Recruiting studies
- NCT06801886Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Silymarin for better kidney transplant success
This trial tests if adding silymarin (a milk thistle extract) to standard anti-rejection medicines helps protect the new kidney from damage. It may improve how well the transplanted kidney works over time.
MartinAges Any age - NCT07191561Recruiting
Liver fat and alcohol use disorder study
This trial looks at how the liver processes fat in people with alcohol use disorder. It may help find better ways to treat liver problems related to drinking.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01893710Recruiting
Collecting children and adult belly fluid and tissue for kidney care research
This study collects samples from the belly (related to the peritoneal lining) to build a “biobank” for future research. It may help patients and families by improving understanding of kidney disease and kidney dialysis-related health issues.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 day–90 years - NCT03716401Recruiting
Imaging tests to predict kidney disease in type 2 diabetes
This study uses special kidney imaging to look for patterns that can predict how diabetic kidney disease may progress. It may help researchers find better ways to identify people at higher risk using noninvasive (and possibly biopsy-related) tests.
TurkuAges 18–80 - NCT00026884Recruiting
Blood and tissue sample collection for cancer research
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancer or suspected cancer, or from their blood relatives. Researchers use these samples to better understand cancer and develop new treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT05530356Enrolling by invitation
Study of kidney blood flow and insulin resistance in youth
This study looks at how well insulin is working and how the kidneys use energy by measuring kidney blood flow. It compares obese young people with and without type 2 diabetes to lean controls, using a PET scan (a special imaging test).
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12–26 - NCT05728957Recruiting
Biopsy and special scan for small kidney tumors
This trial studies using a kidney tumor biopsy and a special nuclear scan (SPECT/CT using sestamibi) to help evaluate kidney tumors before surgery. It may help doctors better characterize tumors that appear suspicious on imaging.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07327489Recruiting
Live tumor biopsy study to predict immunotherapy response
This trial studies how well immunotherapy might work by analyzing fresh tumor biopsies. It may help predict which treatments are best for your cancer.
Fort Smith, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT04522622RecruitingPhase 4
Teriparatide for low bone turnover in advanced kidney disease
This trial tests teriparatide (a hormone-like bone medicine) to improve bone health in people with advanced chronic kidney disease who are at risk for weak, low-turnover bone. It may help by changing how quickly your bones break down and rebuild.
AalborgAges 18–120 - NCT06661720RecruitingPhase 3
Tivozanib and pembrolizumab after kidney cancer surgery
This trial is testing if adding the targeted therapy tivozanib to the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) can help prevent kidney cancer from coming back after all known tumors have been removed by surgery.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03702309Recruiting
Banking and testing blood samples to study cancer
This study collects blood samples to “test and store” (bank) information that may help doctors understand cancer in the future. You might be able to join if you’re an adult with confirmed cancer or a higher-than-usual risk for cancer.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04981509RecruitingPhase 2
Check if 3 medicines help advanced kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining bevacizumab, erlotinib, and atezolizumab can shrink or control advanced kidney cancer. It’s aimed at people with certain kidney-cancer subtypes (including HLRCC-related cases or papillary kidney cancer) and who have not had many prior targeted or immune treatments.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06866262RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Inulin gel with immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding an inulin gel to standard immunotherapy (ipilimumab and nivolumab) can help treat kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It is for people who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+

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.
