Recruiting studies
- NCT07607197RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune Reset to Help Highly Sensitized Kidney Transplant Patients

If you have moderately to severely reduced kidney function and meet certain blood pressure and cholesterol criteria, you may be able to join.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06155604RecruitingPhase 2
SGLT2 inhibitor for lupus nephritis with kidney disease
This study tests if an SGLT2 inhibitor can help protect kidney function in people who have lupus nephritis (kidney inflammation caused by lupus) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The goal is to see if this medicine can slow down further kidney damage.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05944016RecruitingPhase 3
Dapagliflozin for early Alport kidney disease in teens and young adults
This trial tests dapagliflozin, a daily medicine, to slow kidney problems in people with early-stage chronic kidney disease caused by Alport syndrome. It may help protect kidney function and reduce worsening over time.
Heidelberg, Baden-WürttenbergAges 10–39 - NCT07561957Recruiting
Smartphone app to help manage chronic kidney disease
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD)—a condition where the kidneys don't filter blood as well as they should—follow the latest medical guidelines. The app aims to make it easier for younger adults to stay on top of their kidney health and treatment.
DublinAges 16–30 - NCT07554469Recruiting
Study of Finerenone for Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes
This observational study tracks how well finerenone (a kidney-protective medication) works in adults with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease in Spain. Researchers will measure changes in kidney function and disease risk over time to better understand the medication's real-world benefits.

Heart, Kidney, and Metabolism Health Long-Term Study
This research study tracks patients with heart disease, kidney disease, or metabolic conditions (like diabetes) over time to understand how these conditions connect and affect long-term health. By collecting medical records and health information, researchers aim to predict outcomes and improve care.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT07544524Recruiting
Plant-Based Diet for Kidney Disease in Asian Adults
This study tests whether eating mostly plants (with some animal products) can safely help people with moderate kidney disease. Researchers will compare this diet to a standard kidney-friendly diet and see how it affects kidney function and overall health.
SingaporeAges 21–79 - NCT06551311Recruiting
Cycling exercise for chronic kidney disease
This study tests whether a special type of cycling exercise (eccentric cycling) is safe and helpful for people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) or who are on dialysis. The goal is to improve fitness and overall health.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 55–85 - NCT06750575Recruiting
Study of furosemide on toxin removal in chronic kidney disease
This study tests whether the water pill furosemide can help remove certain toxins from the blood in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD stages 3-5) who are starting this medicine as part of their regular care.

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.
