About this trial
The study aims to provide the pharmacokinetics profiles of single- and double-dose icodextrin in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). It may expand the available knowledge of the clinical pharmacology of icodextrin following its intraperitoneal administration and fills the gaps in our understanding of the fate of icodextrin and the metabolic consequences of icodextrin and its metabolites.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients with end stage renal disease, receiving peritoneal dialysis for > 3 months, and clinically stable.
Suitable for 4 exchanges of manual peritoneal dialysis on the first study day.
Disqualifiers
History of allergic reaction to icodextrin dialysis solution or corn starch;
With malignant tumor receiving radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, active hepatitis or hepatic failure, active autoimmune disease, severe digestive malabsorption or an eating disorder, or HIV/AIDS;
Acute systemic infection, peritonitis, catheter-related infection, cardiovascular disease, surgery, or trauma in the previous one month;
A high probability of receiving a kidney transplant or transferring to hemodialysis or drop-out due to socioeconomic causes within 1 months;

Treatments tested in this trial
Icodextrin
DrugEligible participants were admitted to the hosptial ward and used one icodextrin bag (single-dose icodextrin) or two icodextrin bags (double-dose icodextrin) on the first day, depending on their choice. Each icodextrin solution was left in the peritoneal cavity for a 8-hour dwell. The double-dose icodextrin was administered in a sequential way. After the icodextrin exchange(s), the solution was drained from the peritoneal cavity and the patients resumed dialysis using dextrose dialysate with two or three additional manual exchanges performed for the balance of the 24 hours since the icodextrin dwell was initiated. Patients were discharged and requested to return on days 7 and 14. Blood, urine and dialysate samples are collected at the time-points as required. Icodextrin and metabolites were analyzed and the pharmacokinetics profiles of single- and double-dose icodextrin were provided.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Peak concentration (Cmax)
The maximum serum concentration of icodextrin that occurs after administration.
Peak time (Tmax)
Time (hours) to achieve the maximum serum concentration.
Area under the concentration-time curve(AUC)
AUC based on icodextrin serum concentrations.
Elimination half life(t1/2)
How long it takes for blood levels to drop by half. This parameter directly reflects the rate at which the drug is eliminated from the body.
Secondary outcomes
Adverse Events
Any adverse events throughout entirety of study as assessed by physician investigator
