Recruiting studies
- NCT07134335RecruitingPhase 2
Study of UBT251 injection for chronic kidney disease
This study tests an investigational injection called UBT251 for people with chronic kidney disease who are overweight. It aims to see if it can reduce protein in the urine and help protect kidney function.

Comparing two treatments for high blood pressure and kidney disease
This trial tests if a new treatment combination (finerenone plus a water pill) works better than a standard fixed-dose combination for people with both high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease. It aims to find which option provides more clinical benefit.

Study for adults with confirmed polycystic kidney disease
This study enrolls adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) to better understand the disease and its related changes in the body. It may help researchers find improved ways to track the condition and support future treatments.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02947750RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise study in people with kidney disease
This Phase 2 study tests how engaging in supervised exercise affects the body’s blood-vessel responses in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who don’t exercise regularly. It may help researchers understand whether exercise could be beneficial for CKD-related health changes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT02936791Recruiting
Study of early inherited kidney cysts and healthy volunteers
This observational study follows people early in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and also some healthy volunteers to learn how the kidneys work over time. It may help researchers understand early changes, which could guide future treatments.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 4–35 - NCT07437729Recruiting
Glycocalyx and stress in blood vessel health
This study looks at how a protective layer inside your blood vessels (called the glycocalyx) and stress in the body relate to blood pressure and kidney health. Doctors want to compare people with high blood pressure and different stages of kidney damage to healthy volunteers.
OsijekAges 18 years+ - NCT07555717Recruiting
STARgraft Pilot: New Arm Access for Kidney Dialysis
This trial tests a new graft (artificial blood vessel) placed in your upper arm to help you receive kidney dialysis. The graft connects an artery to a vein, creating a reliable access point for dialysis needles.
AsunciónAges 18 years+ - NCT07499856Enrolling by invitation
Exercise and mindfulness during dialysis
This trial tests whether combining exercise with mindfulness (a mental relaxation technique) during dialysis sessions can improve well-being. You watch videos that guide you through exercises and mindfulness while receiving treatment.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT07151742Enrolling by invitation
Exercise during dialysis for muscle health
This study tests whether exercise during hemodialysis can improve muscle oxygen levels and how well dialysis works. It is for people who have been on dialysis for at least a year and have muscle loss (sarcopenia).
Istanbul, KadikoyAges 18–65 - NCT05279742Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug to boost a hormone system in HFpEF
This early-phase trial tests a treatment that aims to improve the “natriuretic peptide” hormone system in people with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping strength). It may help reduce symptoms and improve heart and fluid pressure behavior, especially in certain related conditions like kidney disease.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05199454Recruiting
Study how “fat-like” particles affect blood vessel function
This study looks at whether tiny fat-based particles (“adiposomes”) can affect how well your blood vessels work, especially in people with diabetes and higher body weight. You may be asked to do moderate exercise and other study procedures after passing safety checks.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–50 - NCT07256613Recruiting
Gum treatment and kidney health in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether non-surgical gum treatment can help improve kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes and gum disease. If you have both conditions and your kidneys are still working well, this treatment may help prevent further kidney damage.
Karachi, SindhAges 30–65 - NCT04039763Recruiting
Glucose monitoring for young adults at risk of DKA
This study tests a real-time glucose monitor (RT-CGM) to help young adults with insulin-treated diabetes recognize dangerously high or fast-changing blood sugars. It may help lower the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious complication that can lead to urgent care or hospital stays.
LondonAges 18–25 - NCT06861062Recruiting
Vitamin D and yeast beta-glucan for type 2 diabetes
This trial tests if taking vitamin D3 and yeast beta-glucan supplements can help control blood sugar and lower heart disease risk in people with type 2 diabetes. It may be an option for those who want to see if supplements can improve their diabetes management.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 40–79 - NCT07588256Recruiting
AI Digital Health Platform for High Blood Pressure and Related Conditions
This study uses artificial intelligence and a digital health app to help manage high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, kidney disease, and heart disease. It aims to help people track their health at home and receive better care recommendations through technology.
New Taipei CityAges Any age - NCT04040777Recruiting
Cardiometabolic risk registry for adults

Pilar, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT05856318Recruiting
Study heart and diabetes health in first-time pregnancy
This study looks at how your heart health and blood-sugar health change when you are trying for, or not planning, a first pregnancy. It may help researchers understand which early health factors matter for you and future pregnancy outcomes.

Henagliflozin for liver fat in diabetes and fatty liver
This study tests whether a medicine called henagliflozin can help reduce fat in the liver for people with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It may help improve liver health and blood sugar control at the same time.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06695221Recruiting
Kefir trial for better health in Edmonton adults
This study tests if drinking kefir, a fermented dairy drink, can improve health in adults who are overweight or have high blood sugar or type 2 diabetes. It looks at how kefir might help with weight, blood sugar, and overall wellness.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diabetic kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 323 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.
