New catheter coating could cut dialysis complications

NCT ID NCT07655544

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tests a new dialysis catheter coated with Endexo technology, designed to resist blood clots and reduce infections. Researchers will compare its performance to older catheters in 50 adults with end-stage kidney disease. If successful, it could improve quality of life and lower healthcare costs for dialysis patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

BioFlo Duramax catheter with Endexo technology

What this could lead to

If this works, it could mean fewer blocked catheters and infections for people on dialysis, making treatment smoother and safer.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study with only 50 people, comparing to past data rather than a direct head-to-head test. The new catheter may not perform better in larger trials.
