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 tests whether a resistance exercise program is safe and helpful for older adults on hemodialysis. It aims to improve strength and quality of life for patients who are stable on dialysis and able to walk on their own.
This study tests whether having dialysis two times a week instead of three is safe and better for people aged 70 and older with kidney failure. If you qualify, you might get more time between treatments and possibly a better 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 trial tests two types of dialysis filters (medium cut-off and high-flux) to see which one better manages mineral and bone problems common in people on hemodialysis. It may help find a way to improve bone health and mineral balance.
This study tests whether aerobic exercise during dialysis sessions improves your health. If you join, you would do light exercises while receiving dialysis treatment, and the researchers will see if it helps you feel stronger or more energetic.
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.
