Restorative meals at home for older adults on dialysis
This trial tests if providing supportive meals at home can improve nutrition and health for older adults (60+) with chronic kidney disease who are on hemodialysis and from low-income, food-insecure households in Malaysia.
Kuala Lumpur, Kuala LumpurAges 60 years+ - NCT07269379Recruiting
Exercise during dialysis with blood flow restriction
This study tests whether doing gentle exercise during dialysis with a special cuff that partly limits blood flow can help people on dialysis get stronger and feel better. It might be a good fit if you are on dialysis, not already exercising regularly, and have no serious health conditions that make exercise risky.
StrasbourgAges 20–79 - NCT07234890RecruitingPhase 2
Testing AV-001 to protect the brain during hemodialysis
This study tests a new medicine called AV-001 to see if it can protect the brain from damage caused by hemodialysis. If you qualify, you may help find a way to reduce thinking and memory problems linked to dialysis.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06906835Recruiting
Comparing two blood tests to guide iron treatment in dialysis patients
This trial tests whether a new blood test (reticulocyte hemoglobin) is better than the usual iron test (transferrin saturation) for guiding when to give iron to people on dialysis. If you have anemia (low red blood cells) from kidney disease, this study may help doctors find the best way to treat your iron levels.
Pathumwan, BangkokAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT07153939Recruiting
Study of a new device to create dialysis access
This trial tests a new device called the Velocity pAVF System that creates a connection between a vein and artery in your arm for hemodialysis. If you need dialysis now or within the next 6 months, this could be a new option for you.

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.
