Comparing two types of dialysis for kidney failure
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have end-stage kidney disease (kidney failure requiring dialysis)
- You have been on dialysis at least 3 months, with sessions 3 times a week
- You have been stable (no hospital stays or sudden illness) for the past 4 weeks
- You do not have recent heart problems, uncontrolled high blood pressure, active infection, or bleeding problems

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 three experimental antibodies given to people with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. It aims to see if these drugs are safe and how they affect blood clotting in this group.
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.
This study compares a specific way of removing fluid during dialysis (isolated ultrafiltration) with conventional hemodialysis. It aims to see how each approach affects blood flow and fluid shifts in people with end-stage kidney disease.
This study compares three types of dialysis filters to see which works best at removing waste from your blood and improving your health outcomes. If you receive regular hemodialysis at a clinic, this trial may help doctors understand which filter type is most effective for you.
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.
