Clinical Trials

MY TEMP

Major cardiovascular and other patient important outcomes with personalized dialysate temperature, a cluster trial involving all 80 participating dialysis centres in Ontario assessing mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in dialysis patients.

  • This is a study that randomizes, or selects dialysis units randomly, to either have usual dialysate [the solution that helps remove toxins that develop from kidney failure] temperature, versus dialysate temperature that is cooler than the normal prescription.
  • Enrollment is by dialysis unit.

    • Enrollment is still ongoing.

Olympus Study

An international trial to investigate a new molecule, Roxadustat, in the treatment of anemia in kidney disease.

Enrollment complete
    • This study looks at a new class of molecule, Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitors (HIF-PHI) to keep active the pathway that stimulates an increase in hemoglobin (red blood cell production).
