Bisacodyl for fixing Tenckhoff catheter flow problems
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests if taking bisacodyl (a gentle laxative) by mouth can help fix a blocked or poorly draining Tenckhoff catheter in people on peritoneal dialysis. If you have trouble with your catheter, this might help improve your dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are currently on peritoneal dialysis
- You have a problem with your Tenckhoff catheter not draining well
- You do not have diarrhea or active inflammatory bowel disease
- You are not in another research study

This trial studies using an “antibiotic lock” inside a Tenckhoff catheter to prevent relapsing or repeat peritonitis in people on peritoneal dialysis. It may help stop infections that come back soon after antibiotics, especially when the same germ is causing them.
This study tests whether a sodium bicarbonate enema (a liquid given through the rectum) can help relieve constipation and reduce certain waste products (uremic toxins) in the blood for people with moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease. It may offer a simple, non-drug way to improve comfort and kidney health.
This study tests an investigational drug called tenapanor for people with chronic idiopathic constipation (constipation with no clear cause). It aims to see if the drug can safely improve bowel movements in adults.
This study tests whether a medication called tenapanor can help relieve constipation in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's and have been struggling with constipation for at least 6 months, this trial may offer a new option to improve bowel regularity.
This trial tests a new drug called CMTS4520 for people with long-term constipation. It aims to see if the drug can help you have more bowel movements without needing laxatives or other help. The study lasts for several months and includes regular check-ups.
This study tests whether a natural fiber supplement called agave inulin can help with constipation and improve quality of life for people who have just started peritoneal dialysis for kidney failure.
