent episodes of vascular access failure characterized by e.g. repeated cannulation problems or unstable blood flows within the last 2 months prior to study start (\>3 times, respectively)
* Repeated single needle treatments (\>3 times within the last 2 months prior to study start)
* Catheter as vascular access
* Unstable patients (due to e.g. acute intercurrent disease like cardiovascular infarction, decompensated heart failure, cerebrovascular accident, severe infection, active malignant disease)
* Patients with NYHA ≥ 3, COPD (GOLD 2-4), frequent intradialytic symptomatic hypotension
* Patients with known or suspected allergy to trial product and related products
* Patients with known inborn or acquired deficiencies of the innate and/or adaptive immune system
* Patients with acute (use within last 4 weeks) and/or chronic immunosuppressive medication e.g. due to immune-mediated disease including autoimmune diseases, transplantation, or cancer (oral and systemic corticosteroids, calcineurin and mTOR-inhibitors, immunosuppressive monoclonal antibodies, cytotoxic chemotherapy)
* Planned absence from dialysis unit within the 14 weeks of study duration e.g. due to scheduled hospitalization, holidays or any other reason
* Active HBV, HCV, HIV, SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as any other febrile illness
* Reported SARS-CoV-2 infection with or without symptoms within the 12 weeks before inclusion into the study
* Unwillingness to undergo repeated SARS-CoV-2 infection testing
