Scientific title
Study acronymCare BioBac
Study objectivesShow that safety, handling and efficacy of a new temporary hemodialysis catheter with antibacterial/anti-biofilm coating is equal or superior compared to standard catheters of same type
Ethics approval(s)Primary vote given by Charite, Berlin on 08/03/2004, reference number: 30/2004; secondary votes given by Arztekammer Westfalen-Lippe on 04/05/2004, reference number: 4/134 and Technical University Munich on 02/06/2004, reference number: 1080/04.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedEnd-stage renal disease patients with need for a temporary hemodialysis catheter
InterventionComparison of standard temporary hemodialysis catheter with a new catheter with antibacterial/anti-biofilm coating
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

1. Safety (early removal due to catheter failure)
2. Handling (implantation, removal)
3. Efficacy (hemodialysis blood flow rate, pressure)

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

1. Frequency of exit site and catheter-related bloodstream infections
2. Bacterial growth on the catheter
3. Inflammatory and coagulation parameters in plasma
