First-in-Human Experience With Peritoneal Direct Sodium Removal Using a Zero-Sodium Solution: A New Candidate Therapy for Volume Overload

CirculationPublished Randomised crossover trial with preclinical porcine experiments

Authors' conclusion

DSR was well tolerated in both animals and human subjects and produced substantially greater sodium removal than standard PD solution.

Study context

Population
Patients with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis; preclinical porcine experiments
Comparison
DSR solution vs standard peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution
Primary endpoint
Completion of the 2-hour dwell without significant discomfort or adverse events
Follow-up
2 hours
Methodological detailsfirst-in-human proof of concept
  • First-in-human proof of concept

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Completion of 2-hour dwell without significant discomfort or adverse events
  • DSR solution well tolerated and not associated with significant discomfort or adverse events

Secondary outcomes

Sodium removal (human) · 2 hours

P < 0.0001

Sodium removal, porcine (1 L DSR) · 2 hours
4.1 · ± 0.4 · g
Sodium removal, porcine (1 L DSR) — Increasing DSR volume increased sodium removal and substantially decreased plasma volume
P=0.005
Sodium removal, porcine (1 L DSR) — Sodium removal ≈4 times greater in experimental heart failure (HF) with elevated right atrial pressure than in healthy animals
P<0.001

Safety

Plasma electrolytes and off-target solute removal (human)

Plasma electrolytes stable; off-target solute removal negligible
