Risk scores after abdominal surgery for people with health conditions
This study looks at how other health problems affect the chance of postoperative complications after abdominal surgery. It aims to help doctors better predict risk and decide on the safest care for you.
ArkhangelskAges 18 years+ - NCT03991169RecruitingPhase 4
Oral iron for children with chronic kidney disease
This trial studies whether taking iron by mouth can improve iron levels and anemia (low red blood cell counts) in children with chronic kidney disease. It may help reduce fatigue and support normal blood-making, by comparing different approaches for children who meet specific iron test results.
New York, New YorkAges 1–21 - NCT04334707Recruiting
Study kidney damage in people with long-term diabetes
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04522622RecruitingPhase 4
Teriparatide for low bone turnover in advanced kidney disease
This trial tests teriparatide (a hormone-like bone medicine) to improve bone health in people with advanced chronic kidney disease who are at risk for weak, low-turnover bone. It may help by changing how quickly your bones break down and rebuild.
AalborgAges 18–120 - NCT04848623Recruiting
Listening test to find voice clues of long-term health
This study is looking for “vocal biomarkers,” meaning voice patterns that could hint at how well people are doing with chronic (long-term) health conditions. Your participation would involve providing voice samples so researchers can see what voice features relate to health.
LuxembourgAges 15 years+ - NCT05227547Recruiting
Study of lung cell changes in smokers and lung disease
This study looks at specific lung cells (called alveolar cells) to understand how smoking and chronic lung disease may change them. You may be invited if you are having lung surgery and can safely take part.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT05248412Recruiting
Study how COVID-19 long-term effects impact chronic diseases
This research looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the health and healthcare of adults with long-term conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, or chronic lung disease. It compares people who may have been affected by the pandemic and looks at their health and access to care over time.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05266092Recruiting
Study kidney disease immune system activity in dialysis patients
This study looks at how the body’s defense systems (immune system and related signals) behave in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors understand what is driving inflammation and related complications in dialysis patients.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT05370014Recruiting
Study for COVID survivors and their unpaid carepartners in South Carolina
This study looks at how to improve health and support for African American adults who had COVID-19 severe enough to need urgent care or hospitalization, along with the unpaid carepartner who helps them at home. It may be helpful if you and your carepartner live in a medically underserved or rural area and share daily support needs.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05476627Recruiting
Study risk factors for kidney disease from metabolic conditions
This study looks at risk factors and body “omics” information (like blood/tissue patterns) to better understand chronic kidney disease caused by metabolic diseases. It may help researchers find better ways to predict or manage kidney problems in people with these conditions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05515367RecruitingPhase 4
Real-world safety study of desidustat for kidney anemia
This study tracks the real-world safety of desidustat in adults with anemia caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD). It’s meant to see whether the medicine is safe when used in everyday care, not just in tightly controlled settings.

Heart disease in chronic kidney disease study
This study is looking at the link between kidney disease and heart disease. It aims to understand how heart problems affect people with chronic kidney disease. The trial does not test a new drug, but rather follows patients to learn more about their health.
OlsztynAges 18 years+ - NCT06173323Recruiting
Improving decision-making for kidney disease patients and their caregivers

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,253 recruiting chronic 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 chronic 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 chronic 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.
