STARgraft (10401) hemodialysis graft pilot
This pilot will try the STARgraft (10401) hemodialysis access graft in adults with end-stage kidney disease who need a prosthetic arteriovenous graft to see if it is safe and works well.
-
When to give dialysis before surgery in kidney failure patients
This study tests whether having same-day dialysis before non-emergency surgery is feasible and safe for people with end-stage kidney disease.
-
Thiazide diuretics to lower blood pressure in people on peritoneal dialysis
This trial will try a daily 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide pill to lower blood pressure in people on peritoneal dialysis whose blood pressure is above 140/90.
-
Amplifi Vein Dilation System to Aid AV Fistula Maturation in ESRD
This study tests whether the Amplifi Vein Dilation System can help veins dilate and AVF maturation in adults with ESRD who need a distal AVF for hemodialysis.
-
Plant-focused diet to improve nutrition in malnourished adults on peritoneal dialysis.
This trial will test whether a plant-focused diet helps malnourished adults on peritoneal dialysis improve their nutrition and health over six months.
-
Sensor-based congestion alert for people on peritoneal dialysis
This study tests whether the Bodyport Cardiac Scale can help predict worsening fluid overload events in adults receiving automated peritoneal dialysis.
-
GLP-1 receptor agonist in people on maintenance dialysis
This test will see if weekly semaglutide is safe and doable for people on long-term dialysis who have type 2 diabetes.
-
Comparing two types of dialyzers for ESKD patients with sepsis
This study is testing whether a new type of dialyzer can help patients with end-stage kidney disease and sepsis live longer and have better health outcomes compared to a standard dialyzer.
