Sarcopenia strength trial for kidney disease patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a special amino acid supplement to see if it can help improve muscle strength and function in people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have low hand grip strength, often a sign of muscle loss. It may offer a way to preserve muscle health without dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 75 years old.
- Your kidney function is very low (eGFR of 15 or less) and you are not on dialysis yet.
- Your hand grip strength is less than 26 kg (men) or less than 16 kg (women).
- You are not expected to need dialysis or a kidney transplant in the next 4 months.
- You are willing to follow diet and exercise advice and take the study supplement.

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 tests whether a drug called roxadustat can help treat muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people on hemodialysis. It aims to see if improving anemia also strengthens muscles.
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 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 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 whether exercise during hemodialysis can improve muscle oxygen levels and how well dialysis works. It is for people who have been on dialysis for at least a year and have muscle loss (sarcopenia).
