Remote monitoring may keep dialysis patients safer at home
NCT ID NCT07798024
First seen Sep 01, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an integrated remote patient monitoring system can improve outcomes for adults on automated peritoneal dialysis. The system collects daily treatment data from the dialysis machine and gives clinicians more frequent feedback. Researchers will compare patients using this monitoring to a historical group who did not use it, looking at rates of death, heart problems, infections, and technique failure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Integrated remote patient monitoring (IRPM), a system that collects daily treatment data from the dialysis machine and provides feedback to clinicians
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could reduce complications like infections and heart problems, and help patients stay on peritoneal dialysis longer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a non-randomized study with a historical control group, so results may be influenced by differences between groups. The monitoring system itself does not directly treat disease, and benefits may be modest.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Incident PD patients with age ≥18 years; * For APD-IRPM group, patients preferred to use the APD machine of Homechoice Claria®; * For Control group, patients treated with APD therapy (without RPM system) at the initiation of PD; * Signed an informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Peritonitis occurred within 6 weeks before the baseline assessment. * Urinary catheter was removed or abdominal surgery was performed within 60 days before the baseline assessment. * Patients who have severe cognitive impairment or mental illness, rendering them unable to complete the follow-up.
