NCT ID NCT06032208

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing whether a new type of dialyzer, called Theranova, can help reduce common symptoms like pain, fatigue, and poor sleep in people with end-stage renal disease who are on dialysis. About 100 participants will use their usual dialyzer for the first 4 weeks and then switch to the Theranova dialyzer for 24 weeks, reporting their symptoms through a simple app. The goal is to see if removing larger toxins from the blood improves how patients feel.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Theranova dialyzer (a device used during hemodialysis to remove larger toxins)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to better symptom management and improved quality of life for people on dialysis.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage extension study with no control group, so results may not be conclusive. The new dialyzer may not significantly improve symptoms compared to standard care.
