-
Effect of pHA130 Hemoadsorption with Hemodialysis in Kidney Failure
Aims to see if adding the pHA130 hemoadsorption cartridge to dialysis helps reduce protein-bound toxins in people with end-stage kidney failure on maintenance dialysis.
-
Laser acupuncture for fatigue in adults on hemodialysis
This trial tests whether low-level laser acupuncture can reduce fatigue and improve quality of life for adults with end-stage kidney disease who are on regular hemodialysis, compared with a sham treatment.
-
GGTA1 KO pig kidney with thymus for people with end-stage kidney failure
This test tries a genetically modified pig kidney with attached thymus tissue (GGTA1 KO Thymokidney) in people with end-stage kidney failure who either can't get a human donor kidney or are unlikely to get one within five years.
-
AP301, an iron-based phosphate binder, for people on dialysis with high blood phosphate
This study will test whether the iron-based drug AP301 can lower high blood phosphate in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on maintenance dialysis.
-
10 GE Xenokidney transplant for people with end-stage kidney disease
This program will test whether a genetically engineered pig kidney (the 10 GE Xenokidney) can safely replace failed kidneys and help adults with end-stage renal disease who are either ineligible for or unlikely to receive a human transplant.
