Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07012499Enrolling by invitation
Remote monitoring for home dialysis patients
This trial tests a remote monitoring system for people on automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) at home. It aims to see if this technology improves quality of life and mental health.
Wŏnju, KangwondoAges 18 years+ - NCT06906835Recruiting
Comparing two blood tests to guide iron treatment in dialysis patients
This trial tests whether a new blood test (reticulocyte hemoglobin) is better than the usual iron test (transferrin saturation) for guiding when to give iron to people on dialysis. If you have anemia (low red blood cells) from kidney disease, this study may help doctors find the best way to treat your iron levels.
Pathumwan, BangkokAges 18–80 - NCT05874674Recruiting
Testing nafamostat to reduce bleeding risk during dialysis
This pilot study tests whether nafamostat is safe for people on hemodialysis who have a high risk of bleeding. It may help clinicians find safer ways to manage blood clotting medicines during dialysis.
Wŏnju, KangwondoAges 18–99 - NCT06040281Recruiting
Smart and fit for kidney transplant
This trial tests if a smartphone app can help people on dialysis get ready for a kidney transplant. You'll get support with exercise, nutrition, and emotional health.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07653711Recruiting
Coated aldehyde oxystarch for reducing toxins in kidney failure
This trial tests a new oral medication, coated aldehyde oxystarch, for people on dialysis. It aims to lower certain waste products in the blood that are hard to remove with standard dialysis, which may help reduce long-term complications.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06550479Recruiting
Comparing three types of arm fistulas for dialysis
This trial compares three types of surgical connections (fistulas) between an artery and a vein in the arm, used for dialysis. It looks at which type works best for people with advanced kidney disease who need a new access point for dialysis.
WroclawAges 18 years+ - NCT05490225Recruiting
Test device to make dialysis fistulas easier to stick safely
This trial tests a small implant device that can make dialysis fistulas easier to access with needles when normal needle access is too difficult or risky. It may help reduce painful failed attempts and needle-related complications for people with certain types of fistulas.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06794216Recruiting
Comparing dialysis methods to clean blood in kidney failure
This study compares different types of dialysis to see which removes waste products (uremic toxins) best from the blood. If you have been on dialysis for at least 6 months and use the same filter for a year, this trial may help find a better way to clean your blood.
Bologna, Emilia-RomagnaAges 18 years+ - NCT06153888Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dialysis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 163 recruiting dialysis 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 dialysis 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 dialysis 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.
