Phase 2 Study of Dialysis Efficiency and Tolerability of Nocturnal Peritoneal Dialysis Solution Containing Glucose Plus L-carnitine
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating L-carnitine for End-Stage Renal Disease. Completed, enrolled 4 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The development of glucose-sparing strategies able to provide an efficacious ultrafiltration profile represents one of the modern goals of peritoneal dialysis therapy. The study hypothesis is to evaluate the possibility to formulate peritoneal dialysis solutions containing L-carnitine as an osmotic agent to partially replace glucose.

Timeline
Interventions
Instillation of glucose-based (1.5% weight/volume) peritoneal dialysis solution containing L-carnitine (0.25% weight/volume) for the nocturnal exchange. Patients were treated with the experimental peritoneal dialysis solution for 5 days.
