Test whether FGF19 helps non-diabetic kidney disease
This study looks at FGF19 to see if it can improve chronic kidney disease in people who do not have diabetes. Participants may receive FGF19 (and may need extra testing such as muscle biopsies).
Pierre-BéniteAges 18–70 - NCT05188885Recruiting
Chronic kidney disease registry for real-world care
This study collects health information from people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and also from some people without CKD but with kidney risk factors. It helps doctors understand how CKD develops and how it’s managed in everyday life, not to test a new drug.
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05942053RecruitingPhase 4
Vitamin K2 for chronic kidney disease with high urine protein
This trial studies whether vitamin K2 can help people with chronic kidney disease (kidney damage that lasts months or longer), especially those with higher protein levels in the urine. It compares vitamin K2 use in a specific group and watches kidney-related health outcomes and safety.
Tanta, Capital of Gharbia Governorate.Ages 18 years+ - NCT05942027RecruitingPhase 4
CoQ10 in early-to-moderate kidney disease with high urine protein
This study tests whether taking coenzyme Q10 can improve chronic kidney disease in adults with moderate kidney function and higher urine protein. It also looks at safety, especially for blood pressure and potassium levels.
Tanta, Capital of Gharbia Governorate.Ages 18 years+ - NCT06322056Recruiting
Lower blood pressure and cholesterol targets for advanced kidney disease
This trial tests whether keeping blood pressure and cholesterol at lower-than-usual levels can help slow the decline of kidney function in people with advanced chronic kidney disease. If you have moderately to severely reduced kidney function and meet certain blood pressure and cholesterol criteria, you may be able to join.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06325644Recruiting
Ketogenic diet for polycystic kidney disease
This study tests whether a ketogenic diet can slow the progression of polycystic kidney disease in adults who are at risk for rapid decline. You'll follow a carefully planned low-carb, high-fat diet to see if it helps protect your kidneys.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT06051058Recruiting
App for managing health after hospital discharge
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people with multiple health conditions manage their care after leaving the hospital. It may help you feel more supported and avoid confusion during the transition from hospital to home.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 55 years+ - NCT06501222Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for kidney protection in CKD
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06527768Recruiting
Helping with metabolic syndrome and kidney disease through lifestyle changes
This study tests a program that uses WeChat to help people with metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease make healthy lifestyle changes. They want to see if this support can improve health and slow down kidney problems.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06715735Recruiting
A health coaching program for metabolic syndrome with kidney disease
This trial tests if a personalized health coaching program can help people with metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease make lasting lifestyle changes. If you have both conditions and are not yet on dialysis, this program may help you manage your health.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06725810RecruitingPhase 4
Enarodustat for anemia in chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis)
This trial tests enarodustat, a pill for anemia, in people with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis. It aims to see if it can safely raise hemoglobin levels.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06953180Recruiting
Epigenetics, aging, and disease prevention study in Kazakhstan
This study looks at how your genes and environment affect your risk for non-communicable diseases like heart disease or diabetes. It aims to predict your biological age and help create personalized prevention plans.
Almaty, KazakhstanAges 18–69 - NCT07173062Recruiting
Algae supplement for heart health and gut bacteria
This study tests whether a supplement made from algae can help improve markers of heart health and affect the bacteria in your gut. It is for people age 50 and older who already have a condition like heart disease, kidney disease, or diabetes.
PortoAges 50 years+ - NCT07239570RecruitingPhase 4
Using biomarkers to personalize kidney disease treatment
This study tests if matching treatments to your specific kidney disease markers can better protect your kidneys. It looks at how well Finerenone, Dapagliflozin, and Semaglutide work alone or in a sequence.
HerlevAges 18–75 - NCT02411773RecruitingPhase 1
Test a nerve-blocking medicine in kidney disease
This Phase 1 study tests whether a medicine that reduces nerve signals (“sympatholysis”) is safe and how it affects people with chronic kidney disease. It may help researchers understand new ways to protect the kidneys, but the main goal here is safety.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT02848131Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing dasatinib and quercetin in diabetes-related kidney disease
This study tests whether two medicines (dasatinib and quercetin) can affect “cell aging” in people with chronic kidney disease related to diabetes. You may be asked to take pills for a short period and complete follow-up visits to measure how your body responds.

New Taipei City, Taishan DistrictAges 20 years+ - NCT06828562Enrolling by invitation
Genes and kidney disease risk study
This study looks at how genes affect kidney disease in people from diverse backgrounds. It may help researchers understand why some people get kidney disease and others don't, which could lead to better prevention and treatment.

Test drug to slow kidney damage in type 2 diabetes
This Phase 2 study compares tofogliflozin to metformin to see how well they reduce urine albumin levels (a marker of kidney stress) in people with diabetic kidney disease. You might benefit if your type 2 diabetes is affecting your kidneys despite standard blood-pressure medicines.

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.
