NCT ID NCT06189807
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests a new educational tool to help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) make informed decisions about pregnancy and contraception. About 70 participants will receive a decision aid before a routine nephrology appointment and then complete a survey to measure how prepared they feel to make reproductive health choices. The study focuses on whether this approach is feasible and acceptable, paving the way for a larger trial.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
decision aid (educational materials about pregnancy and contraception)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a larger study that helps people with chronic kidney disease make better-informed decisions about pregnancy and birth control.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It measures decision-making readiness, not health outcomes like pregnancy or kidney function.
