Recruiting studies
- NCT04099992Recruiting
Mindfulness program for people with chronic kidney disease
This trial tests whether a mindfulness-based program can help people living with moderate-to-advanced kidney disease. It may improve how you feel day-to-day and how you manage symptoms, while researchers track kidney-related health and safety.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 40–80 - NCT05744713Enrolling by invitation
Study of adults with long-term liver disease using health records
This observational study looks at adults with chronic liver disease (including cirrhosis) to better understand how people are managed and how they feel over time. Because it does not change your treatment, it may help researchers improve care and patient support.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05732727RecruitingPhase 3
Stronger BP lowering using diuretics in kidney disease
This Phase 3 trial compares a plan that uses diuretics (water pills) to lower blood pressure more, versus usual blood pressure care, in people with uncontrolled hypertension and moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. It may help your blood pressure control while monitoring safety closely because kidney function changes how medicines work.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05188885Recruiting
Chronic kidney disease registry for real-world care
This study collects health information from people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and also from some people without CKD but with kidney risk factors. It helps doctors understand how CKD develops and how it’s managed in everyday life, not to test a new drug.
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04397159Recruiting
Exercise program to reduce tiredness in some kidney patients
This trial studies whether doing a combination exercise program can reduce “fatigability,” meaning feeling unusually tired or weak during activity, in Veterans with moderate-to-advanced chronic kidney disease. It also compares results with people without kidney disease and checks for safety, especially for heart and joint health.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 50–85 - NCT04098354Recruiting
Phone monitoring for high blood pressure in kidney disease
This study tests whether using a home blood pressure monitoring device and phone-based check-ins can help people with high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease manage their health better. You may be asked to record readings and send them regularly during the study.
Edmonton, AlbertAges 18 years+ - NCT02848131Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing dasatinib and quercetin in diabetes-related kidney disease
This study tests whether two medicines (dasatinib and quercetin) can affect “cell aging” in people with chronic kidney disease related to diabetes. You may be asked to take pills for a short period and complete follow-up visits to measure how your body responds.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 40–80 - NCT02411773RecruitingPhase 1
Test a nerve-blocking medicine in kidney disease
This Phase 1 study tests whether a medicine that reduces nerve signals (“sympatholysis”) is safe and how it affects people with chronic kidney disease. It may help researchers understand new ways to protect the kidneys, but the main goal here is safety.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT06314503Recruiting
Safety study of a new peritoneal dialysis device for kidney patients
This trial tests a new device called WEAKID for people on peritoneal dialysis. It aims to see if the device is safe to use. Participants must have been on PD for at least 3 months and have no recent infections or catheter problems.
Modena, ModenaAges 18 years+ - NCT05189925RecruitingPhase 1
Correcting a missing immune enzyme using an mRNA cell therapy
This early-phase trial tests whether an mRNA-based treatment can correct a key immune problem in people with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). It may help your immune cells work better against infections, but this is mainly to check safety and early signs of benefit.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT07743021Recruiting
Blood sample study for better health screening
This study collects blood samples and health information over time to improve early detection of diseases. It may help researchers find ways to prevent serious conditions.
BalatonfüredAges 40 years+ - NCT02808572Recruiting
Blood and urine tests to study heart risk in kidney disease
This study looks for new markers in blood or urine that may help explain heart (cardiovascular) risk in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors better predict risk, especially in those not yet on dialysis.
MontpellierAges 18–95 - NCT07851454Recruiting
Walnuts for heart and kidney health in chronic kidney disease
This trial tests whether eating walnuts every day can help protect the heart and kidneys in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help improve blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar control.
Reus, TarragonaAges 45–75 - NCT07657286Recruiting
Exercise and inflammation in diabetic kidney disease
This trial tests whether exercise can help people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease by reducing inflammation and stress in the body. It may show if a workout program can improve overall health.
CairoAges 36–58 - NCT06674031Recruiting
Survey on heart risk knowledge in kidney disease
This study aims to understand how much people with chronic kidney disease know about heart disease risk factors. It involves a simple questionnaire (no drugs or procedures) to help improve patient education.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06551311Recruiting
Cycling exercise for chronic kidney disease
This study tests whether a special type of cycling exercise (eccentric cycling) is safe and helpful for people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) or who are on dialysis. The goal is to improve fitness and overall health.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 55–85 - NCT07153432Recruiting
Chronic kidney disease screening for at-risk adults
This study is a simple screening to check for early signs of chronic kidney disease. It aims to find kidney problems in people who are at higher risk due to age or other health conditions.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT07102667Enrolling by invitation
Protein intake for muscle health in older kidney patients
This study tests how much protein older adults with kidney disease and muscle loss should eat to build or maintain muscle. You will follow a protein plan and do simple resistance exercises to see if it helps your strength.
BangkokAges 65 years+ - NCT06960304Recruiting
Exercise program to help kidney patients' fistula work better
This trial tests if structured exercises can help the new blood vessel connection (AVF) in your arm mature properly for dialysis. It may improve your fistula's success and reduce complications.
Coimbra, Coimbra DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT06927024Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for chronic kidney disease
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation on the ear (taVNS) can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by improving kidney function or reducing symptoms. It is a non-invasive, device-based treatment given at NYU Langone Health.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06752577Recruiting
Stem cell treatment for chronic kidney disease safety study
This study tests whether a single infusion of stem cells from bone marrow is safe for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It aims to see if this treatment can help slow kidney function loss.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06721143RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AION-301 for chronic kidney disease
This trial tests an experimental drug called AION-301 for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The goal is to see if it's safe and may help slow kidney decline. It's given by IV infusion and compared to a placebo (inactive infusion).
Miami, FloridaAges 35–75 - NCT06286748Recruiting
Beetroot drink and exercise for kidney disease
This study tests if drinking beetroot extract along with a structured exercise program can help people with chronic kidney disease. It looks at whether this combination can improve health and delay the need for more advanced treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,247 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.
