Recruiting studies
- NCT06556407Recruiting
Kidney nerve treatment for high blood pressure in dialysis patients
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation (using radio waves to calm overactive nerves in the kidney) to see if it helps lower blood pressure in people on dialysis who have resistant high blood pressure.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18–99 - NCT07466459Enrolling by invitation

This study tests whether using a stress ball during hemodialysis (a treatment for kidney failure) helps patients feel more comfortable, less anxious, and more satisfied with their care.
Bitlis, TatvanAges 18–98 - NCT06575634Recruiting
Exercise and blood cell health in dialysis patients
This study tests whether adding a personalized exercise program to regular dialysis can improve how well your red blood cells move and work. It may help people on dialysis feel better and have healthier blood.
TaoyuanAges 20–80 - NCT06141798Recruiting
Dialysis Frequency for Older Adults
This trial compares two versus three times weekly dialysis for people aged 60 or older who are just starting maintenance hemodialysis. It aims to find the best schedule for older adults with end stage kidney disease.
Bucheon-siAges 60 years+ - NCT06608953Enrolling by invitation
EECP for artery stiffness in dialysis patients
This study tests whether a non‑invasive treatment called enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) can help reduce stiffness in the arteries of people on chronic hemodialysis. It may improve heart health and make dialysis more effective.
Bangkok, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06847139Recruiting
Zinc vs. folic acid for high homocysteine in kidney dialysis
This trial tests whether zinc supplements can lower high homocysteine levels better than folic acid in people with chronic kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. It aims to find a simple, safe way to help protect your heart and blood vessels.
ChittagongAges Any age - NCT07080840Enrolling by invitation
Phosphorus education and medication help for dialysis patients
This trial tests a program to help hemodialysis patients better understand phosphorus control and stick to their phosphate-binding medications. It aims to improve health outcomes by supporting patients who have been on dialysis for over a year.
TaichungAges Any age - NCT07045064Recruiting
Exercise during dialysis for heart health
This study compares two types of exercise (aerobic vs. resistance training) done during hemodialysis sessions, and looks at how they affect a blood test related to heart disease risk.
Cairo, Select StateAges 40–60 - NCT06830993Recruiting
Exercise program for kidney dialysis patients
This study tests a physical activity prescription program for people on hemodialysis. It aims to see if a personalized exercise plan can help improve health and well-being during dialysis treatment.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07285304RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term study of TS-172 for high phosphorus on dialysis
This trial tests a new medicine, TS-172, to lower high phosphorus levels in people with kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. It looks at safety and effectiveness over a longer period.
TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT07461233Recruiting
Gut Health and Synbiotics in Hemodialysis
This study tests whether taking a special mix of friendly bacteria and prebiotics (called synbiotics) can help improve gut health in people on hemodialysis. It may reduce inflammation and other complications related to kidney disease.
Taichung, Wuqi DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT07561424Recruiting
Comparing different dialysis membrane types for kidney patients
This study compares three types of dialysis filters to see which works best at removing waste from your blood and improving your health outcomes. If you receive regular hemodialysis at a clinic, this trial may help doctors understand which filter type is most effective for you.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07651436Recruiting
Depression screening in patients on kidney dialysis
This study tests whether nurses can effectively screen for depression in patients receiving regular kidney dialysis treatment. The goal is to find the best way to identify depression early so patients can get help.
AnnecyAges 18 years+ - NCT07710183Recruiting
Pumpkin seed oil for hemodialysis patients
This study tests if pumpkin seed oil, a natural supplement, can improve health in people on long-term dialysis. It may help with inflammation and nutrition without using prescription drugs.
Baghdad, KarkhAges 18 years+ - NCT03977207Recruiting
Thyroid hormone supplement for people on dialysis
This trial tests whether taking a thyroid hormone supplement helps people who are on hemodialysis and have borderline-high thyroid lab results (high TSH but normal FT4). It’s studying whether treatment changes thyroid-related outcomes or health while on dialysis.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT05642156Recruiting
Ultrafiltration versus usual dialysis in people on hemodialysis
This study compares a specific way of removing fluid during dialysis (isolated ultrafiltration) with conventional hemodialysis. It aims to see how each approach affects blood flow and fluid shifts in people with end-stage kidney disease.
GrazAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT05997875Recruiting
Learning about dialysis access options
This study tests a new way to teach people about hemodialysis and the access (the spot in your arm or leg where the dialysis machine connects). It is for people with advanced kidney disease who are considering hemodialysis and want to learn about their options for vascular access.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hemodialysis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 153 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.
