What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
HemoCare™ Hemodialysis SystemDevice
The HemoCare™ Hemodialysis System is intended for hemodialysis treatment, including short daily and nocturnal hemodialysis, of renal failure patients. The HemoCare™ Hemodialysis System is intended for use in chronic dialysis facilities, self-care dialysis facilities, or the home setting. All treatments must be prescribed by a physician and administered by a trained operator. Treatments must be performed under the supervision or assistance of a medical professional or a care partner who has been trained and deemed competent in the use of the device by the prescribing physician.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing HemoCare™ Hemodialysis System in people with End Stage Renal Disease, run by Deka Research and Development at 7 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Sep 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Subjects With Safety Event (time frame: 52 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04198012, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Sep 2025.
