Study links health records and samples to understand health gaps
This study asks people affected by a specific illness (or their family member) to share saliva (and sometimes blood) and answer health and quality-of-life questions. The goal is to better understand and reduce health inequality by matching new information with medical records.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 6 years+ - NCT07607197RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune Reset to Help Highly Sensitized Kidney Transplant Patients
This study tests whether a special immune-resetting treatment can help patients who have developed too many antibodies against donor kidneys get access to a compatible kidney transplant. The treatment uses chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation to 'reset' your immune system so it stops rejecting potential donor kidneys.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18–60 - NCT06953180Recruiting
Epigenetics, aging, and disease prevention study in Kazakhstan
This study looks at how your genes and environment affect your risk for non-communicable diseases like heart disease or diabetes. It aims to predict your biological age and help create personalized prevention plans.
Almaty, KazakhstanAges 18–69 - NCT06660524RecruitingPhase 4
Calcium-phosphorus therapy for heart valve disease
This trial tests a treatment to lower high calcium and phosphorus levels in your blood, which may slow down calcium buildup in heart valves. It may help people with kidney problems who have valve disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT07209527Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Truway diagnostic tools in primary care
This trial tests new diagnostic tools that doctors can use in primary care. Researchers want to see if these tools help find the right diagnosis faster and more accurately.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT05149196Recruiting
Goal-directed fluid and blood pressure plan after kidney surgery
This trial tests a carefully tailored plan for managing blood pressure and fluid during and after kidney removal surgery, to help reduce kidney injury after surgery. It may be especially helpful if you’re having one kidney removed for cancer and your baseline heart/kidney risk is not too high.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07118683Recruiting
Brazilian health study for people with HIV or AIDS
This study is creating a record of chronic health conditions (like heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure) in people living with HIV or AIDS in Brazil. Joining helps researchers better understand and care for the health needs of people like you.
Goiânia, GoiásAges 18 years+ - NCT06798909RecruitingPhase 3
CMV prevention in kidney transplant patients
This trial tests two ways to prevent CMV in kidney transplant patients who are at high risk. It compares giving antiviral medicine preemptively (based on regular blood tests) versus giving it as prophylaxis (starting right after transplant). The goal is to see which approach prevents CMV infection better.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05465044Recruiting
Twice-weekly dialysis for veterans starting kidney treatment
This study compares starting hemodialysis two times per week versus three times per week for veterans in their first year of dialysis. It aims to see if a less frequent schedule can be just as safe and effective for those who still make urine.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06040281Recruiting
Smart and fit for kidney transplant
This trial tests if a smartphone app can help people on dialysis get ready for a kidney transplant. You'll get support with exercise, nutrition, and emotional health.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07741292RecruitingPhase 4
Kidney health study for older adults not on dialysis
This study tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine called Niaoduqing Granules can help improve kidney function in people over 60 with chronic kidney disease. It may offer a new way to manage the condition without dialysis.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 61 years+ - NCT05106387Recruiting
Study follow-up for people who had a kidney transplant

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for kidney diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 686 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.
