Race against poison: can early dialysis beat the clock?
NCT ID NCT06966765
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two approaches to dialysis in people who have been severely poisoned by the herbicide diquat. One group starts dialysis right away after a blood-cleaning procedure, while the other waits until kidney damage appears. The goal is to see if earlier dialysis reduces deaths. The trial will involve 267 adults across multiple hospitals.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (a type of dialysis)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could establish a new standard for treating severe diquat poisoning, potentially saving more lives by starting dialysis sooner.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single trial with 267 participants, and earlier dialysis may not improve survival and could increase complications like bleeding or infection.
