- NCT06001827Recruiting
Study of a wrap to help new dialysis access points heal
This trial tests a special wrap placed around a new arm access point for dialysis (called an AV fistula) to see if it helps the access stay healthy and work better. It is for people who need a new AV fistula for kidney dialysis.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06516653Recruiting
Study of VasQ implant for new dialysis fistula support
This study tests a small mesh support called VasQ that is placed around your new fistula to help it heal and stay open longer. It is for people who are getting a new fistula for dialysis access.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06494631Enrolling by invitation
New Graft for Dialysis Access in Kidney Failure
This study tests a new type of graft (aXess) for dialysis access in people with kidney failure who cannot get a fistula. The graft is placed in the arm to help with blood flow during dialysis.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06056102RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy to help highly sensitized kidney transplant patients
This trial tests whether a special immune cell treatment (CAR-T cells) can lower the antibodies that make it very hard for you to receive a kidney transplant. If it works, you might become eligible for a transplant sooner.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT07211035Recruiting
Study of a device to help create a working dialysis access
This study tests a device that widens your vein before creating the connection used for dialysis. The goal is to help the access mature faster and work better for your treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05931276RecruitingPhase 3
Beta blocker choice may improve heart outcomes on dialysis
This phase 3 study tests whether a specific beta blocker selection on hemodialysis can improve cardiovascular outcomes. It focuses on certain beta blockers commonly used through the VA pharmacy and compares them in a randomized way.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05786443RecruitingPhase 2
Empagliflozin test in adults on regular dialysis
This study tests whether the medicine empagliflozin is safe and helpful for adults who are on regular hemodialysis and still make a small amount of urine. The goal is to see if it can improve health outcomes while tracking side effects closely.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03032835Recruiting
Research study for calciphylaxis skin lesions
This study collects and stores information from people with calciphylaxis, a serious condition that causes painful skin lesions. It may help researchers learn more about the disease and improve future care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04580420RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an oxalate-lowering medicine for PH1 and kidney failure
This Phase 2 study tests a medicine called DCR-PHXC to lower body oxalate levels in people with PH1 who have advanced kidney failure. By lowering oxalate, the treatment may reduce harm from oxalate buildup and help researchers understand safety and effectiveness.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT04671771Recruiting
Testing a new graft for hemodialysis access in kidney failure
This study tests whether an “AV graft” implant works safely and well for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. It may help your dialysis access last and work better, compared with current expectations for AV grafts.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT04399941Recruiting
Ultrasound inside the blood vessel for dialysis access issues
This trial tests a special type of ultrasound placed inside a blood vessel to better understand problems with dialysis access. It may help doctors find the cause of access malfunction during your diagnostic fistulogram.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT06190717Recruiting
Ultrasound implant to help dialysis fistula mature
This study tests whether a special ultrasound implant (EchoMark) helps a new dialysis fistula mature properly. It involves people with advanced kidney disease who are starting or already on dialysis and are having a fistula created in the upper arm.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–84 - NCT05738330Recruiting
Symptom reporting during hemodialysis care
This study looks at how well a new phone or computer system can help people on hemodialysis report their symptoms. It may improve symptom tracking so clinics can better understand and respond to what you feel during treatment.
Waltham, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04634916Recruiting
Check how a dialysis fistula device performs in real life
This study monitors how well the BD WavelinQ endoAVF device works after routine clinical use. It may help people who need a dialysis access fistula by sharing real-world safety and performance data.

What taking part in a end stage renal disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
