Testing nafamostat to reduce bleeding risk during dialysis
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This pilot study tests whether nafamostat is safe for people on hemodialysis who have a high risk of bleeding. It may help clinicians find safer ways to manage blood clotting medicines during dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on hemodialysis and considered high risk for bleeding
- You have very low platelets (less than 10,000), or abnormal blood clotting tests (PTT over 60 seconds and/or INR above 2)
- You are having active bleeding or have had bleeding problems (such as nose/eye bleeding or blood in urine)
- You had a brain bleed within the last 6 months, or you are taking blood-thinning medicines (warfarin/Coumadin or NOACs), and/or two antiplatelet medicines
- You recently had major surgery within the last month

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests two medications, tranexamic acid and desmopressin, to see if they can reduce bleeding during surgery in people with severe kidney disease or on dialysis. The results may help make surgery safer for you.
This trial tests a new medicine called nafamostat to prevent blood clots during continuous dialysis (CRRT), for people who are at high risk of bleeding or can't take heparin.
This trial tests a medication called nafamostat mesilate to help control blood clotting problems caused by severe infections (sepsis). It may be an option for people with sepsis who are at risk of bleeding but do not have active bleeding.
This trial is testing different doses of a blood thinner called nafamostat in patients who are in the ICU and need continuous kidney dialysis (CRRT). The goal is to find which dose works best to prevent clots in the dialysis machine without causing bleeding problems.
This trial tests a medicine called nafamostat mesilate to prevent blood clots in patients who need ECMO (a machine that helps your heart and lungs) after heart surgery. It may offer a safer way to thin the blood compared to standard treatments.
This trial tests two blood thinners (nafamostat and heparin) during kidney dialysis for people with sepsis-related acute kidney injury. The goal is to find which is safer and works better.
