SGLT2 inhibitors for advanced kidney disease
This trial tests whether SGLT2 inhibitor drugs can protect kidney function in people with advanced chronic kidney disease who are not yet on dialysis. It may help slow further kidney decline.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07064174Recruiting
Sickle cell kidney research study
This study collects kidney tissue samples from people with sickle cell disease and healthy volunteers to better understand how sickle cell affects the kidneys. If you have sickle cell disease or a related blood disorder, you may help researchers find new ways to protect kidney function.

Study of pegmolesatide for anemia in dialysis patients
This trial tests a new medication, pegmolesatide, to treat anemia in people who have been on dialysis for at least three months. It aims to help improve red blood cell levels without needing as many other anemia treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07052539Recruiting
Kidney disease in heart failure with obesity
This study looks at how kidney disease relates to a type of heart failure (called HFpEF) that often happens in people with obesity. It will help doctors understand this connection better.
Jackson, MississippiAges 18–75 - NCT07043166Recruiting
Heart, kidney, and metabolic health study in Shanghai
This study looks at the link between heart, kidney, and metabolic health in adults living in Shanghai. It follows people who were part of an earlier health study to see how their health changes over time.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07020104Recruiting
Salt and water in chronic kidney disease
This study looks at how salt builds up in the skin of people with chronic kidney disease. It involves different groups testing either sodium intake, sodium excretion, or water intake to see how these affect blood pressure and kidney function.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 561 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.
