End Stage Renal Disease clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 14 recruiting end stage renal disease studies with a site in California — including Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT03803423Recruiting
Using social media to find kidney or liver donors
This study tests a way to spread information on how to register as a live organ donor using social media. You may be contacted to help identify potential live kidney or liver donors, if you fit the study’s basic requirements.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06516653Recruiting
Study of VasQ implant for new dialysis fistula support
This study tests a small mesh support called VasQ that is placed around your new fistula to help it heal and stay open longer. It is for people who are getting a new fistula for dialysis access.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT04580420RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an oxalate-lowering medicine for PH1 and kidney failure
This Phase 2 study tests a medicine called DCR-PHXC to lower body oxalate levels in people with PH1 who have advanced kidney failure. By lowering oxalate, the treatment may reduce harm from oxalate buildup and help researchers understand safety and effectiveness.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06712654RecruitingPhase 2
Testing AP306 for high phosphate in dialysis patients
This trial tests a new medication called AP306 for people on hemodialysis who have high blood phosphate. It aims to see if the drug is safe, tolerable, and helps lower phosphate levels.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05422534RecruitingPhase 3
CoQ10 plus exercise for people with advanced kidney disease
This trial tests whether a supplement called CoQ10, along with supervised exercise, can improve how the body uses energy in people on chronic dialysis. It may help with muscle function and overall health if your heart and dialysis situation are stable enough.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05880537Recruiting
Dialysis access graft registry using a processed donor artery
This study follows people with kidney failure who need dialysis access, when they receive an AV (artery-to-vein) access graft made from a processed donor artery. It’s meant to track safety and how well the new graft performs in real-world care.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05931276RecruitingPhase 3
Beta blocker choice may improve heart outcomes on dialysis
This phase 3 study tests whether a specific beta blocker selection on hemodialysis can improve cardiovascular outcomes. It focuses on certain beta blockers commonly used through the VA pharmacy and compares them in a randomized way.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 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.
Garden Grove, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Dimas, CaliforniaAges 12 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.
Concord, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05001009Enrolling by invitation
Goals of care conversation support for certain serious illnesses
This study helps primary care clinicians and their patients have structured “goals of care” conversations (about what matters most and care preferences). It may help you get clearer, earlier planning—especially if you have a serious illness and higher risk of hospitalization or death.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05525507RecruitingPhase 1
Test early immune-tolerance treatment for matched kidney transplant patients
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment plan given after a kidney transplant to help the immune system stay calm and reduce the risk of rejection. Participants must have a well-functioning kidney transplant from a closely matched living donor and meet health and safety requirements.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07694544RecruitingPhase 1
Oral EC5026 study in people with kidney disease
This trial tests a medication called EC5026 in people with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD) to see how the body handles it. It helps understand if dose adjustments are needed for people with impaired kidney function.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 55 years+

What taking part in a end stage renal disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there end stage renal disease clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 14 recruiting end stage renal disease studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a end stage renal disease study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a end stage renal disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New end stage renal disease studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
