Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Percent of Successful HD Sessions20 HD sessions (up to 4 hours)

A successful HD session is defined in terms of efficacy of the drug where the HD session had completed as planned: there was no premature termination due to Grade 3 or 4 clotting or saline flush to prevent the loss of the extracorporeal circuit due to clotting; it was not possible to return the participant's blood or assess the exact extent of clotting. HD sessions which terminated prematurely due to Grade 1 or 2 clotting, safety event, machine failure, or access site displacement were excluded from the analysis. The point estimate and 95% CI were computed based on generalized estimating equation (GEE) model for clustered binomial data.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Percent of HD Sessions With an Acceptable Dose20 HD sessions (up to 4 hours)

A HD session with an acceptable dose is defined in terms of efficacy of the drug: an HD session for which the dose at the next HD session did not need to be changed due to Grade 3 or 4 clotting, bleeding, access compression time \> 10 minutes, or other clinical event. The point estimate and 95% CI were computed based on GEE model for clustered binomial.
