New home care model for kidney disease tested – no dialysis needed
NCT ID NCT06411613
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tested a home-based conservative care program for veterans with advanced chronic kidney disease who chose not to start dialysis. The program involved a team of doctors, nurses, and other specialists providing care at home. Only 2 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated, so the main goal was to see if this approach was feasible and acceptable to patients and their caregivers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
conservative care program (home-based, multidisciplinary team)
What this could lead to
If successful, this model could offer a supportive, non-dialysis care option for people with advanced kidney disease, improving quality of life and aligning care with patient preferences.
What could go wrong
This was a very small pilot study (only 2 participants) that was terminated early, so results are limited. The approach may not work for everyone or in other healthcare settings.
