Muscle strength supplement for kidney disease patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at a possible nutritional supplement (valine) to help people with advanced chronic kidney disease who also have muscle weakness (sarcopenia). It will test whether the supplement can improve muscle strength and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is for adults with chronic kidney disease and low muscle strength (sarcopenia). It aims to find ways to improve outcomes, especially if you have a higher risk of complications.
This trial studies whether taking essential amino acids along with exercise can improve muscle function in people receiving hemodialysis. It may help you build or maintain strength and mobility.
This study tests whether a medicine called Ketosteril can improve muscle strength and function in people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) who also have sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss).
This trial tests an investigational drug called AMC6156 to see if it can help improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will also follow exercise and nutrition guidance.
This study tests how much protein older adults with kidney disease and muscle loss should eat to build or maintain muscle. You will follow a protein plan and do simple resistance exercises to see if it helps your strength.
This study tests an experimental treatment called EN001, made from stem cells, to see if it can help improve muscle strength and function in older adults with sarcopenia. Participants will receive the treatment or a placebo, and all will follow a diet and exercise program.
