Safety study of a new peritoneal dialysis device for kidney patients
This trial tests a new device called WEAKID for people on peritoneal dialysis. It aims to see if the device is safe to use. Participants must have been on PD for at least 3 months and have no recent infections or catheter problems.
Modena, ModenaAges 18 years+ - NCT04392206RecruitingPhase 1
Study paste to prevent narrowing in new arm dialysis fistulas
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment (called AMSCs) to help stop scar-like narrowing at the connection point of a new arm dialysis fistula. If it works and is safe, it could improve long-term fistula function so dialysis can work better.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT06341452Recruiting
Comparing custom salt levels vs. standard care in dialysis
This trial tests if adjusting the salt (sodium) in your dialysis fluid can improve your health. It is for people on dialysis who have trouble with too much fluid gain or high blood pressure between sessions.
Mariánské LázněAges 18 years+ - NCT06367205Recruiting
Fluid and blood pressure management in kidney transplant
This trial tests a way to manage fluids and blood pressure during kidney transplant surgery to see if it improves recovery. It may be an option for people getting a kidney from a deceased donor.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06402851RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinner or none for atrial fibrillation with dialysis
This trial compares two types of blood thinners (vitamin K antagonists and factor Xa inhibitors) versus no blood thinner in people with atrial fibrillation who are on dialysis or have very advanced kidney disease. It aims to see which option is safest and most effective for preventing strokes and bleeds.
Salvador, Estado de BahiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06408077Recruiting
