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 - 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.
CambridgeAges 18–45 - NCT06449833RecruitingPhase 4
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 - NCT04040777Recruiting
Cardiometabolic risk registry for adults
This study is a health registry that collects information about risk factors for heart and metabolic problems in adults. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and guide future prevention strategies.
Pilar, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT07027995Recruiting
Food and Fitness with Medicine
This study tests a program that combines nutrition counseling, online grocery support, and exercise sessions for people taking GLP-1 medications. It aims to help manage conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, kidney disease, or metabolic syndrome.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 24–70 - NCT07126197Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diabetic kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 316 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.
