A Randomized Trial Examining Plasma Exchange Using the Becton Dickinson (BD) Catheter In an Outpatient Apheresis Unit
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 20-gauge BD Nexiva Diffusics for Plasma Exchange. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a randomized pilot study of therapeutic apheresis procedures (TAP) using the current standard of care catheter (SOC) vs the BD Nexiva Diffusics Catheter. It is a single blinded, randomized study. Data will be used to refine and power a full randomized control trial. For this study, a sample of 33 encounters in each group (total of 66 encounters). The specific aim is to test the hypothesis that the 20-gauge BD Nexiva Diffusics Catheter provides the same efficacy and lower pain level with no increase in adverse events for patients undergoing apheresis treatments.
