Session Description
LOCK-IT-100: LOCK-IT-100, a multicenter, double-blind, active controlled trial randomized 805 hemodialysis (HD) patients using tunneled dialysis catheters at 70 US sites to compare Neutrolin® (an antimicrobial catheter lock solution containing taurolidine 1.35%, citrate 3.5%, & heparin 1000 U/mL) with heparin (1000 U/ml) for efficacy and safety in reducing catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSIs) in HD patients. The trial was terminated early for efficacy by the Data Safety Monitoring Board, based on a 72% reduction in the risk of CRBSI by Neutrolin® compared to heparin, with no safety concerns identified. The LOCK-IT-100 trial demonstrated reduced risk of CRBSIs, a major cause of preventable hospitalizations, antibiotic use, healthcare costs, and excess mortality in HD.
Objectives
Discuss the results of LOCK-IT-100, a landmark randomized, controlled trial of an investigational catheter lock solution containing taurolidine, which demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in patients on hemodialysis.
