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 - NCT06402851RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinner or none for atrial fibrillation with dialysis
This trial compares two types of blood thinners (vitamin K antagonists and factor Xa inhibitors) versus no blood thinner in people with atrial fibrillation who are on dialysis or have very advanced kidney disease. It aims to see which option is safest and most effective for preventing strokes and bleeds.
Salvador, Estado de BahiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06501222Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for kidney protection in CKD
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07107919Recruiting
Imaging heart and kidney health in chronic kidney disease
This study uses advanced imaging (PET/MRI) to look at how kidney disease affects the heart and blood vessels. It may help doctors better understand and treat chronic kidney disease.

This study looks at how receiving a kidney transplant changes the health of small blood vessels in the heart. It may help people with advanced kidney disease understand the benefits of transplant on their heart health.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07259512RecruitingPhase 4
Ramipril once or twice a day for kidney and heart health
This trial tests whether taking ramipril once or twice daily better protects kidney function in people with both chronic kidney disease (stages 3-5, not on dialysis) and heart failure with low pumping strength. It aims to find the best dosing schedule to help both organs.
Kartasura, Central JavaAges 18 years+ - NCT07575347Recruiting
Gum Disease and Rare Kidney Disorders Study
This study explores whether people with certain rare kidney diseases or chronic kidney problems have more gum disease than others. Researchers will examine your teeth and gums to understand the connection and help improve care for people with kidney conditions.
BucharestAges 18 years+ - NCT06318949Recruiting
Albumin changes as early signs of chronic liver disease
This study is looking at whether changes in a protein called albumin can help find liver disease earlier. It is for people who have some liver scarring but no serious complications.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04397159Recruiting
Exercise program to reduce tiredness in some kidney patients
This trial studies whether doing a combination exercise program can reduce “fatigability,” meaning feeling unusually tired or weak during activity, in Veterans with moderate-to-advanced chronic kidney disease. It also compares results with people without kidney disease and checks for safety, especially for heart and joint health.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 50–85 - NCT06329622RecruitingPhase 3
Does Ketosteril help muscle loss in kidney disease?
This study tests whether a medicine called Ketosteril can improve muscle strength and function in people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) who also have sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss).
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT06738394Recruiting
Exercise study for older adults with kidney disease
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help older adults with chronic kidney disease improve their physical function and stay active. You have to be able to do exercise and not be on dialysis.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 65–100 - NCT04099992Recruiting
Mindfulness program for people with chronic kidney disease
This trial tests whether a mindfulness-based program can help people living with moderate-to-advanced kidney disease. It may improve how you feel day-to-day and how you manage symptoms, while researchers track kidney-related health and safety.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 40–80 - NCT04911491Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for people with kidney disease
This study tests whether training your breathing muscles can improve health in people with chronic kidney disease (stage 3–4). It may help how your body handles daily activity and circulation-related measurements, compared with usual care.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 50 years+ - NCT05878171Recruiting
Choices about life-saving treatment for kidney failure patients
This trial looks at what patients with kidney failure prefer for life-sustaining treatments (like whether they would want certain life-prolonging care). Your answers may help improve how future care plans are discussed and tailored to patients’ wishes.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06006819Recruiting
Acute heart failure with chronic kidney disease study
This trial studies how certain markers in the blood can predict outcomes in people with acute heart failure who also have chronic kidney disease. If you qualify, researchers will follow your health during this hospital stay.
Taipei, Baitou DistrictAges 20–90 - NCT06202235Recruiting
Magnetic resonance imaging for chronic kidney disease
This trial uses a special MRI technique called multifrequency magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to see if it can help evaluate chronic kidney disease. It may provide a non-invasive way to monitor kidney health without needing a biopsy.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–65 - NCT06523608Recruiting
Predicting liver problems in advanced chronic liver disease
This study looks at people with advanced chronic liver disease to find ways to predict when they might get worse or develop liver cancer. Researchers hope to use this information to prevent complications and improve care.
Münster, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07613593Recruiting
Digital kidney disease care platform evaluation study
This study evaluates whether MyRenalCare, a digital platform that helps patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) monitor and manage their condition, improves health outcomes and patient experience. Researchers will compare people using the platform with those receiving standard care, and interview patients and staff about their experiences.
Portsmouth, HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06717698RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new medicine for kidney damage in chronic kidney disease
This study tests different doses of an investigational medicine (NNC0519-0130) to see if it can reduce kidney damage in people with chronic kidney disease. It may be an option for you if you have kidney impairment and either have or don't have type 2 diabetes.
San Dimas, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06725810RecruitingPhase 4
Enarodustat for anemia in chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis)

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic renal disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 342 recruiting chronic renal 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 renal 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 renal 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.
