Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT06978127Recruiting
Tech help for dialysis patients to feel better
This study tests a program that uses technology to help people on dialysis feel better and take a more active role in their care. It may help you if you are on dialysis and want extra support.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT06364449Recruiting
Study on choices for first-time dialysis access
This study looks at how doctors decide which type of hemodialysis access (fistula or graft) to create for patients who need it for the first time. It gathers information from multiple hospitals to help improve future decision-making.
TaipeiAges 18–100 - NCT06906874RecruitingPhase 2
Activated charcoal for kidney disease patients on dialysis
This trial tests if taking activated charcoal by mouth can help people with advanced kidney disease who are already on dialysis. It may improve how the body handles certain waste products and reduce the need for other medicines.
Al Mansurah, Please SelectAges 18 years+ - NCT06708338Recruiting
Bevel direction during dialysis fistula puncture
This study looks at which way the needle bevel should face when starting dialysis through a new fistula. It might help reduce pain or damage to the fistula.
Le Puy-en-VelayAges 18–85 - NCT06438445Recruiting
Royal Jelly Supplement for Kidney Disease on Dialysis
This study tests whether a daily supplement called royal jelly can help people with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis. Researchers will check if it improves health markers.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–70 - NCT06369064Recruiting
Comparing dialysis methods for kidney injury in the ICU
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration) to see which is better at removing waste from the blood in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
NîmesAges 18 years+ - NCT06329310Recruiting
Study of a new dialysis graft for kidney failure patients
This trial tests a new type of dialysis access graft (called aXess-E) for people with kidney failure who need a graft in their arm. It aims to see if the graft works well for long-term dialysis.
LisbonAges 18 years+ - NCT06001827Recruiting
Study of a wrap to help new dialysis access points heal
This trial tests a special wrap placed around a new arm access point for dialysis (called an AV fistula) to see if it helps the access stay healthy and work better. It is for people who need a new AV fistula for kidney dialysis.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05117450Recruiting
Compare two dialysis membranes to adjust heparin use
This study compares two dialysis membranes while using a reduced “weaning” plan for the blood thinner heparin during hemodialysis. It aims to see which membrane works better and safely during routine chronic dialysis.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT05936710Recruiting
Citrate vs acetate dialysis to prevent low blood pressure
This study compares two types of dialysis fluid (citrate-based vs acetate-based) to see which better helps protect blood pressure during intermittent dialysis. It may help people in intensive care who are at risk of dialysis-related low blood pressure.
BéthuneAges 18 years+ - NCT05884138Recruiting
Amino acid supplement and exercise for people on dialysis
This trial studies whether taking essential amino acids along with exercise can improve muscle function in people receiving hemodialysis. It may help you build or maintain strength and mobility.
Daejeon, South KoreaAges 20–80 - NCT05786443RecruitingPhase 2
Empagliflozin test in adults on regular dialysis
This study tests whether the medicine empagliflozin is safe and helpful for adults who are on regular hemodialysis and still make a small amount of urine. The goal is to see if it can improve health outcomes while tracking side effects closely.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05410275RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose rivaroxaban for dialysis patients without blood thinners
This study tests whether a lower dose of the blood thinner rivaroxaban is safe for people with kidney failure on dialysis who do not already need blood thinners. The goal is to find a way to prevent blood clots and strokes with less risk of bleeding.
ToursAges 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+ - NCT04163614Recruiting
Testing blood pressure patterns and fluid removal during dialysis
This study looks at how blood pressure changes during hemodialysis and how much fluid is removed, to see what approach works best for controlling blood pressure. It may help dialysis patients whose blood pressure is often high before or after treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03969329RecruitingPhase 3
Etelcalcetide for children on dialysis with high parathyroid hormone
This Phase 3 trial tests etelcalcetide to lower a hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH) in children who have kidney disease and secondary hyperparathyroidism while on hemodialysis. It may help control bone/mineral problems, but the study also checks heart rhythm safety and medication stability.
GhentAges 2–17 - NCT03633708RecruitingPhase 3
Etelcalcetide for children with dialysis-related overactive parathyroid hormone
This trial studies etelcalcetide in children who have chronic kidney disease and too much parathyroid hormone while on hemodialysis. It aims to safely lower the hormone levels and help manage related bone/mineral problems.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–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 - 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.

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.
