Who it lists and where

Who the trial lists, as registered

Lists people of any age. Conditions: Charcoal, Decontamination, Poisoning.

  • Adult and pediatric patients who presented to the hospital less than 6h after the ingestion of a potentially toxic dose of a carbo-adsorbable substance (substance adsorbed by activated charcoal ).
  • Patients who can receive the intervention within 6 hours of proven or suspected intoxication

The exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

Activated Charcoal; No activated charcoal

Registered summary

The goal of this clinical pilot trial is to determine the feasibility of the clinical trial. Then the large-scale CHARPP will be conducted in order to determine the efficacity of activated charcoal as a treatment for acute poisoning in a diverse population of both adults and children suspected of ingesting toxic substances that activated charcoal can adsorb. The full summary is on the listing.

Where, as registered

No US site; Canada (1).

Who it lists and where

Who the trial lists, as registered

Lists people 18 and older. Conditions: End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD); CKD 5D, Hemodialysis; CKD-MBD - Chronic Kidney Disease Mineral and Bone Disorder.

  • Adult aged ≥18 years with ESRD.
  • Patients who had been on stable maintenance hemodialysis (3 times weekly) for at least 6 months.
  • Patients receiving phosphate binders according to standard protocols established by kidney disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO).

The exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

Activated Charcoal; Phosphate Binders

Registered summary

Hyperphosphatemia management is initially based on restricting dietary phosphorus intake. Hyperphosphatemia is almost always seen in patients on dialysis and may contribute to progressive vascular calcification. Considering that activated charcoal is generally well-tolerated and may have a favorable side effect profile compared to conventional phosphate binders, it presents a promising alternative. Until now, no clinical trial has primarily investigated the effect of activated charcoal on hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients.

Where, as registered
