Recruiting studies near Raleigh–Durham
- NCT05312879RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test drug VX-147 for APOL1-related protein in urine kidney disease
This trial studies whether VX-147 can improve kidney disease caused by an APOL1 gene change, which often leads to protein leaking into the urine. It includes both adults and children and focuses on safety and effectiveness over time.
Cary, North CarolinaAges 10–65 - 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.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06001827Recruiting
Study of a wrap to help new dialysis access points heal
This trial tests a special wrap placed around a new arm access point for dialysis (called an AV fistula) to see if it helps the access stay healthy and work better. It is for people who need a new AV fistula for kidney dialysis.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04671771Recruiting
Testing a new graft for hemodialysis access in kidney failure
This study tests whether an “AV graft” implant works safely and well for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. It may help your dialysis access last and work better, compared with current expectations for AV grafts.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18–90 - NCT04634916Recruiting
Check how a dialysis fistula device performs in real life
This study monitors how well the BD WavelinQ endoAVF device works after routine clinical use. It may help people who need a dialysis access fistula by sharing real-world safety and performance data.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04160507Recruiting
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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05832229RecruitingPhase 2
Studying rosuvastatin to slow liver scarring in cirrhosis
This Phase 2 trial tests whether rosuvastatin (a cholesterol-lowering medicine) can improve how well the liver functions and slow worsening scarring in people with cirrhosis. It also checks for side effects and safety.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT07033117Recruiting
Improving kidney transplant access with RaDIANT
This trial tests if a special program helps dialysis centers refer more people to large transplant centers for a kidney transplant.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - 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.

You stay in control
