Recruiting studies
- NCT06180551Recruiting
Early kidney injury detection study in the ICU
This study tests a new way to diagnose acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) early in intensive care patients. It may help doctors catch kidney problems sooner and improve care.
Homburg, SaarlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07811544Enrolling by invitation
Immune system study for sepsis-related kidney injury after surgery
This study looks at how the immune system responds in patients who develop sepsis after surgery and how it relates to kidney injury. It aims to help improve care for conditions like this.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07760363Recruiting
Foot exercise device for leg swelling
This study tests if using a foot pedal device while lying down can help reduce leg swelling in the hospital. It aims to see if this simple exercise can improve comfort and outcomes for people with fluid buildup.
Tulsa, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07735182Recruiting
Gut bacteria and organ damage in sepsis
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and other signs in your body affect liver and kidney damage in people with sepsis. It also compares findings to healthy volunteers to see what is different.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07725497RecruitingPhase 2
Luspatercept for anemia from chronic kidney disease
This trial tests a drug called luspatercept to see if it can raise hemoglobin levels in people with anemia caused by chronic kidney disease. It's for those whose current treatments aren't working well or who cannot use them.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06570187RecruitingPhase 4
Dexmedetomidine for kidney protection in sepsis
This trial tests if dexmedetomidine, a sedative, can help protect the kidneys of critically ill patients with sepsis who develop acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). It is for adults in the ICU who need a breathing tube or mask within 48 hours of kidney injury.
CairoAges 18–90 - NCT07722585RecruitingPhase 1
New tablet study: absorption and food effects
This study tests a new form of the drug nurandociguat tablet to see how well it is absorbed compared to the old tablet, and whether food changes how it works. Healthy volunteers are needed to take the tablets and have their blood levels checked.
BerlinAges 18–58 - NCT07694544RecruitingPhase 1
Oral EC5026 study in people with kidney disease
This trial tests a medication called EC5026 in people with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD) to see how the body handles it. It helps understand if dose adjustments are needed for people with impaired kidney function.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 55 years+ - NCT07662135RecruitingPhase 3
A study of elecoglipron for type 2 diabetes with kidney problems
This trial tests a new medicine called elecoglipron to see if it helps control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes who also have reduced kidney function. You would continue taking your current SGLT2i medication (like dapagliflozin).
Sun City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05346393Recruiting
TIPS procedure for kidney failure in people with cirrhosis
This trial studies whether a liver procedure called TIPS can help people with cirrhosis who develop sudden kidney failure (HRS-AKI). It aims to improve kidney function and overall outcomes, but participation depends on several safety checks.
AachenAges 18–80 - NCT07638306Recruiting
Neck Vein Ultrasound and Kidney Function After Abdominal Surgery
This study uses ultrasound to look at a vein in your neck before and after major abdominal surgery to understand how surgery affects your kidneys. Researchers hope this simple imaging technique might help predict and prevent kidney problems after surgery.
Târgu Mureş, Mureș CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07633145Recruiting
Lifestyle Changes to Lower Blood Pressure in Kidney Disease
This study tests whether lifestyle changes—like diet and exercise—can help lower blood pressure in Black adults with moderate kidney disease. It's designed specifically for people at higher risk of kidney problems, and the goal is to see if these changes can slow kidney disease progression and reduce heart disease risk.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07635160Recruiting
Kidney Blood Flow Monitoring During Minimally Invasive Abdominal Surgery
This research study tests two imaging methods—ultrasound and a special light-based scanner—to monitor how well your kidneys receive blood during minimally invasive abdominal surgery. The goal is to understand kidney function better during this type of operation.
IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT06021288Recruiting
Standard vs. lower dose dialysis for kidney failure in intensive care
This trial compares the usual dose of continuous dialysis with a lower dose to see if a lower dose is just as safe and effective for critically ill patients with sudden kidney failure.
MünsterAges 18 years+ - NCT06714214Recruiting
Predicting when you can stop kidney dialysis
This trial studies whether a blood test called delta C-cistatin can help doctors predict when patients can safely stop continuous kidney dialysis after acute kidney injury.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07571746RecruitingPhase 2
Surovatamig for antibody-mediated kidney disease
This study tests a new medicine called surovatamig for adults with a specific type of kidney disease caused by the body's own antibodies (anti-PLA2R antibody-positive membranous nephropathy). The medicine may help reduce kidney damage and improve kidney function.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05830669Recruiting
Remote preconditioning therapy for newly sick sepsis patients
This trial studies whether a “remote preconditioning” treatment given during early sepsis can help protect the kidneys and improve outcomes. It is for adults in the ICU very soon after sepsis begins.
MünsterAges 18 years+ - NCT07522099RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ADARx Treatment for Kidney Disease in Chinese Adults
This study tests a new ADARx medicine in Chinese adults with specific types of kidney disease (IgAN, C3G, or IC-MPGN). The goal is to see if this treatment can slow kidney damage and help preserve kidney function.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07522008Recruiting
Testing a blood-cleaning add-on for dialysis symptom relief
This trial tests whether adding a special blood-filtering device (hemoadsorption) to your regular dialysis treatment can reduce uncomfortable symptoms caused by kidney failure, like fatigue or itching. Researchers will track how you feel over time compared to standard dialysis alone.
Cagliari, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07499856Enrolling by invitation
Exercise and mindfulness during dialysis
This trial tests whether combining exercise with mindfulness (a mental relaxation technique) during dialysis sessions can improve well-being. You watch videos that guide you through exercises and mindfulness while receiving treatment.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT07481526Recruiting
Chronic kidney disease registry study
This study is collecting information from people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to understand how the disease progresses over time. It does not test any new treatments, so you keep your usual care.
Anning, Yunnan - South RegionAges Any age - NCT07462780RecruitingPhase 1
Testing CMS-D017 in Healthy Volunteers
This trial tests a new investigational drug called CMS-D017 in healthy volunteers. Researchers will give single and multiple doses to see how the body processes it and if it's safe. You could help find an important new treatment.

Comparing low vs standard dialysis in ICU patients
This trial compares a lower dose versus a standard dose of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT) for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI — sudden kidney failure). It aims to see if lower doses are safe and effective.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 305 recruiting acute kidney disease studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acute kidney disease trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute kidney disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
