What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study looks at whether adding more magnesium to the fluid used during dialysis can help people with kidney failure live longer and have fewer heart-related hospital stays. Many dialysis patients have low magnesium, which can lead to muscle cramps and heart issues. The trial involves about 25,000 patients across many dialysis centers, comparing standard magnesium levels to higher ones. If it works, this cheap change could become the new standard of care.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 25,000 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Apr 2022

Expected to finish

Apr 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion (Hemodialysis Center Level): 1. The hemodialysis center must be expected to treat at least 15 different individuals with facility-based maintenance hemodialysis over the trial period. 2. The hemodialysis center must use a system permitting the adoption of the randomly allocated dialysate Mg concentration (e.g., centers using BiCart® dialysate products, which do not include a dialysate Mg concentration of 0.75 mmol/L, were not eligible to participate). 3. The medical director, in consultation with local partners, must approve the randomization of their center and the adoption of the allocated dialysate Mg concentration as a center-wide policy for the trial period.
