Prospective, Multicentre, Randomized, Controlled, Cross-over Study on the Safety and Performance of the Biologic Fusion Option of DialogiQ Compared to Haemodialysis Without Biologic Fusion in Hypotension Prone Patients on Maintenance Haemodialysis
The goal of this prospective, randomized, controlled, cross-over, multicentric study is to demonstrate the safety of bioLogic Fusion in patients on chronic haemodialysis or hemodiafiltration prone to hypotensive episodes. The main question it aims to answer is: • Which is the number and percentage of individual sessions with reached prescribed post-dialysis body weight in the prescribed treatment time in each single session in hypotensive-prone patients on high-flux haemodialysis or hemodiafiltration within each patient with treatments performed with DialogiQ with (treatment A) or without (treatment B) the bioLogic Fusion option activated? Participants will in addition to their routine dialysis treatment undergo 2 physical examinations and regularly answer questionnaires. A crossover design is used to compare treatments with or without the BioLogic Fusion function activated.
• Male or female subjects ≥18 years of age
• Chronic bicarbonate standard high-flux haemodialysis or hemodiafiltration for at least 3 months
• Dialysis frequency 3 x per week
• Dialysis duration per session ≥ 4h
• Patient on chronic haemodialysis or hemodiafiltration prone to hypotensive episodes
• No residual renal function (definition: ≤100 ml urine/day) - changed to No to minimal residual renal function (definition: ≤ 300 ml/day) with Amendment 1 (CIP version 6)
• Stable dry body weight for at least 4 weeks
• Subjects who are willing to give a voluntary consent to participate in the study
