Recruiting studies in Utah
- NCT07107945RecruitingPhase 3
Study of empagliflozin for children with chronic kidney disease
This trial tests if empagliflozin, a daily pill, is safe and helps children ages 2–17 with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Your child may be eligible if they have reduced kidney function and elevated protein in their urine, and are already on stable kidney treatments.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 2–17 - NCT05457283RecruitingPhase 3
Finerenone safety study for children with kidney disease
This trial studies how safely finerenone works over 18 months in children and young adults with chronic kidney disease who also take an ACE inhibitor or ARB. It aims to better understand long-term side effects when used together with standard kidney blood-pressure medicines.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 1–18 - NCT07006831Recruiting
Blood study for kidney transplant patients

Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT01401998Recruiting
Study collecting information from people with ARPKD
This study looks at medical records, imaging, and genetic testing for people with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). It may help researchers better understand the condition and how it affects the liver and kidneys.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges Up to 18 years - NCT06742723RecruitingPhase 3
Study of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin for kidney disease and high blood pressure
This trial tests if combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin helps protect kidney function and reduce heart risks in people with chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure. It's for adults who are already taking standard blood pressure medications.
South Salt Lake, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT03633708RecruitingPhase 3
Etelcalcetide for children with dialysis-related overactive parathyroid hormone
This trial studies etelcalcetide in children who have chronic kidney disease and too much parathyroid hormone while on hemodialysis. It aims to safely lower the hormone levels and help manage related bone/mineral problems.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges birth–18 years - NCT06625073RecruitingPhase 4
SGLT2i for heart transplant recipients
This trial is testing a medication called SGLT2i (a type of diabetes drug that also helps the heart and kidneys) in people who have received a heart transplant. It aims to see if this drug can improve health after transplant.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT04782258RecruitingPhase 3
Testing the safety of tolvaptan in children with ARPKD
This trial is for children from 28 days old up to 18 years who have a rare kidney disease called ARPKD. It will test if the drug tolvaptan is safe for them. The study helps find new treatment options for kids with this condition.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 4 weeks–18 years - NCT06963827RecruitingPhase 3
Study of mezagitamab for IgA nephropathy
This trial tests a new drug called mezagitamab for adults with IgA nephropathy, a kidney condition. The study aims to see if this drug can help reduce protein in the urine and preserve kidney function. You may be eligible if your kidney function is above a certain level and your urine protein is high enough.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06823115Enrolling by invitation
Worldwide study of kidney injury in newborns
This study looks at how common acute kidney injury is in newborns in the intensive care unit. It helps doctors understand which babies are at risk and how to prevent kidney problems.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges birth–2 weeks - NCT07662135RecruitingPhase 3
A study of elecoglipron for type 2 diabetes with kidney problems
This trial tests a new medicine called elecoglipron to see if it helps control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes who also have reduced kidney function. You would continue taking your current SGLT2i medication (like dapagliflozin).
Ogden, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT05173714RecruitingPhase 2
Sit Less and Move More program for people with CKD
This Phase 2 study tests a program to help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) sit less and move more, plus a medication (semaglutide) for those who qualify. It may help improve health and day-to-day activity while monitoring safety closely.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 20 years+ - NCT07142252RecruitingPhase 2
New drug for recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes

What taking part in a kidney diseases 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 kidney diseases clinical trials in Utah?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 13 recruiting kidney diseases studies with a site in Utah, 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 kidney diseases study in Utah?
- 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 Utah to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Utah, 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 kidney diseases 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.
