Study of orforglipron for heart and kidney health.
This trial tests if orforglipron can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure in people with heart disease or chronic kidney disease.
Bahía BlancaAges 50 years+ - NCT05390892RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing kidney and heart damage in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether diabetes medicines can help prevent worsening heart and kidney problems in people with type 2 diabetes. You’ll be assigned by chance to one of these medicine types, and your other care will be adjusted for safety.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 40–80 - NCT07187479Recruiting
Testing a new insulin approach for kidney disease and diabetes
This study tests a new approach to help your body use insulin better, which may improve blood sugar control and slow down kidney disease. It is for people with advanced chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes who are not yet on dialysis.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03595267Recruiting
Kidney health checks and care for Indigenous communities
This study offers kidney-related health screening and follow-up care for people in Indigenous communities. It’s designed to help check kidney health early using simple health measurements, and may help you get guidance sooner if anything looks off.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 10–80 - NCT03716401Recruiting
Imaging tests to predict kidney disease in type 2 diabetes
This study uses special kidney imaging to look for patterns that can predict how diabetic kidney disease may progress. It may help researchers find better ways to identify people at higher risk using noninvasive (and possibly biopsy-related) tests.
TurkuAges 18–80 - NCT03865914Recruiting
Study linking diabetes kidney findings to biopsy results
This study looks at people with type 2 diabetes who have kidney problems and relates their symptoms and lab findings to what is seen on kidney biopsy. It may help doctors better understand what is driving kidney damage in diabetes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03945968Recruiting
Risk scores after abdominal surgery for people with health conditions
This study looks at how other health problems affect the chance of postoperative complications after abdominal surgery. It aims to help doctors better predict risk and decide on the safest care for you.
ArkhangelskAges 18 years+ - NCT03987633Recruiting
Study links health records and samples to understand health gaps
This study asks people affected by a specific illness (or their family member) to share saliva (and sometimes blood) and answer health and quality-of-life questions. The goal is to better understand and reduce health inequality by matching new information with medical records.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 6 years+ - NCT06969807RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells for diabetic kidney disease
This trial tests whether a type of stem cell called mesenchymal stromal cells (Amimestrocel) can help people with diabetic kidney disease. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and can improve kidney function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04185844Recruiting
Chronic kidney health study for Native American adults
This study follows Native American adults with kidney function changes (either moderately reduced kidney filtration or early urine protein). It aims to better understand kidney disease over time and what factors predict progress, which may help improve care for people like you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21–80 - NCT04334707Recruiting
Study kidney damage in people with long-term diabetes
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04706481Recruiting
Use of stored, de-identified samples for research
This trial is for people who already agreed to let researchers use their stored biological samples and medical information that has been removed of personal identifiers. It may help future studies by allowing researchers to analyze existing samples without using new samples from you.
Hong KongAges Any age - NCT04752293Recruiting
Study of a kidney blood-pressure system in kids
This study looks at how a kidney-related blood-pressure system works in children and teenagers, comparing those with newly diagnosed primary (no known cause) high blood pressure to those with normal blood pressure. It may help doctors better understand childhood blood-pressure changes and guide future care.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 7–18 - NCT04916132Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diabetic kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 321 recruiting diabetic 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 diabetic 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 diabetic 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.
