First New Device Trial Completed for Home Hemodialysis In 15 Years

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Outset Medical, a commercial-stage company delivering first-of-its-kind technology into the growing, global, dialysis market today announced publication of a multicenter, prospective, open-label study in Hemodialysis International.  Titled "Safety and Efficacy of the Tablo Hemodialysis System for In-center and In-home hemodialysis," the 30-patient study met both the safety and efficacy endpoints.  Tablo is currently FDA-cleared for use in hospitals and clinics and is under evaluation by FDA for use in the home.

​Over 21 consecutive weeks, patients went through four treatment periods in which hemodialysis was prescribed four times weekly:  one-week Run-In; eight-week In-Center; four-week Transition; eight-week In-Home.  The data showed a mean weekly standard Kt/V ≥ 2.8 for participants during the In-Center and In-Home treatment periods (compared to the trial endpoint of a standard Kt/V ≥ 2.1) and delivered ultrafiltration (UF) within 10% of prescribed UF.  There were no device-related pre-specified adverse events throughout the trial.  All patients who started the home arm with Tablo completed it, resulting in a 0% home arm drop-out rate.
