Recruiting studies
- 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.

New Blood Test to Detect Kidney Transplant Rejection
This trial is testing a new blood test (called TreaT-Assay) to help diagnose acute rejection after a kidney transplant. The goal is to catch rejection earlier and more accurately, so you can get the right treatment faster.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06877169Recruiting
Staged heart and kidney transplant study
This study compares two ways of doing a combined heart and kidney transplant. It looks at doing the surgeries in separate stages instead of all at once, to see if that is safer or works better.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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.

Al Mansurah, Please SelectAges 18 years+ - NCT06917950RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Roxadustat for bone and brain health in dialysis patients
This study tests whether roxadustat, a medicine for anemia, can also help with bone problems and mood or thinking issues in people on hemodialysis.
Al Mansurah, DakahliyaAges 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
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.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–80 - NCT07053462RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene-edited kidney transplant to lower rejection risk
This trial tests a specially edited donor kidney designed to reduce the chance of rejection, especially for people with high sensitivity to donor kidneys. If it works, it could make more kidneys available for those who have a hard time finding a match.
Beijing, ChangpingAges 16–85 - NCT07059962Recruiting
Sensor-based congestion alert for peritoneal dialysis
This study tests a new sensor system that can predict fluid overload (congestion) in people on peritoneal dialysis. It may help you and your care team spot problems early so you can avoid hospital visits.
Victorville, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT07119372RecruitingPhase 3
New drug for anemia from kidney disease on dialysis
This trial tests a new drug called BCD-131 (a biosimilar to Mircera) for treating anemia in people with kidney disease on dialysis. It compares the new drug to the standard treatment to see if it works just as well and is safe.
MinskAges 18–75 - NCT07123909Recruiting
Immune adsorbent therapy for dialysis patients with inflammation
This study tests a therapy that absorbs inflammatory substances from the blood during dialysis. It may help people on dialysis who have ongoing inflammation, shown by high IL-6 or CRP levels.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07153939Recruiting
Study of a new device to create dialysis access
This trial tests a new device called the Velocity pAVF System that creates a connection between a vein and artery in your arm for hemodialysis. If you need dialysis now or within the next 6 months, this could be a new option for you.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT07157397Recruiting
Plant-based diet for nutrition on dialysis
This study tests if eating more plant-based foods can improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who are underweight or malnourished. Participants will follow a special diet plan and have regular health check-ups for 6 months.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT07211035Recruiting
Study of a device to help create a working dialysis access
This study tests a device that widens your vein before creating the connection used for dialysis. The goal is to help the access mature faster and work better for your treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07217535Recruiting
Studying the genetics of kidney disease
This study collects DNA and health information from people in the U.S. to better understand how genes may affect kidney disease. Your participation could help researchers find new ways to prevent or treat kidney problems.
Piscataway, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07224763RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pig kidney transplant trial for kidney failure patients
This trial tests a genetically modified pig kidney (Thymokidney) for people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. It aims to see if this new type of transplant is safe and effective for those who cannot get a human kidney.
New York, New YorkAges 40–70 - NCT07237295Recruiting
CommunityRx Kidney Health Support Program
This study is testing a program called CommunityRx that gives kidney health information and resources to people with chronic kidney disease. It aims to help you better manage your condition between doctor visits.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for end stage kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 150 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.
