Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single-centre, non-randomised, prospective study to assess the safety of the MediSieve blood filtration system in healthy volunteers

Description:

The MediSieve Magnetic Haemofiltration System (MMHS) is a system to filter selected moieties from blood in an extracorporeal circuit by magnetic means. Initially, it is developed for the treatment of severe malaria to capture malaria-infected erythrocytes (who are weakly magnetic) to reduce the parasitaemia. However, the use of MMHS can be extended, with the use of antibodies coupled to magnetic beads, to other diseases, such as sepsis. The MMHS has to be used first in healthy volunteers to determine its clinical safety. To this end, 6 healthy male and female volunteers (ratio 1:1) will undergo blood filtration using the MediSieve Magnetic Haemofiltration System (without magnetic beads) for five consecutive hours. Vital signs will be continuously monitored and blood samples will be obtained serially to determine laboratory safety and immunological parameters. Furthermore, volunteers will have two follow up visits at 24 hours and 7 days post filtration.

Intervention

Device:
• MediSieve Magnetic Haemofiltration System
The MediSieve Magnetic Haemofiltration System is a medical device intended for use in extracorporeal clinical procedures to remove magnetic targets (e.g. malaria infected red blood cells) from a patient's bloodstream. Healthy volunteers will undergo filtration for 5 hours.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Safety (Adverse events)	Incidence of (serious) adverse events and device deficiencies during haemofiltration until 7 days post-filtration	Continuously starting from 2 hours prior of the start of haemofiltration until 7 days post-filtration
Secondary	Safety (Blood pressure)	Systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure will be measured continuously using a radial artery catheter.	From 2 hours prior until 7 hours after start of haemofiltration.
Secondary	Safety (Heart rate)	Heart rate will be recorded continuously using a 3-lead ECG.	Continuously from 2 hours prior until 7 hours after start of haemofiltration.
Secondary	Safety (Temperature)	Body temperature will be assessed by using tympanic temperature measurements.	Every 30 minutes from 2 hours prior until 7 hours after start of haemofiltration.
Secondary	Safety (Symptoms)	Clinical symptoms will be scored on a Likert scale (ranging from 0 to 5) in a composite endpoint consisting of headache, nausea, shivering, muscle soreness and lower back pain. Higher numbers indicate more severe symptoms.	Every 30 minutes from 2 hours prior until 7 hours after start of haemofiltration.
