Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT05758077Recruiting
SeLective blood-filter trial for acute kidney injury in ICU
This trial tests a special device that filters parts of the blood to calm inflammation in people with severe acute kidney injury in the ICU. It may help improve recovery and reduce complications by “deactivating” certain immune cells.
Wilkes-Barre, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06517810Recruiting
QUELIMMUNE pediatric surveillance registry
This registry tracks children treated with QUELIMMUNE therapy to see how well it works over time. It helps doctors learn more about the treatment's safety and effects in kids.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 22 years - NCT06921603Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided diuretics for heart failure
This trial tests whether using a bedside ultrasound to guide diuretic treatment improves outcomes in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure. It may help find the right dose of IV diuretics faster.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06954129RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two antibiotic combos for infection and kidney safety
This trial compares two common antibiotic combinations to see which one is less likely to cause kidney injury in hospitalized patients. You may be eligible if you need treatment with vancomycin plus either piperacillin-tazobactam or cefepime.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07215702RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a drug for kidney injury from sepsis in the ICU
This trial tests if a new drug, AZD4144, can help people with sepsis-related acute kidney injury in the ICU. It aims to see if the drug can improve kidney recovery and reduce complications.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT06823115Enrolling by invitation
Worldwide study of kidney injury in newborns
This study looks at how common acute kidney injury is in newborns in the intensive care unit. It helps doctors understand which babies are at risk and how to prevent kidney problems.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–2 weeks - NCT04982419RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Remote arm treatment to protect heart and kidneys in heart failure
This trial tests whether a simple “arm cuff” treatment done before a heart artery procedure can help protect the kidneys and the heart in people with congestive heart failure. If it works, it may lower the chance of kidney injury around the time of the scan/stent procedure.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Danville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06027788Recruiting
Embolic protection during heart valve surgery
This trial tests a device that may help protect your brain from small particles during heart valve surgery. It is for people 60 and older having certain types of valve replacement or repair.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06150742Recruiting
Nafamostat for dialysis patients who can't use heparin
This trial tests a new medicine called nafamostat to prevent blood clots during continuous dialysis (CRRT), for people who are at high risk of bleeding or can't take heparin.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT07084129RecruitingPhase 1
Vancomycin and kidney injury study for children with sepsis
This trial tests a different way of giving vancomycin to children with sepsis to reduce the risk of kidney injury. It compares standard dosing to an approach that adjusts dose based on how the kidneys are working.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1 month–17 years - NCT07428395Enrolling by invitation
Monitoring during continuous kidney replacement therapy in the ICU
This study tests a new way to monitor patients while they receive continuous kidney replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) in the ICU. It aims to see if this monitoring can be done safely and smoothly, helping doctors track your treatment better.

What taking part in a acute kidney injury study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there acute kidney injury clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 12 recruiting acute kidney injury studies with a site in Pennsylvania, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a acute kidney injury study in Pennsylvania?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute kidney injury trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
