Repletion of Ergothioneine in Patients With Kidney Failure

  • No phase
  • Stanford University
  • About 28 people
  • Started Apr 1, 2025

In plain words A study of ergothioneine in people 18 and older, run by Stanford University. It plans to enroll about 28 people at 1 US site.

Who it lists and where

Who the trial lists, as registered

Lists people 18 and older. Conditions: Esrd.

  • kidney failure receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis

The exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

Ergothioneine; Placebo

Registered summary

Dialysis removes potentially harmful chemicals from the blood but can also remove potentially valuable chemicals. One potentially valuable chemical called ergothioneine, which comes from the diet, is low in the blood of people receiving dialysis. For this research study, the investigators hope to learn how well a daily ergothioneine supplement will replenish the levels in the blood of people with kidney failure.

Registered summary

As the population ages, the growing prevalence of age-related diseases is creating substantial challenges for healthcare systems worldwide. Current therapeutic strategies often target individual diseases and decrease mortality without improving healthspan. The geroscience hypothesis suggests that targeting the ageing process itself could prevent, delay, or manage the severity of multiple age-related diseases concurrently, thereby improving overall healthspan and reducing healthcare burdens.
