Ultrasound to predict kidney injury after trauma
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with contrast agent can help predict if you might develop acute kidney injury after a serious trauma. It focuses on patients in the ICU who have had a major injury and received blood products.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07020117RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AKY-1189 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, AKY-1189, for people with solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed. It may help if other treatments have stopped working.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07811570Recruiting
Finding early signs of kidney damage after heart surgery
This study looks for early signs in your blood or urine that can predict if you might develop kidney damage after heart or blood vessel surgery. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier so they can protect their kidneys.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06685367Recruiting
AI software for predicting acute kidney injury in ICU
This trial tests software that uses artificial intelligence to predict if a patient in the ICU might develop acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage). It aims to see if the software is cost-effective and could help doctors catch problems earlier.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT05988658Recruiting
Using scores and biomarkers to predict kidney injury in hospital patients
This study uses a risk score and blood tests to predict which hospitalized patients might develop acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage). If you are at high risk, researchers will follow you closely to see if early detection can help prevent serious kidney problems.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04404114Recruiting
Shear wave ultrasound to tell acute from chronic kidney disease
This study checks whether a special ultrasound can help tell whether kidney problems started suddenly (acute) or have been present longer (chronic). It may help doctors choose the right next steps faster in the emergency room.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05730816RecruitingPhase 2
Magnesium to help protect kidneys during high-risk chest surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving magnesium by IV can help prevent sudden kidney injury around the time of certain major chest (thoracic) cancer surgeries. If you qualify, you may receive magnesium or a comparison treatment to see if kidney protection improves after surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05805709Recruiting
COPE-AKI: A care plan for people hospitalized with serious AKI
This trial tests a patient-centered plan for how care is organized and communicated for people hospitalized with serious, persistent kidney injury (AKI). The goal is to improve the experience and possibly outcomes by making care more consistent and easier to follow.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05147831Recruiting
Remote arm treatment to prevent kidney injury from contrast dye
This trial tests whether a simple “arm conditioning” technique done remotely before a procedure can help prevent kidney injury caused by contrast dye used during certain heart catheter tests. You might benefit if you’re having a coronary angiogram and your kidney function is reduced, but you’re not on dialysis.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04216927RecruitingPhase 3
Neonates on heart-lung bypass get NO to prevent kidney injury
This Phase 3 study tests whether not giving nitric oxide during heart-lung bypass in newborns helps reduce the risk of acute kidney injury. It focuses on newborns having heart surgery for congenital heart disease.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1 day–1 month - NCT04279457RecruitingPhase 4
Test whether special dye helps protect kidney function during heart procedures
This trial studies whether a device called Dye-Vert Plus can lower the risk of kidney injury from contrast dye during heart catheter procedures (CAG and/or PCI). It focuses on people at higher kidney risk, especially those with diabetes or high blood pressure.
Charleston, West VirginiaAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT06259760Recruiting
Kidney risk after low-blood-pressure anesthesia for jaw surgery
This study looks at factors that may increase the risk of kidney injury during jaw surgery when a special low-blood-pressure anesthesia technique is used. It helps doctors understand who is more likely to have complications.
Kaohsiung City, Sanmin DistAges 18–65 - NCT06416761Recruiting
Genetics and kidney disease progression study
This study looks at how genetics affect the progression of kidney diseases. Joining may help researchers understand your condition better and find better treatments.
MilanAges 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+ - NCT07749417Recruiting
Detecting kidney injury early after heart procedures
This study tests a new light-based method to check kidney function right after heart surgery or imaging tests that use contrast dye. It aims to catch kidney damage early, so doctors can treat it sooner.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07683975RecruitingPhase 4
Infliximab for kidney injury caused by immunotherapy
This study tests whether infliximab can treat kidney damage caused by immune checkpoint inhibitor cancer therapy. It aims to see if this medication helps patients recover kidney function after injury from their cancer treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07661940RecruitingPhase 2
SP16 for kidney protection during heart surgery
This trial tests a drug called SP16 to see if it can prevent acute kidney injury in people with chronic kidney disease who are having elective heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. It aims to help preserve kidney function after surgery.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 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 - NCT06372444Recruiting
Kidney injury in severe infections study
This study looks at how severe infections like sepsis can hurt the kidneys. By using special scans (PET-CT), researchers hope to better understand why this happens, which could lead to better treatments.
UppsalaAges 30 years+ - NCT07569588Recruiting
Understanding kidney injury recovery after hospitalization
This study helps doctors better assess how well kidneys recover after acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function during hospitalization). You may be asked to participate in interviews, workshops, or have some medical measurements taken to help improve patient care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for aki?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 51 recruiting aki 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 aki 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 aki 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.
