Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT03977207Recruiting
Thyroid hormone supplement for people on dialysis

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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06422871Recruiting
Observing HeRO Graft and Super HeRO in dialysis patients
This study is tracking how well the HeRO Graft and Super HeRO work for people on dialysis. If you already have one of these devices, joining helps doctors see how it performs over time.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 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.
Mariánské LázněAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05273424Enrolling by invitation
Study of outcomes for people on long-term dialysis
This study looks at health outcomes for people living with chronic kidney disease who have been on hemodialysis for more than 90 days. It may help doctors better understand what to expect over time and how dialysis care can be improved in Brazil.
Pelotas, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT04433455Recruiting
Brain and thinking health in hemodialysis patients
This study looks at how blood vessel problems in the brain and thinking (cognition) are related in people who are on long-term hemodialysis for kidney failure. By joining, you help doctors learn how to better protect brain health in dialysis patients.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 50–85 - NCT03480568RecruitingPhase 3
A cholesterol injection study for people on dialysis
This study tests whether a cholesterol-lowering injection (alirocumab) helps people who are on regular dialysis. It aims to improve cholesterol control in a carefully selected group and tracks safety during treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06205576Recruiting
Balloon treatment for narrowed AV fistula veins
This trial tests a balloon device to open up narrowed veins in an AV fistula used for dialysis. It may help if your fistula has a blockage that causes problems like high pressure or low blood flow.
BeijingAges 18–85 - NCT06454396Recruiting
Treating blocked dialysis fistulas from inside the blood vessel
This trial tests a new way to reopen blocked or narrowed fistulas (the blood vessels used for dialysis) in people on hemodialysis. The goal is to see how well it works and if it saves money compared to other treatments.

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.
