Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT04916132Recruiting
Diabetic kidney damage study using urine tests and biopsy
This study looks at how common diabetic kidney damage is in people with type 2 diabetes, and which factors can predict it. If you qualify, you may be asked to have a kidney biopsy to understand what’s happening inside your kidneys.
Skejby, AarhusAges 18–120 - NCT06810258Recruiting
Biomarkers before and after kidney transplant
This study will collect blood samples from people having a kidney biopsy or a kidney transplant to look for biomarkers (biological signs) that can give doctors more information about kidney health. Participating may help doctors better understand and treat kidney disease in the future.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT05467033RecruitingPhase 3
Desmopressin to improve safety after kidney biopsy
This trial tests whether desmopressin can make kidney biopsy safer by reducing bleeding risk. It compares safety outcomes after a biopsy in people who meet specific blood, medication, and health criteria.
BialystokAges 18–99 - NCT04449991Recruiting
Repeat kidney biopsy in new lupus kidney disease
This study looks at whether doing a planned second kidney biopsy about 12 months later helps doctors understand and guide treatment for people with newly diagnosed lupus nephritis. You may be put on standard lupus-kidney medications, and the main “test” is the repeat biopsy timing.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06472947Recruiting
New imaging tests to check kidney transplant health
This study is testing two new types of scans that use sound and light waves to check the health of your transplanted kidney without needing a needle biopsy. If you are already scheduled for a biopsy, the researchers want to see if these scans can give the same information in a less invasive way.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT05896839RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy with prednisone and sirolimus for transplant skin cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding immunotherapy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) to prednisone and sirolimus can control advanced skin cancers in people with kidney transplants. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for transplant recipients.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04334707Recruiting
Study kidney damage in people with long-term diabetes
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03844399Recruiting
3D ultrasound imaging during liver or kidney procedures
This study uses a new 3D ultrasound scan while you get standard care for a liver or kidney biopsy or ablation. The goal is to see whether the imaging is clear and useful during these procedures.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04623502Recruiting
Study of kidney and bladder cancer metabolism during surgery
This study looks at how kidney and bladder (urothelial) tumors use fuel by taking samples during surgery or biopsy. It may help researchers learn what drives these cancers and guide better future treatments.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04322318RecruitingPhase 2
Study of combination chemotherapy for Wilms tumor in children
This Phase 2 trial tests combination chemotherapy for children with certain types of Wilms tumor—either newly diagnosed diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumor or favorable Wilms tumor that has come back. The goal is to see how well the treatment controls the tumor and is tolerable for children.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 30 years - NCT05728216Recruiting
Using a special eye-scan to study kidney biopsy samples
This study tests whether a noninvasive “eye-scan” during a kidney biopsy can help doctors tell the difference between acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. If it works, it may improve how kidney problems are diagnosed in routine practice.
Chalon-sur-Saône, Saône-et-LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT07760480RecruitingPhase 4
Intensified treatment for lupus nephritis
This study tests whether adding a drug called voclosporin to the usual treatment for lupus nephritis (a kidney disease caused by lupus) can better reduce kidney inflammation. It also looks at the role of immune cells in this process.
AmsterdamAges 16–70 - NCT03321656RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Envarsus XR after kidney transplant to reduce hidden rejection
This study looks at whether Envarsus XR helps prevent “subclinical” (not obviously noticeable) kidney transplant rejection by changing blood immune test results. You may be able to join if you recently received a kidney transplant and can take the study medicine as required.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–75 - NCT03929887Recruiting
Kidney biopsy patients join a kidney tissue research bank
This study builds a kidney tissue “library” to help researchers analyze kidney disease in newer ways. It may help by improving how glomerular (kidney filter) diseases are understood over time, using samples from people who already had a biopsy.
ChuncheonAges Any age - NCT06642402Recruiting
Studying lupus kidney disease using urine particles
This study looks at tiny particles in urine to better understand and monitor lupus-related kidney problems. It may help find better ways to track the disease without invasive biopsies.
KoldingAges 18 years+ - NCT01209000Recruiting
Study for children with new kidney protein loss
This study is for children (and some newly diagnosed patients) who have nephrotic syndrome—kidneys leaking a lot of protein. It aims to better understand the kidney condition (sometimes using biopsy) and support future care decisions.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Up to 80 years - NCT06047106Recruiting
MRI study for kidney transplant from living donor
This study uses special MRI scans after a living-donor kidney transplant to check how well the kidney is working. It aims to see if MRI can help monitor kidney health without needing a biopsy.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06676384RecruitingPhase 4
Testing additional drugs for IgA nephropathy in South Asian patients
This trial is testing if adding another approved drug to standard treatment can slow kidney function decline in people with IgA nephropathy. It aims to find better options for South Asian adults with this condition.
Nadiād, GujaratAges 18–65 - NCT06797518RecruitingPhase 2
Testing iptacopan for IgA nephropathy kidney changes
This study tests if adding iptacopan to standard care can improve kidney health in adults with IgA nephropathy. You may qualify if you have a kidney biopsy confirming IgA nephropathy and your kidney function is stable enough.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–99 - NCT05996731Recruiting
Using RNA tests to help diagnose rare genetic diseases
This study uses RNA sequencing to find genetic causes of rare diseases that standard DNA tests might miss. It may help people who have symptoms of a rare disease but no clear genetic diagnosis yet.
Ranica, BGAges Any age - NCT04896047Recruiting
Test whether FGF19 helps non-diabetic kidney disease
This study looks at FGF19 to see if it can improve chronic kidney disease in people who do not have diabetes. Participants may receive FGF19 (and may need extra testing such as muscle biopsies).
Pierre-BéniteAges 18–70 - NCT05890781Recruiting
Study pediatric cancer using lab-made immune organoids
This trial uses special lab models (“immune organoids”) to study certain cancers in children and young people. It may help researchers learn what those cancers do and improve future treatment ideas.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for kidney biopsy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 37 recruiting kidney biopsy 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 kidney biopsy 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 kidney biopsy 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.
