Popis: Background Dialyzers should be designed to efficiently eliminate uraemic toxins during dialysis treatment, given that the accumulation of small and middle molecular weight uraemic solutes is associated with increased mortality risk of patients with end-stage renal disease. In the present study we investigated the novel FX CorAL dialyzer with a modified membrane surface for performance during online hemodiafiltration (HDF) in a clinical setting. Methods comPERFORM was a prospective, open, controlled, multicentric, interventional, crossover study with randomized treatment sequences. It randomized stable patients receiving regular post-dilution online HDF to FX CorAL 600 (Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland), xevonta Hi 15 (B. Braun) and ELISIO 150H (Nipro) each for 1 week. The primary outcome was β2-m removal rate (β2-m RR) during online HDF. Secondary endpoints were RR and/or clearance of β2-m and other molecules. Albumin removal over time was an exploratory endpoint. Non-inferiority and superiority of FX CorAL 600 versus comparators were tested. Results Fifty-two patients were included and analysed. FX CorAL 600 showed the highest β2-m RR (75.47%), followed by xevonta Hi 15 (74.01%) and ELISIO 150H (72.70%). Superiority to its comparators was statistically significant (P = 0.0216 and P Conclusions FX CorAL 600 efficiently removed middle and small molecules and was superior to the two comparators in β2-m RR. Albumin sieving kinetics point to reduced formation of a secondary membrane.
