New Recruiting Trial: Safety and Tolerability of Difelikefalin in Adolescents on Haemodialysis With Moderate-to-Severe Pruritus

Researchers are testing a new medicine called difelikefalin to see if it's safe and works well for teenagers on kidney dialysis who have severe itching. Itching is a common problem for dialysis patients that can really affect their quality of life. This study will check whether the medicine helps reduce itching and what side effects it might cause.

WHY IT MATTERSThis is the first trial testing difelikefalin specifically in adolescents on hemodialysis with moderate-to-severe pruritus — a condition that significantly impacts quality of life but has limited treatment options for younger patients.
