New dialysis fluid aims to cut sugar side effects

NCT ID NCT03994471

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests XyloCore, a dialysis solution with less glucose and added xylitol and L-carnitine, in 170 adults with end-stage kidney disease on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. The goal is to see if it can maintain dialysis effectiveness while improving metabolic health markers like blood sugar and cholesterol over 6 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
XyloCore (a mix of xylitol, low glucose, and L-carnitine)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a gentler dialysis option that reduces glucose-related side effects like high blood sugar and cholesterol.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with only 170 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new solution might not work as well as standard glucose solutions.
