Recruiting studies
- NCT07236463RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Iron chelator in dialysis fluid for sepsis-related kidney injury
This trial tests if adding an iron chelator (MEX-CD1) to the dialysis fluid can help remove harmful iron from the blood in patients with sepsis-related acute kidney injury who need continuous dialysis. It may reduce damage to the kidneys and other organs.
Nîmes, GardAges 18 years+ - NCT07262320Recruiting
Kidney treatment in Latin American ICUs
This study looks at how dialysis (renal replacement therapy) is used for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) with severe acute kidney injury in Latin America. Your participation can help improve care for people with kidney problems.
CochabambaAges 18 years+ - NCT07269379Recruiting
Exercise during dialysis with blood flow restriction
This study tests whether doing gentle exercise during dialysis with a special cuff that partly limits blood flow can help people on dialysis get stronger and feel better. It might be a good fit if you are on dialysis, not already exercising regularly, and have no serious health conditions that make exercise risky.
StrasbourgAges 20–79 - NCT07309367Recruiting
Web-based advance care planning for dialysis patients
This trial tests a web-based program called 'My Voice' that helps people on dialysis plan ahead for their future care. It's for patients in Singapore who have advanced kidney failure and certain health challenges, and it also involves a family caregiver.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07312981Recruiting
Diet tracking study for advanced kidney disease
This study compares different ways to record what you eat and drink for people with advanced kidney disease. It may help find easier methods for dietary tracking.
Herlev, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT01893710Recruiting
Collecting children and adult belly fluid and tissue for kidney care research
This study collects samples from the belly (related to the peritoneal lining) to build a “biobank” for future research. It may help patients and families by improving understanding of kidney disease and kidney dialysis-related health issues.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 day–90 years - NCT02813642Recruiting
Study of heart risk in people starting dialysis
This study looks at heart (cardiovascular) risk factors in people who are just starting dialysis for chronic kidney failure. It may help doctors better understand what heart-related issues to watch for early during dialysis.
Castelnau-le-LezAges 18–90 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07151742Enrolling by invitation
Exercise during dialysis for muscle health
This study tests whether exercise during hemodialysis can improve muscle oxygen levels and how well dialysis works. It is for people who have been on dialysis for at least a year and have muscle loss (sarcopenia).
Istanbul, KadikoyAges 18–65 - NCT07102667Enrolling by invitation
Protein intake for muscle health in older kidney patients
This study tests how much protein older adults with kidney disease and muscle loss should eat to build or maintain muscle. You will follow a protein plan and do simple resistance exercises to see if it helps your strength.
BangkokAges 65 years+ - NCT06447038Enrolling by invitation
Early detection of chronic kidney disease study
This study is looking for ways to find chronic kidney disease early, before it gets worse. It may help people who are at risk or have early signs of kidney problems.
BurgosAges 18 years+ - NCT05161078Enrolling by invitation
Studies CARPEDIEM care for newborns and babies in participating hospitals
This trial looks at how to improve outcomes for newborns and infants who receive CARPEDIEM as part of routine hospital care. It aims to see whether an interdisciplinary team approach can make treatment safer and more effective.

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.
