Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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+ - NCT06604403Recruiting
Massage for people on hemodialysis
This trial tests if massage therapy during dialysis sessions can improve comfort or well-being. It's for people who have been on hemodialysis for at least 6 months and can communicate easily.
Erzurum, YakutiyeAges 18 years+ - NCT06749457RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for healthy adults and kidney patients on dialysis
This trial tests a new drug called AZD7760 in two groups: healthy adults (Phase I) and adults with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis through a central venous catheter (Phase IIa). The goal is to see how safe the drug is and how the body processes it. This could lead to a new treatment option for people on dialysis.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18–55 - NCT05705414RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Amino acid supplement during dialysis to improve energy in kidney disease
This early-stage study tests whether taking amino acids during hemodialysis can help people with end-stage kidney disease feel better and maintain strength. It may help by supporting nutrition during dialysis, but it’s mainly meant to gather early safety and benefit information.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–64 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 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 - NCT03001921Recruiting
Practice add-on for people on hemodialysis
This trial is for people with end-stage kidney disease who are already receiving hemodialysis. It tests a “wise practice” program or approach during dialysis to see if it can help patients in some meaningful way.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04721652Recruiting
Track drinking and recovery after hemodialysis sessions
This study looks at how fluid intake after each hemodialysis treatment affects your health. It may help find safer, easier guidance on how much to drink between treatments.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03276273Recruiting
Check brain-wave changes in people starting dialysis for the first time
This trial looks at brain activity (using a painless EEG, which measures brain waves) in people who are starting hemodialysis for the first time. It aims to understand what happens to brain activity when dialysis begins, and whether specific patterns are seen.
DalianAges 18–90 - NCT07179705Recruiting
Predicting low blood pressure during dialysis in the ICU
This trial tests if a special tool can predict and prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during dialysis in ICU patients with kidney problems. It might help make dialysis safer and more comfortable.
BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT05418647Recruiting
Changing dialysis salt level to improve recovery time
This trial compares two different salt (sodium) levels in the dialysis fluid to see which one helps people recover better after hemodialysis. If you meet the study’s dialysis schedule and health requirements, your team may assign you to one of the sodium levels during treatments.
AlexandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06463236Recruiting
Study of anemia management in dialysis patients
This study is testing a new way to manage anemia (low red blood cells) in people on long-term dialysis. It aims to improve how doctors treat this common issue.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06493292Recruiting
Treating a blocked dialysis fistula with balloon therapy
This trial tests a balloon treatment for blocked blood vessels in the arm used for dialysis. It aims to improve blood flow so dialysis can work better.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT07111260Recruiting
Using a pHA130 filter for 4 hours during dialysis
This study tests a special filter called pHA130 that is used during your regular hemodialysis sessions for a full 4 hours. The purpose is to see if it helps improve your dialysis treatment outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT06470646Recruiting
Endovascular treatment for dialysis graft problems
This trial studies a procedure to open up blocked or narrowed areas in the plastic tube (graft) used for dialysis. It aims to see if the procedure works well and if it is cost-effective for patients who have trouble completing dialysis because of graft issues.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06981832Recruiting
Physical activity support for new dialysis patients
This trial tests if personalized support from a physical activity teacher and a nurse can help people on hemodialysis become more active. It's for patients who started dialysis less than a year ago and currently have low or moderate physical activity levels.
La Roche-sur-YonAges 18 years+ - NCT07312916Recruiting
Hand massage for itching in kidney dialysis patients
This study tests whether hand massage can help reduce the chronic itching that many people on dialysis experience. It compares two groups to see if massage provides relief and improves quality of life.

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.
