Recruiting studies
- NCT05721404RecruitingPhase 4
Icodextrin to delay full-dose dialysis in first year of incremental PD
This study tests whether a special dialysis fluid called icodextrin can help people on a low-dose form of peritoneal dialysis stay on that low dose longer before needing a full dose. It is for adults who still make some urine and can do dialysis at home.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07724327Enrolling by invitation
AI assistant for peritoneal dialysis decisions
This study tests whether a special AI tool can help doctors make better decisions about peritoneal dialysis (a type of kidney treatment). You will use the AI to answer clinical scenarios and your answers will be compared to others.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT07539428Enrolling by invitation
Testing AI tool for peritoneal dialysis doctors and trainees
This trial tests a specialized artificial intelligence tool designed to help doctors and residents manage peritoneal dialysis (a kidney treatment where fluid is exchanged through the abdomen). Researchers want to see if the AI tool can help healthcare providers improve their decision-making and care for patients on this treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT05715814RecruitingPhase 3
Test diabetes-pill type medicine on kidney dialysis safety
This Phase 3 trial studies the safety of an SGLT2 inhibitor (a diabetes medication that can affect kidney fluid handling) in people on peritoneal dialysis. The goal is to see how the treatment works in your type of dialysis and whether it causes any problems.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05860270RecruitingPhase 4
Vitamin D by mouth to prevent peritoneal dialysis peritonitis
This trial tests whether taking vitamin D by mouth can lower the risk of peritonitis (a painful infection of the lining around the abdomen) in people on peritoneal dialysis. You might benefit if your vitamin D level is low and you meet other safety requirements.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 19 years+ - NCT06597201RecruitingPhase 4
Testing Amino Acid Dialysis Solution for Malnutrition on Peritoneal Dialysis
This trial tests a special peritoneal dialysis solution with amino acids (protein building blocks) to improve nutrition in people on CAPD who are malnourished. It might help boost your protein levels and overall health.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06642597Recruiting
Starting incremental peritoneal dialysis prescription
This trial tests a gradual approach to starting peritoneal dialysis (a type of dialysis done at home) for people who are new to dialysis. It aims to see if slowly increasing the dose is safe and helpful.
Blacktown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07370441Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Amino acid dialysis fluid for better nutrition
This trial tests a special dialysis fluid with amino acids (building blocks of protein) to see if it helps improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who have low protein levels. If you qualify, it may help boost your nutrition.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06842927Enrolling by invitation
A tool to measure how well peritoneal dialysis works
This study is testing a new computer tool that helps doctors see how well peritoneal dialysis (a type of kidney treatment done at home) removes waste from your body. It may help make your dialysis more effective.
TuenmenAges 18 years+ - NCT06398977Recruiting
Dapagliflozin to protect kidney function in dialysis patients
This trial tests whether a diabetes drug called dapagliflozin can help people on peritoneal dialysis keep their remaining kidney function longer. It is for patients who started dialysis recently and still make urine.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06483074RecruitingPhase 2
Empagliflozin to preserve kidney function in new peritoneal dialysis patients
This trial tests whether empagliflozin, a medication originally for diabetes, can help protect the remaining kidney function in people who have just started peritoneal dialysis. If you started dialysis within the last 3 months and still make some urine, this study may be a good fit.
Hong KongAges 18–75 - NCT06876987Recruiting
Mobile app training for peritoneal dialysis patients
This trial tests a mobile app training system to help people on peritoneal dialysis manage their treatment better. If you are doing your own dialysis and are free from current infections, you may be able to join.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT07077538Recruiting
Amino acid dialysis fluid for diabetic patients on PD
This study tests a special dialysis fluid made with amino acids (protein building blocks) instead of the usual sugar-based fluid. It may help control blood sugar and improve nutrition in people with diabetes on peritoneal dialysis.
Gaozhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06697418Enrolling by invitation
Physical activity and heart health in peritoneal dialysis patients
This study uses a wrist-worn device to see how daily physical activity affects heart health and other outcomes for people on peritoneal dialysis. If you are on PD, can walk on your own, and are willing to wear a tracker, you may be able to join.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07098351Recruiting
A trial for a new itchy skin medicine for people on peritoneal dialysis
This trial tests if a medication called nalfurafine hydrochloride (taken as a tablet that melts in your mouth) can help reduce moderate to severe itching in people receiving peritoneal dialysis for chronic kidney disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT06738550Enrolling by invitation
Agave inulin for constipation in new dialysis patients
This study tests whether a natural fiber supplement called agave inulin can help with constipation and improve quality of life for people who have just started peritoneal dialysis for kidney failure.
Metepec, State of MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT07271420RecruitingPhase 4
Blood pressure drug study for dialysis patients
This trial tests whether a common blood pressure medication (thiazide diuretics) helps control high blood pressure in people on peritoneal dialysis. The goal is to see if it can lower blood pressure and improve health.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07548853RecruitingPhase 3
Testing TS-172 to Lower Phosphorus in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
This study tests whether a new medicine called TS-172 can help lower phosphorus levels in patients on peritoneal dialysis (a type of kidney treatment). High phosphorus can cause bone problems and other complications, so the trial aims to see if this drug works better than current treatments.
TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT06884280RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing high and low dose iron for people on peritoneal dialysis
This trial tests whether a higher or lower dose of iron works better for people on peritoneal dialysis who have low iron levels. It aims to find the best way to treat iron deficiency in this group.
Hull, East Riding Of YorkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07059962Recruiting

Pressure inside the belly during PD for polycystic kidney disease
This study looks at factors that affect the pressure inside the belly (intraperitoneal pressure) in people with polycystic kidney disease who are on peritoneal dialysis. The goal is to better understand how PD works for these patients and help guide their care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for peritoneal dialysis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 40 recruiting peritoneal dialysis 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 peritoneal dialysis 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 peritoneal dialysis 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.
