EECP for artery stiffness in dialysis patients
This study tests whether a non‑invasive treatment called enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) can help reduce stiffness in the arteries of people on chronic hemodialysis. It may improve heart health and make dialysis more effective.

New drug for anemia from kidney disease on dialysis
This trial tests a new drug called BCD-131 (a biosimilar to Mircera) for treating anemia in people with kidney disease on dialysis. It compares the new drug to the standard treatment to see if it works just as well and is safe.
MinskAges 18–75 - NCT07666815RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exercise and creatine during dialysis for kidney disease
This trial tests if doing exercise while on dialysis and taking creatine can help people with chronic kidney disease. It aims to find a safe and effective way to improve health during treatment.
Colima, ColiimaAges 18 years+ - NCT03083184RecruitingPhase 3
Ethanol lock solution to prevent catheter infections
This Phase 3 study tests whether a medicine-filled “lock” put into a dialysis catheter can lower the risk of infections. It is meant for people on regular dialysis with a tunnelled catheter who already have it in place.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06556407Recruiting
Kidney nerve treatment for high blood pressure in dialysis patients
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation (using radio waves to calm overactive nerves in the kidney) to see if it helps lower blood pressure in people on dialysis who have resistant high blood pressure.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18–99 - NCT06847139Recruiting
Zinc vs. folic acid for high homocysteine in kidney dialysis
This trial tests whether zinc supplements can lower high homocysteine levels better than folic acid in people with chronic kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. It aims to find a simple, safe way to help protect your heart and blood vessels.
ChittagongAges Any age - NCT07123909Recruiting
Immune adsorbent therapy for dialysis patients with inflammation
This study tests a therapy that absorbs inflammatory substances from the blood during dialysis. It may help people on dialysis who have ongoing inflammation, shown by high IL-6 or CRP levels.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07746102Recruiting
Preconditioning therapy for chronic kidney disease patients
This study tests whether repeated brief periods of reduced blood flow (like a gentle squeeze on your arm) can improve how your body handles energy and blood flow. It is designed for people with any stage of chronic kidney disease (G1–G5).
LodzAges 18 years+ - NCT07045064Recruiting
Exercise during dialysis for heart health
This study compares two types of exercise (aerobic vs. resistance training) done during hemodialysis sessions, and looks at how they affect a blood test related to heart disease risk.
Cairo, Select StateAges 40–60 - NCT04721652Recruiting
Track drinking and recovery after hemodialysis sessions
This study looks at how fluid intake after each hemodialysis treatment affects your health. It may help find safer, easier guidance on how much to drink between treatments.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03633708RecruitingPhase 3
Etelcalcetide for children with dialysis-related overactive parathyroid hormone
This trial studies etelcalcetide in children who have chronic kidney disease and too much parathyroid hormone while on hemodialysis. It aims to safely lower the hormone levels and help manage related bone/mineral problems.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–18 years - NCT06873880Recruiting
Nutrition check for hemodialysis patients
This study looks at how well a simple body measurement combined with a blood test can help assess nutrition in people on hemodialysis. It aims to find a better way to check if you're getting enough nutrients.
Tartu, TartuAges 18 years+ - NCT05997875Recruiting
Learning about dialysis access options
This study tests a new way to teach people about hemodialysis and the access (the spot in your arm or leg where the dialysis machine connects). It is for people with advanced kidney disease who are considering hemodialysis and want to learn about their options for vascular access.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06788054Enrolling by invitation
Exercise during dialysis for fitness and survival
This study tests whether adding exercise during your dialysis sessions can improve your physical fitness, body composition, and survival. If you are on hemodialysis and meet the health criteria, you would either exercise while on the machine or receive standard care.
León, GuanajuatoAges 18–50 - NCT07312916Recruiting
Hand massage for itching in kidney dialysis patients
This study tests whether hand massage can help reduce the chronic itching that many people on dialysis experience. It compares two groups to see if massage provides relief and improves quality of life.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT07522944Recruiting

Alexandria, Alexandria GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT05642156Recruiting
Ultrafiltration versus usual dialysis in people on hemodialysis
This study compares a specific way of removing fluid during dialysis (isolated ultrafiltration) with conventional hemodialysis. It aims to see how each approach affects blood flow and fluid shifts in people with end-stage kidney disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic hemodialysis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 56 recruiting chronic hemodialysis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a chronic hemodialysis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a chronic hemodialysis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
