GLP-1 drugs for people with diabetes on dialysis
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if a type 2 diabetes medication called a GLP-1 receptor agonist (like Ozempic) is safe and effective for people on dialysis. It may help manage blood sugar and improve health outcomes for those with kidney failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older
- You have been on dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) for at least 3 months
- You have type 2 diabetes (you take pills or insulin for it)
- You haven't taken a GLP-1 drug (like Ozempic or Trulicity) in the last month
- You and your family don't have a history of certain rare thyroid or pancreas problems

This trial tests whether semaglutide (a diabetes drug) can help protect kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes who already have mild to moderate kidney damage. You will take semaglutide or a placebo and have regular kidney function tests.
This study tests two different medicines (empagliflozin or semaglutide) added to your usual insulin to see if they help with blood sugar control and weight loss in people with type 1 diabetes who are overweight or have obesity. It may be a good fit if your diabetes is not well controlled with insulin injections alone.
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.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining two diabetes medicines—an SGLT2 tablet and a GLP-1 shot (semaglutide)—can improve kidney outcomes and safety in people with a kidney transplant. It may help some recipients, but it also carefully checks for infection risk, diabetes complications, and pregnancy plans.
This trial tests a medicine called a GLP-1 receptor agonist (like Ozempic) to see if it can help people with very early type 1 diabetes (stage 1) keep their insulin-making cells working longer. You may be a good fit if you have stage 1 type 1 diabetes and haven't needed insulin yet.
This trial tests whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a type of diabetes medication) can improve fat tissue health in people with chronic kidney disease who also have type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or obesity. It may help protect your kidneys and overall health.
