Recruiting studies
- NCT00977977RecruitingPhase 2
Rituximab plus cyclosporine for membranous kidney disease
This trial tests whether rituximab (an immune-targeting medicine) plus cyclosporine (another immune medicine) can better control protein leakage in the urine for people with idiopathic membranous nephropathy. It may help reduce long-lasting kidney damage risk when standard treatments like ACE inhibitor or ARB don’t control the protein level.

- 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.
