Symptom monitoring with feedback for advanced kidney disease
This study tests a symptom-monitoring system with feedback for people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). The goal is to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life without needing dialysis or a transplant right away.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07187713RecruitingPhase 4
Study of ACE Reno, Pico Cell Matrix for kidney health
This trial tests a new treatment called ACE Reno, Pico Cell Matrix to see if it can improve kidney function in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at various stages. It may be an option if you have early to moderate kidney issues (including after a transplant) and are already on standard therapies.
Giza, GZAges 18–80 - NCT07231679RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing IGT-303 for kidney disease from diabetes
This study tests a new drug called IGT-303 for people with chronic kidney disease caused by type 2 diabetes. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can help protect kidney function.
Herston, BrisbaneAges 18–75 - NCT06741072RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine to prevent EBV-related cancer in transplant patients
This trial tests a vaccine (OSU-2131) that may help prevent cancers caused by the Epstein-Barr virus in people waiting for an organ transplant. The vaccine is designed to train your immune system to fight the virus.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT07358572Recruiting
Eye-brain-kidney study in chronic kidney disease
This study is looking at how chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects the eyes, brain, and kidneys. It uses MRI scans to examine these organs, and aims to find connections that could help improve care for people with CKD.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07385651Recruiting
Cool storage for donated kidneys
This trial compares storing donated kidneys at 10 degrees Celsius (a cooler temperature) instead of the usual ice storage. It tests if this might help the kidney stay healthier before transplant.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07438002Recruiting
Exercise for kidney disease patients on dialysis or in treatment
This trial studies whether high-intensity physical exercise helps people with chronic kidney disease, including those on dialysis. It aims to improve health and physical function.
Peschiera del Garda, VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT07446296Recruiting
Kidney transplant exercise program for older adults
This trial tests whether a special exercise program can help people on the kidney transplant waiting list get stronger and improve their health. You would use an app to follow exercise routines at home and check in with the research team.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 60 years+ - NCT07483372RecruitingPhase 1
SC101 injection for resistant hypertension with kidney disease
This early-phase trial tests an injection called SC101 into the fat around your kidney. It aims to help lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension is poorly controlled despite multiple medications and who have moderate to severe chronic kidney disease.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT07487727RecruitingPhase 3
Study of an experimental anemia drug for chronic kidney disease patients not on dialysis
This trial tests an oral medication (AND017) for anemia caused by chronic kidney disease. It aims to improve red blood cell levels without needing dialysis or current anemia treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07607197RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune Reset to Help Highly Sensitized Kidney Transplant Patients
This study tests whether a special immune-resetting treatment can help patients who have developed too many antibodies against donor kidneys get access to a compatible kidney transplant. The treatment uses chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation to 'reset' your immune system so it stops rejecting potential donor kidneys.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18–60 - NCT07626710Recruiting
How Heart Valve Replacement Affects Kidney Function
This study looks at whether a minimally invasive heart valve procedure (TAVI) affects how well your kidneys work. Researchers will track your kidney function before and after the procedure using blood tests to understand any changes.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT07151742Enrolling by invitation
Exercise during dialysis for muscle health
This study tests whether exercise during hemodialysis can improve muscle oxygen levels and how well dialysis works. It is for people who have been on dialysis for at least a year and have muscle loss (sarcopenia).
Istanbul, KadikoyAges 18–65 - NCT05870007Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Atorvastatin and alkalizing treatment for autosomal dominant PKD
This Phase 2 study tests whether atorvastatin plus an “alkalizing” treatment (sodium bicarbonate) can slow or improve disease effects in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It specifically targets metabolic acidosis (when the body becomes “too acidic”), which may worsen kidney health.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05514184Enrolling by invitation
Diet coaching for diabetes and kidney disease to delay dialysis
This study tests a plant-focused diet plan to help people with diabetes and moderately to severely reduced kidney function avoid or delay needing dialysis. You would get diet instructions based on your random group and have several follow-up visits and check-ins over 6 months.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03716401Recruiting
Imaging tests to predict kidney disease in type 2 diabetes
This study uses special kidney imaging to look for patterns that can predict how diabetic kidney disease may progress. It may help researchers find better ways to identify people at higher risk using noninvasive (and possibly biopsy-related) tests.
TurkuAges 18–80 - NCT05970341Recruiting
Healthy food program for kidney disease and better kidney health
This trial tests whether a structured “eat well” food program—focused on kidney-friendly nutrition—can help people with early to mid-stage chronic kidney disease. It may help by supporting healthier day-to-day eating over at least 6 months.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07245186Enrolling by invitation
