Semaglutide for kidney disease in adults with type 1 diabetes
This Phase 2 study tests semaglutide (a diabetes and weight-related medicine) to see if it can slow or improve diabetic kidney disease in people with type 1 diabetes. You may be able to join if you have type 1 diabetes for at least 5 years and ongoing signs of kidney damage measured in urine tests.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05881447Recruiting
Study kidney disease patterns in people in Tanzania
This study looks at how common chronic kidney disease is, how it develops over time, and what risk factors are linked to it. It may help improve how kidney disease is recognized and managed in your community.
Bagamoyo, Coast RegionAges 18–99 - NCT05888909Recruiting
Tests better diagnosis and treatment planning for kidney disease in type 2 diabetes
This trial focuses on improving how kidney damage is diagnosed and how treatment is planned for people with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease. It may help by using detailed medical history and (if done) kidney biopsy results to guide care more accurately.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05918523Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for people treated with REACT
This study checks long-term health outcomes in people who previously received a treatment called REACT for chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors understand how safe and effective REACT is over time.
Meridian, IdahoAges 30–80 - NCT06065852Recruiting
National registry for rare kidney diseases
This study creates a registry to collect health information from people with rare kidney diseases. It aims to improve understanding and future treatments by tracking patient experiences.
Bristol, South WestAges Any age - NCT06082063RecruitingPhase 3
Reducing heart disease risk in type 1 diabetes
This trial tests a combination of treatments to lower the risk of heart disease and kidney problems in people with type 1 diabetes who already have some complications or higher risk. If you qualify, you will receive extra care aimed at preventing heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure.
CopenhagenAges 40–90 - NCT06217302RecruitingPhase 3
Sotagliflozin for kidney protection in type 1 diabetes
This study tests whether sotagliflozin (a pill that helps control blood sugar and protects the kidneys) can slow down kidney function decline in people with type 1 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. You may qualify if you have had type 1 diabetes for at least 8 years, have moderate kidney damage, and are on standard treatments.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06288204Recruiting
Green Propolis and Royal Jelly for Kidney Health
This trial tests whether a supplement made from green propolis (a natural bee product) and royal jelly can help people with high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease. It aims to see if the supplement can improve kidney health and blood pressure control.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–75 - NCT06291155RecruitingPhase 4
How SGLT2 inhibitors work in the kidneys for type 2 diabetes
This study tests how a drug called canagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) affects kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes. It involves two kidney biopsies to see how the drug works inside your kidneys, aiming to better protect kidney health.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–80 - NCT06441591RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of vinpocetine for diabetic kidney disease
This trial tests whether vinpocetine, a medicine that helps blood flow, can improve kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes and moderate to advanced kidney disease (stages 3 and 4). It may offer a new way to protect your kidneys.
Cairo, AbbasseiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06452862Recruiting
MRI for diabetic kidney disease

This study looks at immune cells (monocytes) in people with type 1 diabetes, with or without early kidney problems. Researchers want to understand how these cells differ between groups. You may be able to join if you have type 1 diabetes and use an insulin pump or injections along with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM).

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.
