ESRD clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 8 recruiting esrd studies with a site in California — including Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- 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 - 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+ - NCT06366230RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding urea to final dialysis fluid
This trial tests adding urea to the final dialysis fluid for people with very high urea levels. It aims to make dialysis safer and more effective for those who need it urgently.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06487546Recruiting
Ergothioneine supplement study for dialysis patients
This study tests whether giving a natural antioxidant called ergothioneine can help people with kidney failure who are on dialysis. It aims to see if it improves their health or well-being.
Palo Alto, 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT07339202Recruiting
Timing of dialysis before surgery for kidney failure
This study looks at the best timing for dialysis before planned surgery in people with kidney failure. It aims to find out if changing when you have dialysis can improve recovery and reduce complications.

What taking part in a esrd 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 esrd clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting esrd 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 esrd 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 esrd 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 esrd 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.
