Recruiting studies
- NCT07710183Recruiting

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+ - NCT07643597Recruiting
Managing fluid removal in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury
This study looks at how to safely remove excess fluid from patients in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure and are on a special blood-filtering machine (CRRT). Researchers want to understand which patients have trouble tolerating fluid removal and how to prevent complications.
SalvadorAges 18 years+ - NCT07613632Recruiting
Lung Blood Flow Changes After Vein Graft Repair
This study measures how blood flow and oxygen distribution in your lungs change after a procedure to unclog a dialysis access graft. Researchers use painless electrode patches on your chest to track these changes and better understand how the procedure affects your breathing.
WuhuAges 18 years+ - NCT07570771Recruiting
Dialysis duration effects on bladder function in transplant candidates
This study examines how long you've been on dialysis and how much urine you still produce might affect your bladder's ability to hold and stretch after a kidney transplant. Understanding this helps doctors predict how well your bladder will work after you receive a new kidney.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–65 - NCT06249932RecruitingPhase 4
Empagliflozin for heart failure and end-stage kidney disease
This trial tests whether empagliflozin, a medication for heart failure, can help people who also have end-stage kidney disease and are on dialysis. It aims to see if the drug improves heart function in this group.
Hsinchu, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT06153888Recruiting
Heart strain during dialysis: a study on fluid removal
This study looks at how quickly fluid is removed during dialysis affects the heart. It may help find safer ways to manage fluid removal for people on hemodialysis.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT06249945RecruitingPhase 4
Empagliflozin for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and dialysis
This trial tests whether a medicine called empagliflozin (used for diabetes and heart failure) can help people with both heart failure (with preserved pumping ability) and end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. The study looks at how the drug affects heart function and overall well-being.
HsinchuAges 20 years+ - NCT07561424Recruiting
Comparing different dialysis membrane types for kidney patients
This study compares three types of dialysis filters to see which works best at removing waste from your blood and improving your health outcomes. If you receive regular hemodialysis at a clinic, this trial may help doctors understand which filter type is most effective for you.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07563608Recruiting
Understanding High Blood Pressure in the Lungs for Dialysis Patients
This study investigates why some dialysis patients develop high blood pressure in their lung blood vessels and how it affects their health. Researchers will assess heart function and follow patients over time to better understand this condition.
Pavia, LombardyAges 18–75 - NCT06576479Recruiting
Supplement study for kidney disease and weight loss
This study tests if a special drink can improve nutrition and quality of life in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not on dialysis. It is for those who have lost weight or have poor appetite.
Guadalajara, JaliscoAges 18–90 - NCT07535385Recruiting
Kidney Artery Blocking Treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease
This study follows patients with a genetic kidney disease (autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease) who are on dialysis and receive a procedure to block blood flow to their enlarged kidneys. Researchers will track how well the procedure works and how it affects patients over time using imaging scans.
Pavia, LombardyAges 18–75 - NCT07535320Recruiting
What Dialysis Treatment Do Patients Prefer?
This research study asks patients with advanced kidney disease about their preferences for different dialysis treatment options before starting treatment. Your feedback helps doctors understand what matters most to patients when choosing how to manage their kidney disease.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT07491042Recruiting
A study of SGLT2 inhibitors for people on peritoneal dialysis
This study tests whether a type of diabetes medicine called SGLT2 inhibitors (which help lower blood sugar and protect the kidneys) can benefit people who are on chronic peritoneal dialysis. You may be able to join if you are 13 or older, have some urine output, and do not have certain other health issues.
NizwaAges 13 years+ - NCT07494409RecruitingPhase 3
A new oral medicine for anemia in dialysis patients
This trial tests a new oral medicine (AND017) for people on dialysis who have anemia (low red blood cells). It may help reduce the need for injections of standard anemia medicines.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06233838Recruiting
Hemoperfusion study for kidney patients on dialysis
This trial tests a special blood-filtering treatment (hemoperfusion) for people with advanced kidney disease on regular dialysis. It aims to remove harmful substances that standard dialysis may not fully clear.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07487727RecruitingPhase 3
Study of an experimental anemia drug for chronic kidney disease patients not on dialysis
This trial tests an oral medication (AND017) for anemia caused by chronic kidney disease. It aims to improve red blood cell levels without needing dialysis or current anemia treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06735378Recruiting
Exercise before dialysis to protect the heart
This study tests if doing gentle exercise just before dialysis can help prevent heart damage that sometimes happens during treatment. You may be able to join if you are on long-term dialysis and have not been exercising vigorously.
London, OntarioAges 18–79 - 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+ - NCT07447791Recruiting
Comparing low vs standard dialysis in ICU patients
This trial compares a lower dose versus a standard dose of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT) for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI — sudden kidney failure). It aims to see if lower doses are safe and effective.
London, Greater LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07428395Enrolling by invitation
Monitoring during continuous kidney replacement therapy in the ICU
This study tests a new way to monitor patients while they receive continuous kidney replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) in the ICU. It aims to see if this monitoring can be done safely and smoothly, helping doctors track your treatment better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dialysis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 150 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.
