END STAGE RENAL DISEASE ON DIALYSIS

This study follows people with end-stage kidney disease who need a vascular graft for hemodialysis. The GORE ACUSEAL graft is placed to create a reliable access point for dialysis. Researchers will track how often the graft becomes infected and how long it stays functional, aimin…

This study tests a new drug called AP306 in 168 adults on maintenance hemodialysis who have high phosphate levels (hyperphosphatemia). Participants take one of several fixed doses of AP306 or a placebo daily for 8 weeks. The main goal is to see if AP306 safely lowers blood phosph…

This trial tests whether a drug called coated aldehyde oxystarch (Xiqing) can reduce protein-bound uremic toxins in adults with end-stage renal disease who are on dialysis. Participants take the drug three times daily for three months. Researchers measure toxin levels in the bloo…

This study tests if empagliflozin, a diabetes drug, can reduce sugar absorption during peritoneal dialysis in 30 adults with end-stage kidney disease. Participants will receive either the drug or a placebo in a crossover design, followed by an 8-week open-label phase where everyo…

This study tests whether a program that combines gentle walking with progressive muscle relaxation can help reduce the extreme tiredness (fatigue) that many people with end-stage kidney disease feel while on dialysis. Researchers will enroll 40 adults who are on hemodialysis and …

This study watches what happens to the lungs when doctors use a balloon to clear a clot in a dialysis patient's arm graft. Using a special belt that takes pictures of lung activity, researchers will check if tiny clot pieces briefly affect how air and blood flow in the lungs. Twe…
