Dialysis study for people over 84 with kidney failure
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodiafiltration and standard hemodialysis) to see which works better for older adults with kidney failure. You may be eligible if you are over 84, have been on dialysis for at least 3 months, and are generally healthy enough to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 85 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with kidney failure
- You have been on maintenance dialysis (hemodialysis) for over 3 months
- You are willing to have dialysis sessions lasting 3.5 to 4 hours, three times a week
- You have a reliable access point for dialysis (like a fistula or graft)
- You are covered by health insurance and can understand French

This study looks at whether having dialysis less often—such as once a week instead of three times—is just as good for older adults (70+) with kidney failure. It aims to reduce the burden of frequent treatments and improve quality of life.
This trial tests a special dialysis filter (Elisio HX) that removes more waste products from the blood. It aims to see if this approach improves health outcomes for people on regular in-center hemodialysis.
This study tests whether adding a special blood-cleaning treatment called hemoperfusion to regular dialysis can improve health outcomes for people with kidney failure. It aims to see if this extra treatment helps patients feel better and live longer.
This trial compares a newer type of dialysis called hemodiafiltration with standard hemodialysis to see if it improves certain health measures in people with end-stage kidney disease. It may help determine which method works better for long-term treatment.
This trial compares two versus three times weekly dialysis for people aged 60 or older who are just starting maintenance hemodialysis. It aims to find the best schedule for older adults with end stage kidney disease.
This study measures how well a dialysis method called haemodiafiltration removes waste products from the blood, tracks how patients feel, and monitors sodium balance. It aims to improve treatment for people with kidney failure on dialysis.
