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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT05764642Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Ultrasound imaging of kidney blood vessels in kidney disease

Exercise program study for young heart, leukemia, and lung survivors
This study looks at how an exercise program affects fitness and lung function in young people who are survivors of certain conditions (heart transplant, leukemia, or lung disease from prematurity). The goal is to see whether exercise can improve breathing and overall physical function safely.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 8–25 - NCT06581770Recruiting

This study tests a Turkish version of a questionnaire about how ready people are to use digital health tools. It is for Turkish-speaking adults with chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, or lung disease.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07039669RecruitingPhase 3
Study of 611 for moderate to severe COPD in adults
This trial tests a new medicine called 611 for people with moderate to severe COPD. It aims to see if adding 611 to your current treatments can help prevent flare-ups and improve symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–85 - NCT07177976Recruiting
Comparing two breathing exercises for COPD
This study compares two breathing techniques—Pilates breathing and pursed lip breathing—to see which one improves chest expansion and peak expiratory flow rate (how fast you can blow air out) in people with mild COPD.
RawalpindiAges 40–64 - NCT07447232Recruiting
Ultrasound vs. standard breathing test for lung disease
This trial compares a new ultrasound breathing test (spirometry) to the standard one. If you have a chronic lung condition like COPD or asthma, it could help see if the new method is as good as the old one.
New Taipei CityAges 18–80 - NCT07518472Recruiting
Box Breathing and Lung Exercises for COPD Shortness of Breath
This study tests whether a simple breathing technique called box breathing, combined with short-term breathing exercises, can help reduce shortness of breath and improve daily functioning in people with mild COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
IslamabadAges 40–65 - NCT07479810Enrolling by invitation
Chronic disease care study for older adults
This trial looks at how primary care teams can help people over 65 manage long-term health conditions that are not cancer. It may help you get better support from your doctor and local health services.
Lonigo, VicenzaAges 65 years+ - NCT07045155RecruitingPhase 4
Study of pegmolesatide for anemia in dialysis patients
This trial tests a new medication, pegmolesatide, to treat anemia in people who have been on dialysis for at least three months. It aims to help improve red blood cell levels without needing as many other anemia treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07013344Recruiting
Link between NT-proBNP and heart artery disease
This study looks at a blood test called NT-proBNP to see if it can help predict how much blockage is in the heart's arteries. It may help doctors better understand heart disease risk.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07666815RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exercise and creatine during dialysis for kidney disease
This trial tests if doing exercise while on dialysis and taking creatine can help people with chronic kidney disease. It aims to find a safe and effective way to improve health during treatment.
Colima, ColiimaAges 18 years+ - NCT07042308Recruiting
Study of advanced chronic liver disease over time
This study follows people with advanced chronic liver disease to understand how their condition changes over time. If you have cirrhosis or high liver stiffness, you may be able to join to help researchers track the disease and learn more about it.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT04741646RecruitingPhase 2
Ferric citrate for kids with chronic kidney disease
This Phase 2 study tests ferric citrate, a medicine that helps control phosphate and iron balance, in children with chronic kidney disease. It may help slow problems related to kidney disease by improving lab measures like phosphate levels.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6–18 - NCT05196035RecruitingPhase 3
Finerenone plus blood-pressure medicine for kids with kidney disease
This Phase 3 study tests whether finerenone works and is safe in children with chronic kidney disease and significant protein in the urine, when taken with an ACE inhibitor or ARB. It also studies how the medicine moves through the body and its effects over time.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 6 months–17 years - NCT05457283RecruitingPhase 3
Finerenone safety study for children with kidney disease
This trial studies how safely finerenone works over 18 months in children and young adults with chronic kidney disease who also take an ACE inhibitor or ARB. It aims to better understand long-term side effects when used together with standard kidney blood-pressure medicines.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 1–18 - NCT05846490RecruitingPhase 4
Sleep apnea treatment to improve blood pressure in kidney disease
This study tests whether treating obstructive sleep apnea can help control blood pressure in people with chronic kidney disease. If your sleep apnea is not currently being treated, participation may help your care team see whether safer breathing at night improves blood pressure control.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06155604RecruitingPhase 2
SGLT2 inhibitor for lupus nephritis with kidney disease
This study tests if an SGLT2 inhibitor can help protect kidney function in people who have lupus nephritis (kidney inflammation caused by lupus) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The goal is to see if this medicine can slow down further kidney damage.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06225544RecruitingPhase 2
Lumasiran for high oxalate patients on hemodialysis

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,256 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.
