Canton, GeorgiaAges 65 years+ - NCT06933472RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new phosphate binder for dialysis patients
This trial tests a new drug called AP301 to lower high phosphate levels in people on dialysis. It's designed to help control phosphate, which can be hard to manage with diet and current medications.
Dalton, GeorgiaAges 12 years+ - 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 - NCT06283966RecruitingPhase 3
Triple inhaler for COPD with heart risk

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 - 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.
Columbus, GeorgiaAges 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.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07783802RecruitingPhase 2
Study of clazakizumab for adults with high inflammation and heart risk
This study tests whether clazakizumab can reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes in people with high levels of inflammation (measured by a blood test called hsCRP) and conditions like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease. If you qualify, you'll receive either the study drug or a placebo to see if it helps lower your risk.

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.
