Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05928936RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise study in chronic kidney disease with blood-pressure medicines
This study tests how the body’s blood-pressure control responds to exercise in people with chronic kidney disease (and some transplant recipients), compared with people without kidney disease. It may help researchers learn safer ways to exercise and manage blood pressure for people with kidney disease.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 40–75 - NCT04099992Recruiting
Mindfulness program for people with chronic kidney disease
This trial tests whether a mindfulness-based program can help people living with moderate-to-advanced kidney disease. It may improve how you feel day-to-day and how you manage symptoms, while researchers track kidney-related health and safety.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 40–80 - NCT06742723RecruitingPhase 3
Study of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin for kidney disease and high blood pressure
This trial tests if combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin helps protect kidney function and reduce heart risks in people with chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure. It's for adults who are already taking standard blood pressure medications.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07107945RecruitingPhase 3
Study of empagliflozin for children with chronic kidney disease
This trial tests if empagliflozin, a daily pill, is safe and helps children ages 2–17 with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Your child may be eligible if they have reduced kidney function and elevated protein in their urine, and are already on stable kidney treatments.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 2–17 - NCT02947750RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise study in people with kidney disease
This Phase 2 study tests how engaging in supervised exercise affects the body’s blood-vessel responses in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who don’t exercise regularly. It may help researchers understand whether exercise could be beneficial for CKD-related health changes.

Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Any age - 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.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06830629RecruitingPhase 2
MZE829 for APOL1 kidney disease
This trial tests an experimental drug called MZE829 for people with kidney disease linked to the APOL1 gene. It aims to see if the drug can help protect kidney function.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–68 - NCT06823115Enrolling by invitation
Worldwide study of kidney injury in newborns
This study looks at how common acute kidney injury is in newborns in the intensive care unit. It helps doctors understand which babies are at risk and how to prevent kidney problems.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges birth–2 weeks - NCT06902558RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ABBV-CLS-628 for adults with polycystic kidney disease
This trial tests a new drug, ABBV-CLS-628, for people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The goal is to see if it slows kidney function decline and is safe to use.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–55 - NCT06907147Recruiting
Renal denervation for uncontrolled high blood pressure
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation to lower blood pressure in people whose medication isn't enough. It uses a special catheter to calm nerves near the kidneys that may be overactive.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–80 - NCT06531824RecruitingPhase 3
Heart and kidney protection study for chronic kidney disease
This study tests a new medicine (BI 690517) combined with empagliflozin to see if it can help protect the heart and kidneys in people with chronic kidney disease. It may slow down kidney disease progression and reduce heart risks.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 4 weeks–18 years - NCT02411773RecruitingPhase 1
Test a nerve-blocking medicine in kidney disease
This Phase 1 study tests whether a medicine that reduces nerve signals (“sympatholysis”) is safe and how it affects people with chronic kidney disease. It may help researchers understand new ways to protect the kidneys, but the main goal here is safety.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 40–75 - NCT06243068Enrolling by invitation
Supporting decisions about kidney care without dialysis
This study helps people with advanced chronic kidney disease explore their care options, including the choice to manage without dialysis. It provides support and information to help you and your family make a decision that fits your values.
East Point, GeorgiaAges 65 years+ - NCT06963827RecruitingPhase 3
Study of mezagitamab for IgA nephropathy
This trial tests a new drug called mezagitamab for adults with IgA nephropathy, a kidney condition. The study aims to see if this drug can help reduce protein in the urine and preserve kidney function. You may be eligible if your kidney function is above a certain level and your urine protein is high enough.
East Point, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06283966RecruitingPhase 3
Triple inhaler for COPD with heart risk
This study tests a triple-combination inhaler (budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol) to see if it can help protect the heart and lungs in people with COPD who also have heart problems or high risk for them.
Tucker, GeorgiaAges 40–80 - NCT06749457RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for healthy adults and kidney patients on dialysis
This trial tests a new drug called AZD7760 in two groups: healthy adults (Phase I) and adults with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis through a central venous catheter (Phase IIa).

What taking part in a chronic kidney disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
