Brief summary
Background: Poor flow (PF) and catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI) are highly prevalent among CKD 5D patients with long-term central venous catheters. Heparin (H) catheter lock solutions are commonly used to maintain catheter patency, however PF and CRBSI incidence remains high. The purpose of this study was to evaluate two lock solutions on reduction of PF and CRBSI: one, a lock solution combining of the tetracycline antibiotic minocycline with the anticoagulant/chelation agent EDTA (M-EDTA) versus H; and other, trisodium citrate (C) versus H. M-EDTA and C were also evaluated as to their safety versus H. Methods:As regards the pilot project, thirty CKD 5D patients on high-efficiency hemodialysis (blood flow rate = 350 ml/min) at the Integrated Centre of Nephrology (Guarulhos, Brazil) were randomized 1:1:1 to receive M-EDTA, C or H locks for 15 weeks. Lock solutions concentrations were M-EDTA 30 mg/ml/3 mg/ml, C 30% (C) and H 1,000 U/ml and both investigators and patients were blinded to treatment allocation. The primary end-point was a 10% reduction in HD blood flow rates (35ml). The frequency of CRBSI was recorded. Bleeding and lock solution-related adverse events were the primary safety end points. Logistic Regression was performed to evaluate differences in PF rates among the treatments (SPSS version 13.0, IBM, USA). Based upon the pilot-study data, the clinical trials has being executed in order to verify whether the three lock solutions have the same performance or not.
Detailed description
Methods: 75 CKD 5D patients on high-efficiency hemodialysis (blood flow rate = 350 ml/min) at the Integrated Centre of Nephrology (Guarulhos, Brazil) will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive M-EDTA, C or H locks for 15 weeks. Lock solutions concentrations are M-EDTA 30 mg/ml/3 mg/ml, C 30% (C) and H 1,000 U/ml and both investigators and patients are blinded to treatment allocation. The primary end-point is a 10% reduction in HD blood flow rates (35ml). The frequency of CRBSI will be recorded. Poor Flow Rate (event/1,000 catheter-day) and CRBSI Rate (event/1,000 catheter-day) will be calculated in each arm. Bleeding and lock solution-related adverse events are also the primary safety end points and their rates (events/1,000 catheter-day) will be calculated. Logistic Regression will be performed to evaluate differences in PF, CRBSI, Bleeding and lock solution-related adverse events rates among the treatments (SPSS version 13.0, IBM, USA).
