TB test study for kidney disease or transplant patients
This study looks at better ways to find hidden (subclinical) tuberculosis (TB) in people with serious kidney disease or those who have had a kidney transplant. If you have kidney failure on dialysis or have a kidney transplant, you may qualify and help improve TB detection.
BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06755372Recruiting
TLR-4 in gum disease patients with kidney failure
This study looks at a specific immune marker (TLR-4) in people with gum disease, comparing those who also have end-stage kidney disease (on dialysis) to those who are otherwise healthy. The goal is to understand how gum disease might be different when kidney failure is also present.
Al Fayyum, Faiyum GovernorateAges 30–60 - NCT06836206RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gum arabic and kidney function in dialysis patients
This trial tests if taking gum arabic, a natural fiber, can help preserve the remaining kidney function in adults on dialysis. If you produce at least 200 ml of urine a day, this study might help you learn about a possible way to protect your kidneys.
Abu DhabiAges 18 years+ - NCT06878560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pig kidney transplant for kidney failure patients
This trial tests a special pig kidney (10 GE Xenokidney) as a transplant option for people with kidney failure who cannot get a human kidney. It aims to offer a life-saving alternative.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40–70 - NCT06906874RecruitingPhase 2
Activated charcoal for kidney disease patients on dialysis
This trial tests if taking activated charcoal by mouth can help people with advanced kidney disease who are already on dialysis. It may improve how the body handles certain waste products and reduce the need for other medicines.
Al Mansurah, Please SelectAges 18 years+ - NCT06933472RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new phosphate binder for dialysis patients
This trial tests a new drug called AP301 to lower high phosphate levels in people on dialysis. It's designed to help control phosphate, which can be hard to manage with diet and current medications.
Granada Hills, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06989892Recruiting
Comparing two dialysis filters for sepsis patients
This trial tests whether a newer, higher-performing dialysis filter helps people with kidney failure and sepsis better than the standard filter. It focuses on patients with high levels of inflammation (measured by a marker called interleukin-6).
Dusit, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT07017270RecruitingPhase 4
GLP-1 drugs for people with diabetes on dialysis
This study tests if a type 2 diabetes medication called a GLP-1 receptor agonist (like Ozempic) is safe and effective for people on dialysis. It may help manage blood sugar and improve health outcomes for those with kidney failure.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07033117Recruiting

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 40 recruiting end stage kidney disease (esrd) 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 (esrd) 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 (esrd) 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.
