Chronic kidney disease clinical trials in Maryland
We’re tracking 33 recruiting chronic kidney disease studies with a site in Maryland — including Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Maryland
- 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.

Study causes of primary sclerosing cholangitis using body scans
This study looks at what drives primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and how it affects the body, using a team approach and medical tests like scans and blood work. It may help researchers understand PSC better and could improve future treatment decisions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT02417740Recruiting
Study of the natural course of noncirrhotic portal hypertension
This study follows people with noncirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) or people at risk for it to better understand how the condition progresses over time. It does not sound like a medication trial—more like careful monitoring to learn what happens in different people.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–100 - NCT00071526Recruiting
How the body loses vitamin C in diabetes
This study looks at why people with diabetes may lose more vitamin C in their urine than people without diabetes. By understanding this difference, researchers hope to better understand how diabetes affects the body's nutrition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT00128973Recruiting
Study immune system problems in people with unusual infections
This study looks at how the immune system works in people who have abnormal immune function, often shown by unusual or repeated infections or long-lasting inflammation. It may involve tests using blood samples and storage of blood for future research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT01386437Recruiting
Study immune problems and fungal infections
This study looks at how immune system problems relate to fungal infections, using medical records and lab tests on blood and tissue. It may help researchers understand the cause of these infections—especially for people with inherited immune conditions—and improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–99 years - NCT05917522RecruitingPhase 2
Biomarker-guided changes to anti-rejection medicines after kidney transplant
This Phase 2 study looks at whether blood test “biomarkers” can guide safely changing anti-rejection medicines after an ABO-compatible kidney transplant. It may help some people reduce certain medicines while keeping the new kidney protected from rejection.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–70 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 40–75 - NCT06055608RecruitingPhase 2
Improving kidney transplant outcomes in teens and young adults
This trial tests a new approach to help teenagers and young adults keep their first kidney transplant working well. It looks at how to improve long-term success by carefully managing the immune system around the time of transplant.

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.

Common questions
- Are there chronic kidney disease clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 33 recruiting chronic kidney disease studies with a site in Maryland, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a chronic kidney disease study in Maryland?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a chronic kidney disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New chronic kidney disease studies open in Maryland regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
