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.

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
