SvendborgAges 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 - NCT05242055Recruiting
Tracking and treating chronic kidney disease risk
This trial looks at how well an integrated program for identifying and treating people at risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) can improve outcomes. It may help by catching problems earlier and guiding treatment sooner.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - 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 - 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.

Predicting clot and bleeding risk in kidney disease patients after a heart attack
This trial tests whether a blood test looking at platelets and tiny cell particles can help predict future blood clots or bleeding in people who have both chronic kidney disease and a recent heart attack. The goal is to improve treatment safety.
MarseilleAges 18–90 - NCT05527626Recruiting
Study of daily life in people with advanced kidney disease
This study looks at real-world information about people living with advanced chronic kidney disease. Your participation mainly involves allowing researchers to use your existing medical data to understand care and outcomes.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07857200Recruiting
Identify kidney disease early with health coaching
This study uses a risk score to find people who may develop chronic kidney disease (CKD) and tests different ways to help them get the care they need. The goal is to catch kidney problems early and slow them down.
Portland, OregonAges 18–80 - NCT06324136Recruiting
Personalized diagnosis for rare kidney diseases
This trial uses genetic testing to find the cause of rare kidney diseases. It is for people with unexplained kidney problems, a family history of kidney disease, or certain findings on ultrasound. The goal is to provide a more personalized diagnosis and see if this approach is cost-effective.
FlorenceAges birth–70 years - NCT06153147Recruiting
Kidney & blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at kidney health and blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors. If you finished high-risk cancer therapy about 3 years ago, researchers want to see how your kidneys and blood pressure are doing now.
Toronto, OntarioAges Up to 19 years - NCT06372743Recruiting
Nurse-led care for kidney disease with other health issues
This study tests a nurse-led care model with doctor support for people with chronic kidney disease who also have other health problems like high blood pressure or diabetes. Its goal is to help you better manage your health and avoid complications.
SingaporeAges 21 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 - NCT06383208Recruiting
Heart and kidney risk study for people with both diseases
This study looks at how well we can predict heart and kidney problems in people who have both coronary heart disease and chronic kidney disease. By analyzing certain markers, researchers hope to create a better risk assessment tool.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06083168Recruiting
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+ - 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 - NCT05071131Recruiting
Inulin supplement to improve gut health in kidney disease
This trial studies whether taking inulin—a dietary fiber—can improve gut bacteria and the gut barrier in people with end-stage kidney disease on hemodialysis. It may help reduce gut-related problems that can affect overall health in kidney disease.
BerlinAges 18–75 - NCT07820800Recruiting
Personalized digital health guidance for middle-aged adults
This study tests whether a digital health app can help middle-aged adults based on their personal metabolic risk. It aims to prevent diseases by providing tailored guidance.
SavonlinnaAges 45–55 - NCT07820514Recruiting
Exercise during dialysis for kidney disease
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program during dialysis sessions can help people with chronic kidney disease feel better and improve their health. It is designed for patients who are stable on dialysis and may offer a way to enhance well-being during treatment.
Torre del GrecoAges 18 years+ - NCT05570929Recruiting
Study of kidney changes before and around donation
This study follows people who are planning kidney donation or a kidney transplant to better understand how kidney function changes over time. It may help researchers predict risk and improve care by studying health markers in detail.
BerlinAges 18–75 - NCT07781124Recruiting
Remote monitoring for kidney dialysis patients
This study compares the effectiveness and resource use of remote patient monitoring across different dialysis methods for people with end-stage renal disease. It aims to see if remote monitoring can improve care and outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–79 - NCT06501222Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for kidney protection in CKD
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07768865Recruiting
Artery stiffness in young people with kidney disease
This study looks at how stiff the arteries are in children and young adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to healthy controls. The results may help doctors better understand heart risks and improve care for young people with kidney problems.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 561 recruiting chronic kidney 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 kidney 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 kidney 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.
