New drug aims to stop blood clots during dialysis
NCT ID NCT07201467
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a drug called KN060 in 12 adults with end-stage kidney disease who are on regular hemodialysis. The goal is to see if KN060 is safe and can prevent blood clots from forming in the dialysis machine or the patient's blood vessels. Participants will receive the drug every two weeks for 12 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- KN060 (a drug to prevent blood clots)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, KN060 could help prevent dangerous blood clots in dialysis machines and fistulas, making dialysis safer for kidney patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small trial (12 people) focused on safety. The drug may not work as hoped, and side effects like bleeding are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female subjects aged between 18 and 80 years (inclusive); 2. 1 8 kg /m \^2 \<BMI \<2 8 kg /m\^2 ; 3. Diagnosis of ESRD and be receiving regular, stable hemodialysis treatment within the three months prior to screening: dialysis is performed through a functional, non-infected graft arteriovenous fistula / autologous arteriovenous fistula ( AVG/AVF ) ; dialysis is performed three times per week, with at least 3.5 hours per session ( at least 75% of dialysis sessions within the four weeks prior to randomization meet the this criteria) ; 4. The clinical status of the underlying ESRD is stable (assessed by the investigator) ; 5. Kt/V ≥ 1.2 within 3 months before screening ; 6. Male subjects: From the time they sign the informed consent form until 3 months after the last dose of KN060 , they agree to take effective contraceptive measures and avoid sperm donation ( effective contraceptive methods include: consistent scientific use of condoms , vasectomy , or partners who have undergone tubal ligation or hysterectomy, or have an intrauterine device implanted, etc. ); 7. Women who are infertile and have no plans to have children (surgical infertility: such as after hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy , bilateral oophorectomy; or natural menopause: amenorrhea for ≥ 12 months and serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) at menopausal levels ). Exclusion Criteria: 1. A history of malignant tumor; 2. History of mechanical/artificial heart valve replacement surgery; 3. History of major medical events within 3 months before screening , such as acute coronary syndrome, stroke , major organ bleeding, acute heart failure, systemic thromboembolic events , major surgery, etc. , or history of AVF/AVG functional loss; 4. Using anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs due to disease treatment , such as warfarin , dabigatran, rivaroxaban , clopidogrel , or aspirin \>100 mg/day (investigators are allowed to use heparin / low molecular weight heparin during dialysis, depending on the situation ); 5. There is a high risk of bleeding, or abnormal bleeding-related indicators: 1) Bleeding requiring hospitalization or clinically significant active bleeding within 3 months before screening ; prolonged arteriovenous fistula compression time within the past month; 2) Platelet count (PLT) \<100 × 10\^ 9 /L ( PLT between 75-100 × 10\^9 /L , determined by the investigator after comprehensive evaluation), hemoglobin ( Hb ) \< 90 g/L ; 3) Normalized ratio INR\>1.4 , activated partial thromboplastin time ( APTT ) \> 1.2 times ULN ; 4) Liver disease-related laboratory abnormalities: increased bleeding risk due to coagulation disorders , alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> 3 times ULN , aspartate aminotransferase ( AST) \> 3 times ULN , total bilirubin (TB) \> 2 times ULN and direct bilirubin proportion \> 20%; 5) Poor blood pressure control in the past month before screening (judged by the investigator, such as repeated diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg and/or systolic blood pressure ≥180 mmHg ) ; 6) Underwent brain, spinal or eye surgery (excluding cataract surgery) within three months before screening; 7) The patient has a bleeding disorder, a medical history that may increase the risk of bleeding, any condition that the investigator believes increases the risk of bleeding, or a history of severe bleeding disorders, such as massive gastrointestinal bleeding or cerebral hemorrhage ; 6. Supine blood pressure is \< 90/50 mmHg , or \> 170/100 mmHg (one retest is allowed) during screening; 7. Electrocardiogram during screening: heart rate \< 45 beats / min or \> 110 beats / min, QTcF \> 500 ms, any significant arrhythmia or conduction abnormality ( e.g. Second degree or above atrioventricular block, preexcitation syndrome (except those who have undergone radical radiofrequency ablation) , non-sustained or sustained ventricular tachycardia (one retest is allowed); 8. History (\<1 year) of drug or alcohol abuse or dependence before screening; 9. Have a history of allergy, or be allergic to the experimental drug/similar drugs or excipients; 10. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV ) infection, syphilis infection, active HBV infection (HBV -DNA\>ULN ), active HCV infection (HCV - RNA \> ULN ) ; 11. Participated in another clinical trial and received trial drugs within 3 months before screening (signing ICF); 12. Plan to receive a kidney transplant during the trial or within 3 months after completing this trial; 13. Xanthine, coffee (small amounts of caffeine from normal food sources, such as chocolate, are permitted), or alcohol cannot be prohibited during the study; 14. Any concomitant disease or condition that the investigator believes may interfere with the study drug, affect study data, or pose a risk to patient safety.
