Comparing two dialysis methods for removing waste in kidney failure
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two advanced dialysis methods to see which one removes waste products from the blood better. If you are already on a type of dialysis called expanded hemodialysis, you might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have end-stage kidney disease (kidney failure) and have been on dialysis for more than 3 months.
- You receive hemodialysis three times a week, and you've been using a type called 'expanded hemodialysis' for at least 1 month.
- You produce very little urine (less than 100 mL per day, which is less than half a cup).
- You are willing to give written consent to participate.

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 whether adding a special blood-filtering device (hemoadsorption) to your regular dialysis treatment can reduce uncomfortable symptoms caused by kidney failure, like fatigue or itching. Researchers will track how you feel over time compared to standard dialysis alone.
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 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.
This study compares different types of dialysis to see which removes waste products (uremic toxins) best from the blood. If you have been on dialysis for at least 6 months and use the same filter for a year, this trial may help find a better way to clean your blood.
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.
