This study tests a new artificial blood vessel (graft) for people with end-stage kidney disease who need dialysis but cannot get a standard fistula. The graft is placed in the arm to allow easy access for dialysis. Researchers will check how safe the graft is and how well it work…

This study tests a new robotic surgery system (Medtronic Hugo™) in 144 adults needing urologic procedures like prostate, bladder, or kidney surgery. The goal is to see if the robot helps surgeons complete the operation without switching to other methods, and to track any serious …

This study looks at whether giving extra nutrition through a vein during dialysis (called IDPN) helps kidney patients maintain muscle mass and improve their quality of life. About 166 adults on long-term dialysis will receive IDPN or standard care. The main goal is to see if it p…

This study looks at whether a drug called nicorandil can lower the risk of heart problems like heart attacks, strokes, and heart-related death in people who have both coronary artery disease and end-stage kidney disease and are on dialysis. About 268 adults are taking part. The g…

This study tests a virtual health platform that provides exercise, nutrition, and psychological support to people on hemodialysis. The goal is to improve walking ability, quality of life, and overall well-being. About 70 adults with end-stage kidney disease who are stable on dial…

This study looks at whether a special education program helps veterans with advanced chronic kidney disease learn more about their condition and make informed choices about dialysis. About 656 veterans will take part, with some receiving the program and others getting standard ca…
