Research study for calciphylaxis skin lesions
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study collects and stores information from people with calciphylaxis, a serious condition that causes painful skin lesions. It may help researchers learn more about the disease and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Have skin lesions that your clinician says look like calciphylaxis
- Be able to agree to the study (or have a legally allowed surrogate if decision-making is impaired)
- Do not be in prison

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a drug called tocilizumab (an IL-6 blocker) for people with calciphylaxis, a painful skin condition linked to kidney disease. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce inflammation and improve skin sores.
This study tests a new drug called EPN-701 for calciphylaxis, a serious condition where calcium deposits damage blood vessels and skin, causing painful sores. If you have this condition and are on regular dialysis, this trial may help reduce your pain and heal your wounds.
This study looks at a rare condition called calciphylaxis (hardening of small blood vessels) that can happen in people with chronic kidney disease. It aims to learn more about what causes it and how to help those affected.
This Phase 3 study is for adults on regular dialysis who have a new calciphylaxis ulcer. It tests a better way to give and use treatment guidance so ulcers may improve with clearer, more consistent care.
This early-phase study tests a stem cell therapy made from amniotic (placenta) tissue for people with calciphylaxis. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether this treatment is safe and potentially helpful for this rare, painful condition.
This trial studies whether a treatment called rheopheresis, added to standard care, can help people with calciphylaxis whose skin wounds are getting worse. It may be considered when ulcers or dead (necrotic) skin appear despite conventional treatment.
