High-energy low-protein drink for advanced kidney disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a special nutritional drink that gives you extra energy but less protein, designed for people with advanced kidney disease who are not yet on dialysis. It may help you maintain strength while managing your kidney condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have chronic kidney disease at stage 3b or higher (meaning your kidney function is significantly reduced).
- Your kidney function (eGFR) must be less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m² as shown in your medical history.
- You must not currently be on dialysis, and it must not be planned for you to start dialysis within the next 3 months.

This study tests if a special drink can improve nutrition and quality of life in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not on dialysis. It is for those who have lost weight or have poor appetite.
This study tests a special nutritional supplement (MyNutriKidney®) that may help improve nutrition and health in people with chronic kidney disease. If you join, you'll use a health app plus receive the supplement or a placebo, so you can see if it helps your kidney condition.
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 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 a step-by-step low-protein diet can help protect your kidneys if you have advanced chronic kidney disease (stages 4 or 5) or stage 3 that is getting worse quickly. The goal is to see if this diet approach can slow down kidney damage.
This trial tests a low-protein diet (called PLADO) to help manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3–5. It aims to slow kidney decline and improve nutrition. You may join if your kidney function is stable and your blood sugar and blood pressure are under control.
