Trial to Evaluate and Assess the Effect of Comprehensive Pre-ESKD Education on Home Dialysis Use in Veterans
NCT04064086 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study is intended to correct an important systemic deficit in the care of chronic kidney disease (CKD), VHA's fourth most common healthcare condition with high mortality and healthcare burden. Currently, many Veterans with CKD have poor awareness of their condition. This leads to suboptimal care. The investigators anticipate that the proposed comprehensive pre-end stage renal disease (ESRD) education (CPE) will enhance Veterans' CKD knowledge and their confidence in making an informed selection of an appropriate dialysis modality, and lead to an increase in the use of home dialysis (HoD) - an evidence-based, yet underutilized dialysis modality. Further, this study will allow us to examine whether such Veteran-informed dialysis choice can improve Veteran and health services outcomes. If successful, this study may deliver a ready to roll-out strategy to meet the CKD care needs of the Veterans and reduce VHA healthcare costs.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04064086
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04064086 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 656 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is VA Office of Research and Development, which has 1,863 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Chronic Kidney Disease appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Comprehensive Pre-ESRD Patient Education (CPE) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04064086 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Florida. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
