Evaluating the safety of Prismocitrate 18 for patients on continuous renal replacement therapy

A Safety Evaluation of Prismocitrate 18 in Patients Receiving Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT)

Phase 3 Interventional Vantive Health LLC · NCT05399537

This study is testing if a new solution called Prismocitrate 18 is safe for patients on a special type of kidney treatment to help prevent blood clots during their therapy.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety of Prismocitrate 18, a solution used in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), specifically for patients undergoing continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) or continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH). The study aims to confirm that the PrisMax System, equipped with regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) software, can safely manage citrate and calcium dosing during CRRT. Participants will receive treatment for up to 10 days, with a focus on preventing blood clotting in the extracorporeal circuit.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who are candidates for CRRT and have contraindications to heparin or an increased risk of hemorrhage.

Not a fit: Patients with known allergies to citrate or those with acute liver failure or refractory shock may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the safety and efficacy of anticoagulation in patients receiving CRRT, potentially leading to better patient outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored citrate anticoagulation in CRRT, indicating a promising approach, but the specific use of Prismocitrate 18 in this context is novel.
