Evaluation of Integrated Versus Parallel Connection for Renal Replacement

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an extra-corporeal assistance used in case of respiratory or circulatory failure. In case of circulatory failure, ECMO is in the veno-arterial configuration (VA-ECMO). VA-ECMO patients are at high risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI) and renal replacement therapy (RRT) may be needed in 50% of ECMO patients. Although the administration of RRT in ECMO patients has major implications, no specific recommendations are currently available. The 2020 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) international conference identified the evaluation of RRT in these ECMO patients as a research priority. In 2023, the two main configurations used to administer RRT in ECMO patients are an independent delivery on a separate vascular access (parallel connection) or an integration of the RRT machine directly into the ECMO circuit (integrated connection). The integrated connection may reduce infectious and bleeding complications associated with the use of a second vascular access. However, it can expose the hemofilter and circuit to excessive positive pressures that can trigger pressure alarms in the RRT machine and expose the patient to a theoretical risk of air embolism or hemolysis. Furthermore, there is currently no robust data comparing the hemofilter lifespan with the parallel or with the integrated connection, although the filter lifespan is a crucial parameter to assess the quality of the RRT delivery in the ICU. The investigators recently performed a survey of practices in this context of ECMO patients. The investigators found that both strategies (parallel and integrated connection) are widely used and can be seen as common patient care. The hypothesis tested in this study is the following: when RRT is integrated to the ECMO circuit, the hemofilter lifespan is non inferior to the one when RRT is delivered on a separate vascular access. Only VA-ECMO patients will be enrolled in this trial.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
