Recruiting studies
- NCT03573089Recruiting
Testing higher vs standard phosphate targets in dialysis patients
This trial compares two treatment goals for blood phosphate levels in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. It may help determine which target is safer and works better in real-world care.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07781124Recruiting
Remote monitoring for kidney dialysis patients
This study compares the effectiveness and resource use of remote patient monitoring across different dialysis methods for people with end-stage renal disease. It aims to see if remote monitoring can improve care and outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–79 - NCT06749457RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for healthy adults and kidney patients on dialysis
This trial tests a new drug called AZD7760 in two groups: healthy adults (Phase I) and adults with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis through a central venous catheter (Phase IIa). The goal is to see how safe the drug is and how the body processes it. This could lead to a new treatment option for people on dialysis.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18–55 - NCT07348237RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new kidney disease drug in patients with kidney failure
This trial tests the safety of a new medicine (MK-2828) in people with advanced kidney disease or on dialysis, and compares them to healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand how the drug works in the body and if it's safe for these patients.
Miami Lakes, FloridaAges 24–85 - NCT05846581Recruiting
Dialysis graft registry for adults getting a new vascular graft
This registry follows adults with kidney failure who need a dialysis access connection in the arm using the GORE ACUSEAL graft. It helps track outcomes and safety over time while you receive standard dialysis care.
BielefeldAges 18 years+ - NCT05485961RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Clazakizumab for kidney failure patients on dialysis
This study tests an experimental drug called clazakizumab (CSL300) to see if it can reduce inflammation and lower the risk of heart problems in people with kidney failure who are on dialysis. It may help if you have diabetes or heart disease and have high inflammation levels.
Decatur, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07754097Recruiting
Tracking your health at home for chronic kidney disease
This study tests if regularly tracking your blood pressure, diet, and medications through a mobile app can help monitor kidney disease progression. It aims to see if this self-management approach helps you stay healthier.
Daejeon, DJAges 19–84 - NCT05828823Recruiting
Two-times-a-week dialysis for new patients
This study tests whether starting dialysis at twice a week, instead of the usual three times, is safe and effective for people who still have some kidney function. If the kidneys still make urine and clear waste, being on dialysis less often may maintain that function longer.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05204212Recruiting
Heart procedure to close an atrial clot risk pouch in kidney failure
This trial tests a heart procedure that closes a part of the heart called the left atrial appendage to help prevent stroke in people with an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) and very advanced kidney disease. It’s mainly for patients who can take the needed blood-thinner medicines and who do not already have a clot in that pouch.
Lübeck, Schleswig-HolsteinAges 18 years+ - NCT07134595Recruiting
Comparing two peritoneal dialysis schedules in children with kidney failure
This trial tests a modified version of daily peritoneal dialysis (M-CAPD) versus the standard version (C-CAPD) for children in low-resource settings who have end-stage kidney disease. It aims to see if the modified schedule works better for clearing waste and fluid.
Manila, ErmitaAges 2–18 - NCT07653711Recruiting
Coated aldehyde oxystarch for reducing toxins in kidney failure
This trial tests a new oral medication, coated aldehyde oxystarch, for people on dialysis. It aims to lower certain waste products in the blood that are hard to remove with standard dialysis, which may help reduce long-term complications.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05671991RecruitingPhase 4
Empagliflozin study for kidney and belly membrane function
This trial tests whether empagliflozin improves kidney health and the function of the belly’s dialysis membrane in people with end-stage kidney disease who do peritoneal dialysis. It may help by changing how well the peritoneal dialysis system works and how the kidneys perform over time.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07729683Recruiting
Testing wakame seaweed for kidney disease patients
This study tests whether eating a daily dose of wakame seaweed can lower certain waste products (AGEs) in your blood that build up with kidney disease. It's for people with moderate chronic kidney disease who are already on standard protective medications.
La RochelleAges 18–90 - NCT07651436Recruiting
Depression screening in patients on kidney dialysis
This study tests whether nurses can effectively screen for depression in patients receiving regular kidney dialysis treatment. The goal is to find the best way to identify depression early so patients can get help.
AnnecyAges 18 years+ - NCT07710183Recruiting
Pumpkin seed oil for hemodialysis patients
This study tests if pumpkin seed oil, a natural supplement, can improve health in people on long-term dialysis. It may help with inflammation and nutrition without using prescription drugs.
Baghdad, KarkhAges 18 years+ - NCT03586518Recruiting
Non-contrast heart MRI test in dialysis patients
This trial checks whether a new kind of heart MRI (done without contrast dye) can help doctors see heart changes in people receiving hemodialysis. It may help improve how heart health is measured in dialysis care, especially for people with limited time.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT03787589Recruiting
Exercise program for people on dialysis
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program (using Nordic walking poles) is safe and helpful for adults with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. You may be eligible if you can do the exercise safely and are able to consent.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03803423Recruiting

Biobank study collecting samples about kidney health in Black adults
This study builds a research “bank” (biorepository) of blood and other samples from Black adults with different stages of kidney health, including people with kidney disease and people without known kidney disease. It may help researchers better understand kidney risk and causes over time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for end stage kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 149 recruiting end stage 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 end stage 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 end stage 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.
