Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 18 years+ - NCT07662889Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two types of dialysis for kidney failure
This trial compares a newer type of dialysis called hemodiafiltration with standard hemodialysis to see if it improves certain health measures in people with end-stage kidney disease. It may help determine which method works better for long-term treatment.

Tracking Protein Intake in Advanced Kidney Disease
This study compares two ways to track how much protein you eat using a mobile app or website. It is for people with advanced chronic kidney disease who are already in a nutrition program and want to follow a low-protein diet.
Marseille, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07613593Recruiting
Digital kidney disease care platform evaluation study
This study evaluates whether MyRenalCare, a digital platform that helps patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) monitor and manage their condition, improves health outcomes and patient experience. Researchers will compare people using the platform with those receiving standard care, and interview patients and staff about their experiences.
Portsmouth, HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07592000RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New Treatment for Type 1 Diabetes With Kidney Disease
This study tests a new experimental medication for people with type 1 diabetes who experience dangerous low blood sugar episodes and have early-stage kidney disease. The trial aims to help improve blood sugar control and reduce these risky episodes.

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+ - NCT07544524Recruiting
Plant-Based Diet for Kidney Disease in Asian Adults
This study tests whether eating mostly plants (with some animal products) can safely help people with moderate kidney disease. Researchers will compare this diet to a standard kidney-friendly diet and see how it affects kidney function and overall health.
SingaporeAges 21–79 - NCT07522008Recruiting
Testing a blood-cleaning add-on for dialysis symptom relief
This trial tests whether adding a special blood-filtering device (hemoadsorption) to your regular dialysis treatment can reduce uncomfortable symptoms caused by kidney failure, like fatigue or itching. Researchers will track how you feel over time compared to standard dialysis alone.
Cagliari, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07499856Enrolling by invitation
