Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Symptoms and systemic ionized calcium level
Up to 1 month

Defined as a symptomatic episode of delirium, coma, nausea, vomiting, constipation, muscle weakness, hypertension, bradycardia, deemed attributable to hypercalcemia with a confirmed systemic ionized calcium \> 1.5mmol/L.

Arterial pH measure and bicarbonate level
Up to 1 month

Arterial pH \> 7.55 and bicarbonate \> 30 mmol/L in the absence of exogenous bicarbonate administered

Serum sodium (Na) level
Up to 1 month

Serum sodium (Na) level \> 150 mmol/L and \> 5 mmol/L rise in systemic Na above the prescribed CRRT fluids. Na level in the absence of hypertonic intravenous Na infusion

Drop in hemoglobin (Hgb)
Up to 1 month

Bleeding resulting in more than 2 g/dL drop in hemoglobin (Hgb) in 24-hour period or need for transfusion

Symptoms and total-to-ionized calcium ratio
Up to 1 month

Patients with impaired citrate metabolism or citrate overdose can exhibit citrate accumulation. Symptomatic citrate accumulation presents with symptoms of tetany/spasms, seizures, systemic hypocoagulability, hypotension, or cardiac events; and should be confirmed with: 1. A total-to-ionized calcium ratio \> 2.5; OR 2. A total-to-ionized calcium ratio greater than 2.25 together with one or more of the following criteria: 1. an increase in calcium supplementation, 2. decreasing systemic ionized calcium, and 3. metabolic acidosis. When a clinical presentation is possibly associated with an abnormal concentration of systemic ionized calcium or an altered acid-base balance, the labs ({Calcium: systemic ionized calcium, post-filter ionized calcium and total calcium}, bicarbonate, sodium, potassium, magnesium, phosphate) should be checked immediately.

Frequently asked questions about Dialysis

What is Dialysis used for in Acute Kidney Injury?

Dialysis is an extracorporeal blood purification therapy used in Acute Kidney Injury to remove waste products and excess fluid when the kidneys can no longer perform these functions. It is being studied as a treatment for patients with Acute Kidney Injury and End-Stage Renal Disease, with the goal of providing renal replacement support.

Who makes Dialysis?

Dialysis is developed by Fresenius Medical Care AG, a company publicly traded under the ticker symbol FMS. Fresenius Medical Care is a global healthcare company specializing in kidney care, including dialysis products and services.

What phase is Dialysis in?

Dialysis is currently in Phase 3 clinical development as an investigational therapy for Acute Kidney Injury. It is not yet approved by regulatory authorities and remains under investigation in an active clinical trial.

What clinical trials is Dialysis in?

Dialysis is being evaluated in the SARCA Study (NCT05339139), a Phase 3 trial titled 'SAfety of Regional Citrate Anticoagulation'. This single-center, uncontrolled study is recruiting 50 participants aged 18 and older in the United States with Acute Kidney Injury or End-Stage Renal Disease.

Is Dialysis a randomized or blinded trial?

The Phase 3 clinical trial of Dialysis, NCT05339139, is neither randomized nor double-blind. It is an uncontrolled study, meaning there is no comparator arm, and both patients and investigators are aware of the treatment being administered.
