Testing Amino Acid Dialysis Solution for Malnutrition on Peritoneal Dialysis
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for at least 3 months.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your blood albumin level (a protein that helps show your nutrition) is between 25 and 40 g/L on two tests taken one week apart.
- You have not had a belly infection or been hospitalized for an infection in the past 3 months.
- You are not planning to receive a kidney transplant during the study.

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.
This study tests if eating more plant-based foods can improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who are underweight or malnourished. Participants will follow a special diet plan and have regular health check-ups for 6 months.
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.
This Phase 3 trial studies how well a new peritoneal dialysis solution works and whether it is safe. It’s meant for adults with kidney failure who already do a specific type of at-home dialysis.
This study tests whether giving a protein supplement during dialysis is safe and helps improve nutrition. You take the supplement during your usual dialysis sessions, and it may help you feel stronger and healthier.
This study tests whether giving amino acids directly into the blood during dialysis can reduce stiffness in blood vessels, which is common in kidney failure and can lead to heart problems. If you are on stable dialysis, this treatment might help improve your vascular health.
