Testing a new kidney disease drug in patients with kidney failure
This trial tests the safety of a new medicine (MK-2828) in people with advanced kidney disease or on dialysis, and compares them to healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand how the drug works in the body and if it's safe for these patients.
Miami Lakes, FloridaAges 24–85 - NCT05846581Recruiting
Dialysis graft registry for adults getting a new vascular graft
This registry follows adults with kidney failure who need a dialysis access connection in the arm using the GORE ACUSEAL graft. It helps track outcomes and safety over time while you receive standard dialysis care.
BielefeldAges 18 years+ - NCT07754357Enrolling by invitation
Pain block choices for arm surgery
This study compares two numbing methods for arm surgery to see which one works better for pain relief. It might help you have less pain during and after surgery.
AswānAges 18–65 - NCT04360694Recruiting
Testing a step-up hemodialysis schedule for new dialysis patients
This trial studies whether starting hemodialysis in a gradual “step-up” way is safe and works well for adults who are newly starting maintenance dialysis for advanced kidney failure. If you qualify, you may be assigned to a specific dialysis start plan and be closely monitored.
BariAges 18 years+ - NCT04046042Recruiting
Virtual reality during dialysis, comparing first vs last
This trial tests whether using virtual reality during hemodialysis affects how patients feel or do during treatment. It compares using virtual reality at the beginning of the dialysis session versus the end.
Manises, ValenciaAges 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+ - NCT07111260Recruiting
Using a pHA130 filter for 4 hours during dialysis
This study tests a special filter called pHA130 that is used during your regular hemodialysis sessions for a full 4 hours. The purpose is to see if it helps improve your dialysis treatment outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT06483074RecruitingPhase 2
Empagliflozin to preserve kidney function in new peritoneal dialysis patients
This trial tests whether empagliflozin, a medication originally for diabetes, can help protect the remaining kidney function in people who have just started peritoneal dialysis. If you started dialysis within the last 3 months and still make some urine, this study may be a good fit.
Hong KongAges 18–75 - NCT07016841Recruiting
Adding a filter to dialysis to clean your blood better
This study tests whether adding a special filter (hemoperfusion) to your regular hemodialysis can better remove waste products that build up in the blood. It might help people on dialysis feel better and have fewer complications.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07014111Recruiting
Fight Fatigue: muscle relaxation and walking for dialysis patients
This study tests a simple program that combines muscle relaxation exercises and walking to help reduce fatigue in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. You'll receive text messages to guide you and track your progress.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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 - NCT07033273Recruiting
Ultrasound vein test to predict low blood pressure during dialysis
This study uses an ultrasound to check how much your main vein (inferior vena cava) collapses during dialysis. It aims to see if this measurement can help predict drops in blood pressure during treatment, so doctors can better manage your dialysis sessions.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT05671991RecruitingPhase 4
Empagliflozin study for kidney and belly membrane function
This trial tests whether empagliflozin improves kidney health and the function of the belly’s dialysis membrane in people with end-stage kidney disease who do peritoneal dialysis. It may help by changing how well the peritoneal dialysis system works and how the kidneys perform over time.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07201467RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
KN060 for dialysis patients with kidney failure
This study tests an experimental drug called KN060, given to people with end-stage kidney disease on dialysis, to see if it is safe and helps with blood clotting. It may be an option if you are on stable dialysis and not at high risk for bleeding.

Quality of life in children with posterior urethral valves
This study looks at how children with posterior urethral valves (a condition that affects urination) feel about their quality of life as they grow up. It will help doctors understand how these children are doing emotionally and socially, so they can improve care.
Bron, BronAges 6–17 - NCT06708338Recruiting
Bevel direction during dialysis fistula puncture

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for end stage renal disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 153 recruiting end stage renal disease 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 end stage renal disease 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 end stage renal disease 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.
