New dialysis machine could let kidney patients treat themselves at home
NCT ID NCT06613568
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a new dialysis machine called Moda-flx for people with end-stage kidney disease who are already on stable dialysis. The goal is to see if the machine is safe and works well both in a clinic and at home when used by trained patients or care partners. About 50 adults aged 18 to 80 will take part. The study compares how well the machine removes waste and fluids, and tracks any side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * Are between 18 and 80 years of age and Care Partner is at least 18 years of age at the time of signing consent. * Have a diagnosis of end stage kidney disease (ESKD) adequately treated by maintenance dialysis (defined as achieving a spKt/V ≥ 1.2 OR stdKt/V ≥ 2.1) and be deemed stable by their treating nephrologist prior to the end of the Screening Period * Have a well-functioning and stable vascular access (tunneled central venous catheter arteriovenous fistula, or graft) that allows a blood flow of at least 300 ml/min prior to the end of Screening * Can successfully complete a Skills and Comprehension Assessment with a Care Partner prior to the completion of the Training Period. Exclusion Criteria: * Hgb level of \< 9 g/dL at Screening * Symptomatic intradialytic hypotension requiring medical intervention (ultrafiltration turned off, bolus of fluid) in at least two treatments during the Run-In period defined as: 1. Persistent pre-dialysis sitting SBP \< 100 mmHg despite medical therapy, 2. Nadir intradialytic Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) \< 90 mmHg, if Subject's pre-HD SBP \< 160 mmHg 3. Nadir intradialytic SBP \< 100 mmHg if Subject's pre-HD SBP ≥ 160 mmHg * Documented history of non-adherence to dialysis therapy that would prevent successful completion of the study * Participant had an average ultrafiltration rate \> 13 mL/kg/hour during the last 2 weeks prior to Screening, per medical records. * Had a significant cardiovascular adverse event within the last 90 days prior to Screening.
