Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intravenous Sodium Thiosulfate Injection for treatment of acute calciphylaxis-associated pain in chronic hemodialysis patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine non-inferiority in safety and efficacy when Quanta SC+ is used in the self-care home environment compared to a hemodialysis facility.

The purpose of this study is to assess the serum potassium and cardiac rhythm trends in subjects with end stage renal disease (ESRD) who are on 3 times weekly maintenance hemodialysis for at least 60 days.

Our aim is to analyze changes in global and/or regional myocardial mechanics of the left and right ventricle before and after hemodialysis.

The purpose of this study is to see how hemodialysis patients respond to a very low dose of Avastin (bevacizumab) by measuring the concentration of the medication in the blood and determine how it affects a certain protein that we believe is partially responsible in the vascular narrowing process.

The purpose of this one group, repeated-measures pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits associated with a four-week Reiki intervention for individuals undergoing HD experiencing pain. This study will provide a foundation for future research that will evaluate the efficacy of Reiki in a larger randomized trial.

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end-point evaluation trial. The patient population consists of patients on hemodialysis who have atrial fibrillation (AF) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) .

The purpose of this research is to gather information on the effectiveness of an innovative device called the “DialySafe” intended to help reduce the chance of needle infiltrations during hemodialysis procedures.  The DialySafe concept is a light-based device intended to make the AV fistula and graft easily visible for needle insertion.  Light is generated from a red LED embedded in the surface of the device. The device will use transillumination technology to visualize the access, which consists of shining light directly into the skin where blood absorbs some of the light, resulting in a true representation of the ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of palliative care consultations on quality of life and advance care planning in end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis, evaluate hemodialysis patients’ and caregivers’ satisfaction with palliative care consultations, and to compare quality of life and advance directive completion in dialysis patients who have and have not received palliative care consultations.

The purpose of this study is to assess the extent and severity of plasma volume expansion and overload in patients requiring ultrafiltration/dialysis and determine the relationship of quantitated Blood Volume Analysis (BVA) to hemodynamic right heart measurements.

The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of a non-invasive approach to estimate potassium levels using surface ECG's from patients undergoing hemodialysis.

The purpose of this study is evaluate the safety of allogeneic adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell (AMSC) use during hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula and arterial bypass creation and its effectiveness on improving access maturation and primary anastomotic patency.
