Tunneled dialysis catheter for hemodialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of dialysis catheter that may stay working longer and cause fewer problems. It compares this new catheter to standard catheters used in the past, and it is for adults who need hemodialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need hemodialysis using a tunneled catheter (a tube placed under the skin).
- You must be willing to give written consent to join.
- You must not have an uncontrolled infection in the 7 days before the catheter is placed.
- Your C-reactive protein (CRP) level must not be too high at screening (CRP is a blood test that shows inflammation).

This study compares two ways to access your blood for dialysis: a tunneled catheter (a soft tube placed in a large vein) versus an arteriovenous fistula (a connection made between an artery and a vein in your arm). It aims to find which one works better and is safer for older or sicker patients, so you can have a better dialysis experience.
This trial tests whether adding a special filter called pHA130 to your regular dialysis treatments can better remove certain waste products from your blood and improve your quality of life. It's for people who have been on dialysis for at least 3 months and meet a few health requirements.
This study tests a new device that lets you use just one needle for dialysis instead of two. It might make treatments more comfortable and simpler.
This study tests whether putting a small cap containing chlorhexidine (a germ-killing medicine) on the end of the dialysis catheter can prevent serious bloodstream infections. If you are on dialysis with a catheter, this may help reduce your risk of infection.
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 a new way to reopen blocked or narrowed fistulas (the blood vessels used for dialysis) in people on hemodialysis. The goal is to see how well it works and if it saves money compared to other treatments.
