Recruiting studies
- NCT07426380RecruitingPhase 1
Study of eloralintide in people with and without kidney problems
This trial tests how the body handles eloralintide in people with different levels of kidney function, including those on dialysis. It may help determine if the drug is safe and effective for patients with kidney issues.
Miami Lakes, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT05677100Recruiting
Aortix device for acute heart failure
This trial is testing a small pump placed in the aorta to help the kidneys remove extra fluid when standard IV diuretics aren't working well enough for severe heart failure. It may help you if you're hospitalized and still very congested (swollen, fluid buildup) despite strong water pills.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT06253104Recruiting
Tracking muscle changes in acute heart failure
This study measures how thigh muscles change in people hospitalized with severe heart failure. It aims to understand muscle loss during this condition and how it relates to recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT05325008RecruitingPhase 3
IVIG treatment for BK virus after kidney transplant
This Phase 3 trial tests IVIG (an antibody medicine given through a vein) to treat BK virus infection after kidney or pancreas-kidney transplant. It may help lower the BK virus in the blood and protect the transplanted kidney.
Canberra, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 2 years+ - NCT06167512Recruiting
Study on kidney cell changes after severe injury
This study looks at how kidney cells change their energy use after a severe injury. It may help doctors understand and treat kidney damage in trauma patients.
Le Kremlin-BicêtreAges 18 years+ - NCT06026436Recruiting
Predicting clot and bleeding risk in kidney disease patients after a heart attack
This trial tests whether a blood test looking at platelets and tiny cell particles can help predict future blood clots or bleeding in people who have both chronic kidney disease and a recent heart attack. The goal is to improve treatment safety.
MarseilleAges 18–90 - NCT07442448Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Study of Finerenone for heart and kidney health in diabetes
This trial tests a medication called Finerenone to see if it can improve heart structure and function in people with both diabetic kidney disease and heart failure. If you have type 2 diabetes, kidney problems, and heart failure with preserved pumping function, this study may explore a new treatment option for you.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05836922Recruiting
Checking kidney oxygen after lung transplant to predict kidney injury
This pilot study looks at whether a painless skin sensor can measure kidney oxygen levels after lung transplant surgery. The goal is to predict and possibly prevent postoperative kidney failure by identifying risk early.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05525663Recruiting
Rehab for older adults after heart failure with strong pumping
This trial studies whether a physical rehabilitation program helps older adults recover and function better after a recent hospital stay for heart failure when the heart’s pumping strength is preserved. It may help you regain walking ability and daily independence after your episode.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 60 years+ - NCT06286423RecruitingPhase 4
Colchicine for acute heart failure with low pumping strength
This trial tests if the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine can help people hospitalized with acute heart failure and a weak heart pump. It may benefit those with elevated inflammation markers.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05349292Recruiting
Check hemodilution’s effect on urine kidney stress markers
This study tests a technique used during planned heart bypass surgery to see whether it changes substances measured in urine that reflect kidney stress or injury. If you have upcoming elective bypass surgery, your team may collect blood and urine samples to study how your kidneys respond.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT04626167RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a bladder transplant done with a kidney transplant
This early-phase study is testing a combined bladder and kidney transplant approach for people whose bladder problems damage the kidneys. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve bladder and kidney outcomes and be done safely.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 1–60 - NCT07394959Recruiting
Guided hydration to protect kidneys in elderly heart patients
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during heart procedures to prevent kidney injury. It uses a special vest that measures lung fluid to guide how much hydration you get.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 60 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+ - NCT07324694Recruiting
Stable blood pressure during heart surgery and recovery
This study looks at how changes in blood pressure during heart surgery affect recovery. If you are having scheduled heart surgery with a heart-lung machine, you may be able to join.
Diyarbakır, DiyarbakırAges 18 years+ - NCT04671771Recruiting
Testing a new graft for hemodialysis access in kidney failure
This study tests whether an “AV graft” implant works safely and well for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. It may help your dialysis access last and work better, compared with current expectations for AV grafts.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–90 - NCT04750616RecruitingPhase 2
NAD+ for heart injury prevention around non-emergency surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding NAD+ can reduce heart muscle injury around scheduled heart surgery. It may help protect the heart (and possibly kidneys) in people considered higher risk for complications.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT05399537RecruitingPhase 3
Testing citrate fluid safety during kidney filtration (CRRT)
This Phase 3 study checks whether Prismocitrate 18 is safe for adults who need a kidney filtration treatment called CRRT. It is mainly for people who cannot safely use heparin (a common blood thinner) due to bleeding risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06179771Recruiting
Filter during dialysis or ECMO for severe illness
This study tests a special filter (HA380 column) used during dialysis or ECMO to remove harmful substances from the blood. It is for critically ill patients with severe infection, injury, or breathing problems who also need kidney or lung support.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18–65 - NCT06234592Recruiting
Blood pressure medicines and kidney health in septic shock
This trial tests whether different blood pressure medicines protect kidney function better in people with septic shock (a severe infection that causes low blood pressure). It compares norepinephrine (the standard treatment) with other options to see which is best for the kidneys.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06341933Recruiting
Kidney risk after lung cancer surgery (VATS)
This study looks at why some people develop kidney problems after lung cancer surgery using small incisions (VATS). By tracking your recovery, the doctors hope to find ways to protect your kidneys during and after surgery.
Ankara, KeçiörenAges 18–65 - NCT06369064Recruiting
Comparing dialysis methods for kidney injury in the ICU
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration) to see which is better at removing waste from the blood in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute kidney failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 125 recruiting acute kidney failure 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 failure 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 failure 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.
