Magnetic resonance imaging to study kidney disease
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at the kidneys in people with different kinds of kidney disease, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, vasculitis, and after a kidney transplant. The goal is to better understand these conditions.
EdinburghAges 18 years+ - NCT06694558Recruiting
Monocytes in type 1 diabetes and kidney disease study
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).
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT06676527Recruiting
Vorolanib for advanced kidney cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a targeted therapy pill, vorolanib, for people with advanced kidney cancer that has clear cell features and has gotten worse after initial treatment. It may offer a new option when standard second-line treatments are not working.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06660277Recruiting
Dialysis with expanded solute removal study
This trial tests a special dialysis filter (Elisio HX) that removes more waste products from the blood. It aims to see if this approach improves health outcomes for people on regular in-center hemodialysis.

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.
