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+ - NCT07747012Recruiting
Nurse-led program to ease dialysis distress
This study tests a nurse-led program to help people on hemodialysis manage stress and improve their well-being. It may help you feel more in control of your treatment and daily life.
SimavAges 18 years+ - NCT07512895Recruiting
Muscle Relaxation Exercises for Depression and Fatigue in Dialysis Patients
This study tests whether guided muscle relaxation exercises can reduce depression and tiredness in people undergoing hemodialysis (a blood-filtering treatment). You would learn and practice simple exercises to relax your muscles, which may help improve your mood and energy.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT07413315Recruiting
Kidney rehab program for dialysis patients after hospital stay
This study tests a special exercise and education program for people on daily hemodialysis (a type of kidney treatment) who have recently been in the hospital. The goal is to see if this program helps you recover and feel better.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07278973Recruiting
Dialysis study for people over 84 with kidney failure
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodiafiltration and standard hemodialysis) to see which works better for older adults with kidney failure. You may be eligible if you are over 84, have been on dialysis for at least 3 months, and are generally healthy enough to participate.
BretagneAges 85 years+ - NCT07144332Recruiting
Does dialysis alone lower uric acid enough?
This study checks how well hemodialysis alone removes uric acid from the blood. It helps doctors decide if extra medicines are needed to lower uric acid in people on regular dialysis.
SohagAges 18 years+ - NCT06327750Recruiting
Dialysis type, blood flow, and salt storage in the body
This study looks at how different types of dialysis affect salt stored in your tissues and your small blood vessels. It may help doctors understand how to improve dialysis treatments.
Amstelveen, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05828823Recruiting
Two-times-a-week dialysis for new patients
This study tests whether starting dialysis at twice a week, instead of the usual three times, is safe and effective for people who still have some kidney function. If the kidneys still make urine and clear waste, being on dialysis less often may maintain that function longer.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05465044Recruiting
Twice-weekly dialysis for veterans starting kidney treatment
This study compares starting hemodialysis two times per week versus three times per week for veterans in their first year of dialysis. It aims to see if a less frequent schedule can be just as safe and effective for those who still make urine.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07462741Recruiting
Education program for diabetic hemodialysis patients
This study tests if a special education program helps people with diabetes who are on hemodialysis (a type of kidney treatment). The goal is to see if learning more about managing their health can improve their overall well-being.
Elâzığ, MerkezAges 18 years+ - NCT05407207Recruiting
Electrical stimulation during dialysis to improve walking and balance
This study tests whether a special electrical stimulation treatment to the soles of the feet during dialysis can improve balance and walking in people with diabetes who have nerve damage in the feet. If it works, it may help reduce fall risk and improve mobility.
Houston, TexasAges 40 years+ - NCT05586867Recruiting
Blood testing study in people on hemodialysis
This study looks at blood markers related to iron and other body processes (like minerals, liver function, and inflammation) in people receiving hemodialysis. The results may help doctors better understand what affects health in dialysis patients.
Quincy-sous-SénartAges 18 years+ - NCT05667090Recruiting
High-dose vitamin D3 to ease chronic pain in dialysis patients
This study tests whether taking a very high dose of vitamin D3 can reduce moderate to severe chronic pain in people on hemodialysis. It may help by improving vitamin D-related pathways that could affect pain, but you must also meet specific health and testing requirements.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT03083184RecruitingPhase 3
Ethanol lock solution to prevent catheter infections
This Phase 3 study tests whether a medicine-filled “lock” put into a dialysis catheter can lower the risk of infections. It is meant for people on regular dialysis with a tunnelled catheter who already have it in place.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT07820514Recruiting
Exercise during dialysis for kidney disease
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program during dialysis sessions can help people with chronic kidney disease feel better and improve their health. It is designed for patients who are stable on dialysis and may offer a way to enhance well-being during treatment.
Torre del GrecoAges 18 years+ - NCT07803029Recruiting
Measuring fluid changes during dialysis
This study uses a special device to measure fluid levels in the body during dialysis. It may help doctors better understand and manage fluid balance for people on hemodialysis.
Aarhus, Central DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT07721636Recruiting
Vexus ultrasound to set dry weight in dialysis
This trial uses a special ultrasound scan (VEXUS) to help doctors find the right 'dry weight' for people on hemodialysis. The goal is to remove just the right amount of fluid without strain.
AlexandriaAges 25–65 - NCT07710183Recruiting

Colima, ColiimaAges 18 years+ - NCT07662889Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two types of dialysis for kidney failure
This trial compares a newer type of dialysis called hemodiafiltration with standard hemodialysis to see if it improves certain health measures in people with end-stage kidney disease. It may help determine which method works better for long-term treatment.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–70 - NCT07651436Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hemodialysis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 140 recruiting hemodialysis 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 hemodialysis 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 hemodialysis 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.
