Check if 3 medicines help advanced kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab can shrink or control advanced kidney cancer. It’s aimed at people with certain kidney-cancer subtypes (including HLRCC-related cases or papillary kidney cancer) and who have not had many prior targeted or immune treatments.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT07216391RecruitingPhase 2
Trial to delay type 1 diabetes: teplizumab vs. ATG
This study compares two medicines (teplizumab and anti-thymocyte globulin) to see if they can delay the onset of type 1 diabetes in people who are at high risk but don't have symptoms yet. If you have certain diabetes-related antibodies in your blood, this trial might help keep full-blown diabetes away for longer.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 4–34 - NCT06399419RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CBM588 with immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding a probiotic (CBM588) to a standard immunotherapy combination (nivolumab and ipilimumab) helps treat advanced kidney cancer. It is for people with a specific type of kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery, who have not had systemic treatment before.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07142252RecruitingPhase 2
New drug for recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes
This trial tests a new medicine (rezpegaldesleukin) to see if it can help preserve the body's ability to make some insulin in people recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It's for children and adults diagnosed within the past 100 days.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 8–45 - 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.
RouenAges 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+ - NCT05832229RecruitingPhase 2
Liver cirrhosis network rosuvastatin trial
This study tests whether the drug rosuvastatin, a cholesterol-lowering medicine, can improve liver health in people with cirrhosis. If you have compensated cirrhosis (no recent serious liver problems), you might be able to join.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 137 recruiting chronic kidney disease stage 5 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 stage 5 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 stage 5 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.
