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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06438445Recruiting
Royal Jelly Supplement for Kidney Disease on Dialysis
This study tests whether a daily supplement called royal jelly can help people with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis. Researchers will check if it improves health markers.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–70 - NCT02770066Recruiting
Registry study of PTRA in difficult-to-control blood pressure
This study keeps track of people with renovascular hypertension (high blood pressure likely linked to blocked kidney arteries) who may receive a procedure called PTRA. It aims to understand who benefits and how kidney and heart outcomes change over time.
AalborgAges Any age - NCT06981585Recruiting
Physical effects in children with chronic kidney failure
This study looks at physical changes in children with chronic kidney failure compared to healthy children. If you join, you will have some physical measurements taken to help doctors understand how kidney disease affects the body.
IzmirAges 8–18 - NCT06089473Recruiting
Home Exercise Program for Frail Kidney Transplant Candidates
This study tests whether a 12-week home exercise program (supervised by video calls) can help people who are frail feel stronger and healthier before a kidney transplant. You'll do exercises at home and connect with a trainer online.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06013865RecruitingPhase 4
Empagliflozin for kidney transplant recipients
This trial tests if empagliflozin, a diabetes medicine that also protects the kidneys, can help people who have received a kidney transplant. It may be an option if you have reduced kidney function or diabetes after transplant.
Hines, IllinoisAges 19 years+ - NCT04671771Recruiting
Testing a new graft for hemodialysis access in kidney failure
This study tests whether an “AV graft” implant works safely and well for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. It may help your dialysis access last and work better, compared with current expectations for AV grafts.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–90 - NCT07180368Recruiting
Managing multiple medications in older adults

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.
