Leuprolide treatment for severe polycystic liver growth
This Phase 2 study tests whether a monthly hormone medicine (leuprolide, a GnRH agonist given as an injection) can slow down ongoing, fast-growing polycystic livers. It is aimed at pre-menopausal women with very large livers that are still getting bigger on past and current scans.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18–45 - 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 - NCT01893710Recruiting
Collecting children and adult belly fluid and tissue for kidney care research
This study collects samples from the belly (related to the peritoneal lining) to build a “biobank” for future research. It may help patients and families by improving understanding of kidney disease and kidney dialysis-related health issues.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 day–90 years - NCT06860828Enrolling by invitation
Football players and brain health study: DIAGNOSE CTE
This study looks at brain changes in former college and professional football players, people with memory problems, and healthy controls. It aims to learn more about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's disease.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 50 years+ - NCT06701968Recruiting
Healthy Nordic diet for heart artery health after heart attack
This study tests whether a healthy Nordic diet (like whole grains, berries, fish, and vegetables) can slow down hardening of the arteries in people who have had a heart attack or have stable chest pain. It lasts 18 months and aims to improve heart health.
UppsalaAges 50–80 - NCT05005793RecruitingPhase 4
Alkali treatment to improve kidney graft blood vessel function
This trial tests whether adding an “alkali” treatment (to raise low blood bicarbonate) can improve blood vessel and kidney graft function in people whose kidney transplant is about 1 year old. It may help if you have lower-than-normal bicarbonate levels while on stable transplant and blood pressure medicines.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–80 - NCT06772454Recruiting
Testing a new drug combo for advanced lung cancer with COPD
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) to standard chemotherapy and inhaled steroids helps people with advanced lung cancer who also have COPD. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07343375Enrolling by invitation
Exercise training before lung surgery for COPD
This trial tests if high-intensity interval training before lung volume reduction surgery can improve lung function in people with COPD. It may help you get stronger for surgery and recover better afterward.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT07123922Enrolling by invitation
Silymarin for COPD: A Study on Breathing and Quality of Life
This study tests whether adding silymarin (a herbal supplement from milk thistle) to your regular COPD treatment can improve your lung function, reduce stress in your body, and help you feel better day-to-day.
DhakaAges 40–80 - NCT07074093Enrolling by invitation
Smartphone app to help COPD patients with air pollution
This study tests whether a smartphone app can help people with COPD breathe better by giving them tips to avoid air pollution. If you live in Salamanca and can use a smartphone, this app might help you manage your condition.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT06976762Enrolling by invitation
Light-based muscle oxygen measurements in COPD with kidney disease
This study uses a special light-based device (near-infrared spectroscopy) to measure muscle oxygen levels in people who have both COPD and chronic kidney disease. Researchers want to see if these measurements can help predict how the disease progresses, which could lead to better monitoring and treatment.
Tokat ProvinceAges 18–80 - NCT06751602Enrolling by invitationPhase 2

This trial tests whether a drug called belumosudil can reduce scarring in the kidney after transplant. Scarring can lead to kidney damage over time, and this study aims to stop that from happening.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06702696Recruiting
Study on aronia berries for COPD inflammation
This trial tests whether eating aronia berries (black chokeberries) can help reduce inflammation in people with COPD. It may offer a natural way to manage COPD symptoms.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 50–80 - NCT06047106Recruiting
MRI study for kidney transplant from living donor

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 559 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.
