FeldkirchAges 18–60 - NCT01241864RecruitingPhase 2
Islet transplant for type 1 diabetes after kidney transplant
This trial tests whether transplanting insulin-producing “islet” cells can better control blood sugar in people who have already received a kidney transplant. It’s mainly for adults with type 1 diabetes whose body is no longer making enough insulin, while they are on kidney-transplant medicines.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–68 - NCT06147414Recruiting
Blood test for genetic disorders in pregnancy
This study tests a safer blood test to check for certain genetic disorders during pregnancy, instead of an invasive procedure like amniocentesis. It's for pregnant women who are at risk of passing on a known genetic condition.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06331546Recruiting
Gut oxalate absorption in calcium oxalate stone patients
This study looks at how much oxalate (a substance in many foods) gets absorbed by the gut in people who form calcium oxalate kidney stones. You will eat a controlled diet and provide urine and blood samples over a few days.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–70 - NCT06959784Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
A study on new diabetes drugs for heart health and remission
This trial tests if newer diabetes medications can reduce heart risk and help achieve diabetes remission in people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It may be an option if you have not taken diabetes drugs before or stopped them over three months ago, and your blood sugar and weight are in certain ranges.
BeijingAges 30–70 - NCT06932874RecruitingPhase 4
Metformin for diabetes with heart disease
This trial tests a long-acting metformin pill in people with both type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease. It aims to see if metformin can safely help control blood sugar in this specific group.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 30–75 - NCT06760845Recruiting
Using light to diagnose kidney disease
This trial uses a special light technique (Raman spectroscopy) to help diagnose different types of kidney disease. It may provide a faster, less invasive way to understand your condition.
Jinan, ShandongAges Any age - NCT06095492Recruiting
Comparing diabetes drugs after kidney transplant
This trial tests two diabetes medications, empagliflozin and linagliptin, to see which one works better for controlling blood sugar, protecting kidney function, and improving body composition in people who have had a kidney transplant and have diabetes.
Gurgaon, HaryanaAges 30 years+ - NCT06560801RecruitingPhase 4
Dapagliflozin for kidney health after transplant
This trial tests whether taking dapagliflozin (a drug often used for diabetes and heart health) can help improve kidney structure and blood flow in people who received a kidney transplant at least 9 months ago. It may benefit those whose kidney function is stable, regardless of whether they have diabetes.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18–75 - NCT04663204RecruitingPhase 2
Sparsentan study for IgA kidney disease in adults
This Phase 2 trial studies whether sparsentan is safe and can slow down kidney damage in adults with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Participants may receive sparsentan to improve kidney-related measures such as protein in the urine.
Cambridge, EnglandAges 18 years+ - NCT07053462RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene-edited kidney transplant to lower rejection risk
This trial tests a specially edited donor kidney designed to reduce the chance of rejection, especially for people with high sensitivity to donor kidneys. If it works, it could make more kidneys available for those who have a hard time finding a match.
Beijing, ChangpingAges 16–85 - NCT06642272RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two diabetes drugs in real-world use
This trial compares two common diabetes medications, empagliflozin and dapagliflozin, to see which works better in everyday practice. It aims to find the best treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06801886Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
