Can new antibodies make dialysis safer by preventing clots without bleeding?
NCT ID NCT07759167
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests three experimental antibodies—REGN9933, REGN7508, and REGN9533—in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. The goal is to see if these antibodies can safely reduce blood clot risk during dialysis, potentially offering an alternative to standard heparin. The study focuses on safety, how the antibodies behave in the body, and their effect on blood clotting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Three experimental monoclonal antibodies (REGN9933, REGN7508, REGN9533) that target clotting proteins, given alongside standard heparin anticoagulation.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, these antibodies could offer a safer way to prevent blood clots during dialysis, reducing bleeding complications for people with end-stage kidney disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet established. The antibodies may not work as hoped or could cause unexpected side effects.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Has ESKD and has regular adherence receiving HD 3 times per week as described in the protocol 2. Is receiving heparin (standard of care) anticoagulation, with no history of intolerability, during each dialysis session 3. Has adequate vascular access 4.
