Education study for older adults with kidney disease
This study tests a program to help older adults with advanced kidney disease learn about their treatment options before deciding on dialysis. It is designed for those who have not yet made a decision.
Brockport, New YorkAges 75 years+ - NCT06966258Recruiting
Heart health program for Black women in Birmingham
This trial tests a program called Inspire HER, which aims to improve heart and emotional health for Black women with early-stage cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome. You may qualify if you have this condition and live in the Birmingham area.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 30–79 - NCT05679024RecruitingPhase 3
Apixaban to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation and kidney failure
This trial tests apixaban (a blood thinner) to prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter who have very poor kidney function or are on dialysis. If you qualify, you may help researchers find a safer way to lower stroke risk for this higher-risk group.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT07248371Recruiting
Validating multi-omics for metabolic syndrome diseases
This study is testing a new way to look at health information (multi-omics) to better understand conditions related to metabolic syndrome, like diabetes or heart disease. It may help doctors find more personalized treatments.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT07645794Enrolling by invitation
MRI Scans to Detect Bone and Muscle Loss in Kidney Disease
This study tests a new MRI imaging method to detect bone loss (osteoporosis) and muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with chronic kidney disease. The scan may help doctors catch these problems earlier and manage kidney disease better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07487727RecruitingPhase 3
Study of an experimental anemia drug for chronic kidney disease patients not on dialysis
This trial tests an oral medication (AND017) for anemia caused by chronic kidney disease. It aims to improve red blood cell levels without needing dialysis or current anemia treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07312916Recruiting
Hand massage for itching in kidney dialysis patients
This study tests whether hand massage can help reduce the chronic itching that many people on dialysis experience. It compares two groups to see if massage provides relief and improves quality of life.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT07241468RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for immune kidney disease
This trial tests a special cell treatment (CAR-T) for people with immune-related kidney disease that has not responded to standard therapy. The treatment aims to remove faulty immune cells that damage the kidneys.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT06971874Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for kidney diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 665 recruiting kidney diseases 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 diseases 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 diseases 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.
