Comparing two peritoneal dialysis schedules in children with kidney failure
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a modified version of daily peritoneal dialysis (M-CAPD) versus the standard version (C-CAPD) for children in low-resource settings who have end-stage kidney disease. It aims to see if the modified schedule works better for clearing waste and fluid.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must have end-stage kidney disease and have been on peritoneal dialysis for at least 3 months.
- Child's body surface area must be less than 1.5 square meters.
- Child must not have had a hernia, belly wall or genital fluid leaks, or a lung-diaphragm connection.
- Child must not have peritoneal membrane scarring or failure.
- Child must not have had peritonitis in the last 2 months.
- Child must not have switched from hemodialysis to peritoneal dialysis in the last 3 weeks.

This study tests whether using two evening dialysis fluid bags (with a special fluid called icodextrin) can help control blood pressure better than the usual one bag. This might be helpful for children who have high blood pressure and low urine output while on peritoneal dialysis.
This study tests how well a specific automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) treatment works and how tolerable it is for children with kidney failure. It is designed for small children weighing 20 kg or less who need or already use APD.
This study compares two forms of home peritoneal dialysis—how well they work for kidney health and how they affect daily life. You may be considered if you have end-stage kidney disease and meet specific test and safety requirements.
This study tests a new feature of a home dialysis machine called FlexPoint that may allow you to fill your belly with more or less fluid depending on your needs. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe for people doing peritoneal dialysis at home.
This study compares the effectiveness and resource use of remote patient monitoring across different dialysis methods for people with end-stage renal disease. It aims to see if remote monitoring can improve care and outcomes.
This study looks at improving how well dialysis removes waste from the blood and uses water in children. It may help make treatments more effective and efficient.
