Triple therapy for type 2 diabetes and kidney disease
This study tests whether adding a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid antagonist to your current type 2 diabetes and kidney disease medications (SGLT2i and ACEi/ARB) is cost-effective. It may help preserve kidney function and reduce heart risks.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07029503RecruitingPhase 2

Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06656988RecruitingPhase 3
Saving kidney function during leg artery treatment with carbon dioxide
This trial tests if using carbon dioxide gas instead of standard dye during a leg artery procedure can protect the kidneys. It is for people with blocked leg arteries who also have reduced kidney function.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT06809075Recruiting
Stem cell therapy to help highly sensitized patients get a kidney transplant
This trial tests if a special stem cell treatment (using your own stem cells) can reset your immune system so you can accept a kidney from a deceased donor, even if you have very high antibody levels that make it hard to find a match. It's for people who have been waiting a long time and haven't had a transplant offer.
BarcelonaAges 18–65 - NCT04782258RecruitingPhase 3
Testing the safety of tolvaptan in children with ARPKD
This trial is for children from 28 days old up to 18 years who have a rare kidney disease called ARPKD. It will test if the drug tolvaptan is safe for them. The study helps find new treatment options for kids with this condition.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 4 weeks–18 years - NCT05422534RecruitingPhase 3
CoQ10 plus exercise for people with advanced kidney disease
This trial tests whether a supplement called CoQ10, along with supervised exercise, can improve how the body uses energy in people on chronic dialysis. It may help with muscle function and overall health if your heart and dialysis situation are stable enough.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05642156Recruiting
Ultrafiltration versus usual dialysis in people on hemodialysis
This study compares a specific way of removing fluid during dialysis (isolated ultrafiltration) with conventional hemodialysis. It aims to see how each approach affects blood flow and fluid shifts in people with end-stage kidney disease.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT05828823Recruiting
Two-times-a-week dialysis for new patients
This study tests whether starting dialysis at twice a week, instead of the usual three times, is safe and effective for people who still have some kidney function. If the kidneys still make urine and clear waste, being on dialysis less often may maintain that function longer.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06708338Recruiting
Bevel direction during dialysis fistula puncture
This study looks at which way the needle bevel should face when starting dialysis through a new fistula. It might help reduce pain or damage to the fistula.
Le Puy-en-VelayAges 18–85 - NCT05832229RecruitingPhase 2
Studying rosuvastatin to slow liver scarring in cirrhosis
This Phase 2 trial tests whether rosuvastatin (a cholesterol-lowering medicine) can improve how well the liver functions and slow worsening scarring in people with cirrhosis. It also checks for side effects and safety.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06071429Recruiting
Dissolvable medicine stent for leg artery disease
This trial tests a new dissolvable stent that slowly releases medicine to keep your lower-leg artery open. It is for people with severe leg pain or small wounds due to poor blood flow, and who are not eligible for other stents.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06291077RecruitingPhase 4
Belatacept vs anticalcineurins after kidney transplant
This study is comparing two medications after kidney transplant: Belatacept and anticalcineurins (like tacrolimus). It looks at how each affects blood vessel health. If you are more than a year post-transplant and have stable kidney function, you may be eligible.

Study of AZD7760 for healthy adults and kidney patients on dialysis
This trial tests a new medicine called AZD7760 in two groups: healthy adults and adults with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis using a central line catheter. The goal is to see if the medicine is safe and how the body processes it.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18–55 - NCT06820970Recruiting
Combined therapy for heart artery blockages that weren't fully opened
This trial tests if combining a new heart procedure with a special type of therapy called mindfulness therapy can help prevent heart problems in people with coronary artery disease that could not be fully fixed with stents or surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07175051RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a kidney-protecting drug in sickle cell disease
This study tests whether empagliflozin, a medicine that protects the kidneys in people with diabetes, can also protect the kidneys in people with sickle cell disease. The goal is to see if it can reduce protein in the urine, which is a sign of kidney stress.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–60 - NCT06014801RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic kidney disease requiring chronic dialysis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 100 recruiting chronic kidney disease requiring chronic dialysis 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 requiring chronic dialysis 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 requiring chronic dialysis 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.
