Valencia, ValenciaAges 18–90 - NCT07312981Recruiting
Diet tracking study for advanced kidney disease
This study compares different ways to record what you eat and drink for people with advanced kidney disease. It may help find easier methods for dietary tracking.
Herlev, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07330362Recruiting
AI to help diagnose kidney disease from biopsy
This trial tests an artificial intelligence system that helps doctors analyze kidney tissue samples. If you have chronic kidney disease and need a biopsy, this study will see if the AI can improve diagnosis.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 15–79 - NCT07024823RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of AZD4248 in healthy people and those with kidney disease and diabetes
This trial tests an experimental drug called AZD4248 to see if it's safe for healthy people and for people with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes. It also checks if a home device can accurately measure kidney function.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT07361146Recruiting
Physical therapy during or before dialysis: a comparison
This study compares doing physical therapy during your dialysis session versus right before it. It looks at which timing might work better for people on hemodialysis.
HawalliAges 21–65 - NCT07368946Recruiting
Phosphate study for people with kidney disease
This study looks at how the body handles phosphate in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help researchers understand how to better manage phosphate levels to improve health.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07394959Recruiting
Guided hydration to protect kidneys in elderly heart patients
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during heart procedures to prevent kidney injury. It uses a special vest that measures lung fluid to guide how much hydration you get.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 60 years+ - NCT01802034Recruiting
Study kidney samples to understand autoimmune, inflammatory, and diabetic disease
This trial collects and studies kidney tissue samples to better understand what drives kidney problems linked to autoimmune, inflammation, and diabetes. Your participation may help researchers develop better ways to diagnose and treat these conditions.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02000895Recruiting
Studying birth factors in preterm and term mother-infant pairs
This study looks at how biological factors at birth differ between preterm and term babies, and how they relate to the mother and baby together. It may help doctors better understand early-life influences for newborn care.
Miami, FloridaAges Up to 10 years - NCT00327860Recruiting
Kidney disease in children study that follows patients over time
This is a long-term study that watches children and young adults with chronic kidney disease to understand how the illness changes and to improve care. You may be asked to complete regular visits and questionnaires, and your kidney function will be tracked over time.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 6 months–22 years - NCT01752738Recruiting
Study of gut microbial metabolites in chronic kidney disease
This trial studies how substances made by gut microbes travel in people with chronic kidney disease. You may be asked to have a planned colonoscopy so researchers can measure intestinal samples and better understand kidney disease.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18–85 - NCT02808572Recruiting
Blood and urine tests to study heart risk in kidney disease
This study looks for new markers in blood or urine that may help explain heart (cardiovascular) risk in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors better predict risk, especially in those not yet on dialysis.
MontpellierAges 18–95 - 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 - NCT03032835Recruiting
Research study for calciphylaxis skin lesions
This study collects and stores information from people with calciphylaxis, a serious condition that causes painful skin lesions. It may help researchers learn more about the disease and improve future care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 571 recruiting chronic kidney disease 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 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 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.
