Official title: Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Tinzaparin During Slow Low Efficient Daily Dialysis in Intensive Care Patients

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the pharmacokinetics of tinzaparin during renal replacement therapy (RRT). 60 patients with clinical indication for pharmacological thromboprophylaxis and slow low efficient daily dialysis (SLEDD) will be studied in Tampere University Hospital. All subjects will receive a 4500 IU bolus of tinzaparin. The subjects in study group (n=30) will also receive a 4500 IU continuous infusion of tinzaparin.

Clinical Trial Description

After written informed consent, 60 subjects with clinical indication for pharmacological thromboprophylaxis and SLEDD will be studied in the Tampere University Hospital intensive care unit. After inclusion the subjects will be randomly assigned into study group (30 patients) and control (30 patients). All subjects receive a bolus of tinzaparin 4500 IU into the inlet line of dialyzer at 5 minutes after the start of blood pump. Afterwards the subjects in the study group will continue to receive continuous tinzaparin infusion (concentration 100 IU/ml) 500 IU/h over seven hours. No other heparin product (including arteria flush lines) nor dilution fluids at the dialyzer are allowed during the study period of 24 hours. Each SLEDD treatment will be performed with Cordiax 5008S (Fresenius) for 8 hours. After the study period of 24 hours thromboprophylaxis will be prescribed according to the normal practice in the ICU. The primary outcome measure is plasma anti-FXa concentration at 4 hours from the onset of SLEDD. Plasma Anti-FXa will be drawn at timepoints 0 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours and 24 hours from the onset of the dialysis. The clotting formation in RRT system will be evaluated by clotting scoring. In the case of serious clotting RRT treatment is stopped and the new RRT is started. The study will end to the new RRT. ;
