The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the GGTA1 KO Thymokidney in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are either not eligible for conventional allogeneic kidney transplantation (Group 1) or are on an Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) kidney transplant waitlist, but are more likely to die or go untransplanted within 5 years than receive a kidney transplant (Group 2). The study consists of xenotransplantation followed by a 24-week Post-transplant Follow-up Period (Part A) to evaluate the efficacy and safety objectives followed by a Long-term Follow-up Period (Part B) to evaluate participant survival, GGTA1 KO Thymokidney survival, and screening for zoonotic infections. Part B will continue for the lifetime of the participant or for 52 weeks following nephrectomy, if required.

The study is a 2-arm randomized controlled trial among patients referred for kidney transplant evaluation at a single transplant center to compare the effects of a digital-analog intervention to increase living-donor kidney transplant access (KidneyTIME+) with or without human guide . Following consent and baseline assessment, participants are randomized, stratified by self-reported race, with equal allocation to 2 treatment arms: the KidneyTIME+ intervention with or without human guide.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if AP301 could work in the patients receiving maintenance dialysis with elevated blood phosphate. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does AP301 lower blood phosphate levels? * Does AP301 works on serum calcium level, calcium times phosphate level, and intact parathyroid hormone level? * What discomfort or medical problem do the patients have when taking AP301? * Does AP301 improve quality of life in Chinese patients? The researchers will compare AP301 to an ineffective comparator (a look-alike substance that contains low dose AP301) to see if AP301 works to treat elevated blood phosphate. In the study, the patients will experience the following stages in a chronicle order: * Stop all using blood phosphate-lowering drugs, * Take AP301 or the comparator three times a day for 8 weeks, * Take AP301 three times a day for 24 weeks, and * Take AP301 or the comparator three times a day for 3 weeks. In the first 32 weeks, the dose of AP301 will be adjusted upwards or downwards based on the patient's blood phosphate level and the study doctor's judgment. If the participant has a blood phosphate level above or below a certain level, they may receive additional treatment to lower the blood phosphate level.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the 10 GE Xenokidney in patients with ESRD who are either not eligible for conventional allogeneic kidney transplantation (Group 1) or are on an Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) kidney transplant waitlist, but are more likely to die or go untransplanted within 5 years than receive a kidney transplant (Group 2). The study consists of xenotransplantation followed by a 24-week Post-transplant Follow up Period (Part A) to evaluate the efficacy and safety objectives followed by a Long-term Follow-up Period (Part B) to evaluate participant survival, 10 GE Xenokidney survival, and screening for zoonotic infections. Part B will continue for the lifetime of the participant.

Fatigue is the most common symptom reported by end-stage kidney disease patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Unfortunately, there currently is no medical management for this overwhelming feeling of tiredness. As a result, patients continue to suffer with poor quality of life and impaired daily activities. The purpose of this pilot trial is to find out if bupropion (a medicine commonly prescribed for stopping smoking, seasonal mood disorder, and depression) may help lessen fatigue in hemodialysis patients. In this study, hemodialysis participants will receive bupropion tablet orally three times a week during routine dialysis procedure for consecutive 8 weeks. Study participants will complete a battery of questionnaires to self-report fatigue, cognition, and quality of life. The study team will collect biological specimens. All these procedures will be performed at the dialysis clinic during routine dialysis procedure.

VasQ is an external support implant for arteriovenous fistulas created for dialysis access. This is a postmarket surveillance, prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled, open label trial enrolling 300 patients randomized into two study arms: * Treatment arm: End to side fistula supported with VasQ * Control: Standard of care end to side fistula

A multi-center, prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, staged, pivotal clinical study to evaluate the safety and performance of the aXess graft in subjects aged 18 and above, diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease, and possessing an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 20 ml/min, who intend to undergo hemodialysis but are considered unsuitable candidates for fistula creation by the investigating surgeon.

The purpose of this mixed methods study is to adapt CAPABLE as CAPABLE Transplant to accomplish two things: 1) To resolve barriers to being classified as active on the Kidney Transplant (KT) waitlist, 2) as a surgical prehabilitation intervention targeting the pre-frail/ frail KT waitlist population. It consists of two phases- an open label pilot and a randomized waitlist control trial, and 3) pilot test the feasibility and acceptability for CAPABLE Transplant in symptom and waitlist specific metrics amongst low-income active kidney transplant waitlist candidates.

This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center clinical trial for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients referred for creation of a new arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of SelfWrap, a bioabsorbable perivascular wrap.

The investigators aim to determine, using a point-of-care randomized controlled trial design, if hemodialysis patients, who are randomized to metoprolol succinate (a dialyzable, beta-1 selective beta blocker), have an improved cardiovascular outcome compared to those randomized to carvedilol (a non-dialyzable, non-selective beta blocker with alpha-1 antagonist properties). The investigators will also examine intervention practices to identify components that best support engagement and sustainability.

Post market registry to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel decellularized human femoral artery allograft (Nexeon AVX Decellularized Femoral Artery,

This study is to prospectively compare clinical effectiveness between clinically- matched incremental hemodialysis and conventional hemodialysis in patients with incident kidney dysfunction requiring dialysis and residual kidney function. The study will enroll 350 patients on chronic hemodialysis and 140 caregivers of enrolled patients. Patients will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to either incremental start hemodialysis or conventional hemodialysis. Caregivers will be followed along with patients for an average period of 2 years post randomization.
