This trial compares two types of balloons used to open up narrowed areas in the blood vessels of dialysis patients. It aims to find which balloon works better for keeping the fistula working well.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT07781124Recruiting
Remote monitoring for kidney dialysis patients
This study compares the effectiveness and resource use of remote patient monitoring across different dialysis methods for people with end-stage renal disease. It aims to see if remote monitoring can improve care and outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–79 - NCT07779200Recruiting
Bicarbonate dialysis for kidney failure patients
This study tests a type of dialysis that uses different levels of bicarbonate to see if it can improve health for people with kidney failure. It may help patients who are already on regular dialysis.
Stevenage, HertfordshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07759167RecruitingPhase 1
Study of three study drugs for kidney failure patients on dialysis
This trial tests three experimental antibodies given to people with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. It aims to see if these drugs are safe and how they affect blood clotting in this group.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT07753876Enrolling by invitation
Cuffless blood pressure monitoring during dialysis
This study tests a wearable device that measures blood pressure without a cuff while you are on dialysis. It may give a more comfortable way to track your blood pressure during treatment.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07746102Recruiting
Preconditioning therapy for chronic kidney disease patients
This study tests whether repeated brief periods of reduced blood flow (like a gentle squeeze on your arm) can improve how your body handles energy and blood flow. It is designed for people with any stage of chronic kidney disease (G1–G5).
LodzAges 18 years+ - NCT07720401Recruiting
Exercise during dialysis for posture problems
This study tests if doing gentle exercise during dialysis can help improve posture problems like a rounded upper back or forward head tilt. It is a small, early-stage study to see if the exercises are safe and might help.
IsfahanAges 18–80 - NCT06635590Recruiting
Kidney disease, high potassium, and heart changes
This study looks at how high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) in people with chronic kidney disease may affect the heart. Doctors will use echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds) to check for changes.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06224140Recruiting
Dialysis without heparin: a safety study
This study tests whether dialysis can be done safely without using heparin (a blood thinner) in people with end-stage kidney disease. If successful, it could reduce the need for blood-thinning medications and their associated risks.
Marseille, Bouches du RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT06675877Recruiting
Virtual reality for kids with kidney disease on dialysis
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) can help reduce anxiety and depression in children with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis through an arteriovenous fistula. It may offer a fun, drug-free way to feel better during treatment.
TantaAges 8–18 - NCT07656168Recruiting
Testing a new blood filter to improve quality of life in kidney failure
This trial tests whether adding a special filter called pHA130 to your regular dialysis treatments can better remove certain waste products from your blood and improve your quality of life. It's for people who have been on dialysis for at least 3 months and meet a few health requirements.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07642778Recruiting
Measuring Leg Strength in Kidney Disease Patients on Dialysis
This study measures how strong your leg muscles are in patients with chronic kidney disease who receive dialysis treatment. Understanding normal strength patterns may help doctors better support kidney disease patients' physical health and quality of life.
MadridAges 18–85 - NCT05612022Recruiting
Sound recording during hemodialysis fistula decisions
This study records and analyzes sounds from people getting hemodialysis through an access in the arm (an AV fistula or graft). It aims to see whether sound patterns can help assess or guide the best vascular access approach for dialysis.
Bergamo, BGAges 18–90 - NCT06723912Recruiting
Support program for people on hemodialysis
This trial tests a program to help people on hemodialysis take better care of their health. It focuses on education and support after months of treatment.
KahramanmaraşAges 18 years+ - NCT06422845Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for dialysis fistula narrowing
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medication to help keep your dialysis fistula (the blood vessel used for treatment) open longer if it has narrowed. It may be a good option if you have a blockage in the vein side of your fistula that causes problems during dialysis.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07506980Recruiting
Nurse-led program for dialysis patients to improve self-care
This study tests whether a nurse-led program can help people on dialysis improve their self-care and quality of life. It focuses on those who tend to gain fluid between sessions and may need extra support.
Gokarna, BagmatiAges 18–69 - NCT06735378Recruiting
Exercise before dialysis to protect the heart
This study tests if doing gentle exercise just before dialysis can help prevent heart damage that sometimes happens during treatment. You may be able to join if you are on long-term dialysis and have not been exercising vigorously.
London, OntarioAges 18–79 - NCT06794216Recruiting
Comparing dialysis methods to clean blood in kidney failure
This study compares different types of dialysis to see which removes waste products (uremic toxins) best from the blood. If you have been on dialysis for at least 6 months and use the same filter for a year, this trial may help find a better way to clean your blood.
Bologna, Emilia-RomagnaAges 18 years+ - NCT07447375Recruiting
Light exercise during dialysis for muscle strength and sleep
This study tests if gentle exercise during your dialysis sessions can help maintain muscle strength and improve sleep. If you are on chronic hemodialysis, at least 40 years old, and able to do simple exercises safely, you may be eligible.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 40 years+ - NCT06664125RecruitingPhase 2

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.
