Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 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.

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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07522944Recruiting
AI Relaxation Tool to Reduce Dialysis Anxiety
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence-guided relaxation program can help reduce anxiety in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The program uses calming visuals and sounds delivered through a digital platform to help you feel less anxious during your dialysis sessions.
Alexandria, Alexandria GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07380113RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two drugs for sleep in dialysis patients with itch
This trial tests if anrikefon or nalfurafine improves sleep quality in people on hemodialysis who have chronic kidney disease-related itching. It aims to find a better treatment for both itch and sleep problems.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07069491Recruiting
High blood pressure during dialysis: what causes it?
This study is looking at why some people develop high blood pressure during their dialysis sessions. Your participation could help doctors better manage this condition in the future.
SohagAges 18–70 - NCT06445647Recruiting
Core exercise for daily activities in hemodialysis patients
This study tests whether doing core-strengthening exercises can help people on hemodialysis with daily activities like walking, bathing, and dressing. If you are between 55 and 70, have been on dialysis for at least 6 months, and are generally healthy enough to exercise, you may be able to join.
CairoAges 55–70 - NCT06286098Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Alpha lipoic acid for kids on dialysis
This trial tests if alpha lipoic acid, a common supplement, can help reduce stress on the body for children who are on regular hemodialysis. It may offer a way to support their health during treatment.
Cairo, El WeiliAges 8–16 - NCT05248620Recruiting
Antibiotics to prevent infections in hemodialysis catheters
This trial tests whether taking preventive antibiotics (or a placebo sugar pill) can lower the risk of infections in people who receive hemodialysis through a catheter. It may help protect you from serious catheter-related infections, but you must be able to follow the study’s medicine and consent rules.
Copenhagen, Capital RegionAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT07285291RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for high phosphorus in dialysis patients
This trial tests a new medicine called TS-172 for people with high phosphorus levels who are on hemodialysis. It aims to lower phosphorus levels and is taken along with your current phosphate binder medication.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hemodialysis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 155 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.
