This study follows people who are getting a liver transplant (including repeat transplants) to monitor changes in their body using test results. It may help doctors understand how patients are doing after transplant and improve care over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT00071526Recruiting
How the body loses vitamin C in diabetes
This study looks at why people with diabetes may lose more vitamin C in their urine than people without diabetes. By understanding this difference, researchers hope to better understand how diabetes affects the body's nutrition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT00428987Recruiting
Study of body and behavior traits in weight groups
This study looks at how physical traits and everyday behaviors differ among people who are overweight, obese, or in the normal-weight range. It may help researchers better understand risk factors related to weight and health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00001276Recruiting

This study helps doctors diagnose and treat dangerously low blood sugar, especially in people with pancreatic tumors that produce too much insulin. You'll receive comprehensive evaluation and personalized care to manage your condition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00001987Recruiting
Understanding genetics of insulin resistance and diabetes
This research study looks at the genes and immune system factors that cause severe insulin resistance—a condition where the body doesn't respond well to insulin. Researchers want to understand why some people develop this problem and study family members and healthy volunteers to learn more.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–120 years - NCT02019706RecruitingPhase 2
PET/CT scans to find the cause of ectopic Cushing syndrome
This trial tests several special imaging scans to help doctors locate the source of hormone overproduction in ectopic Cushing syndrome. It may help confirm where the problem is so treatment can be better targeted.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT00381121Recruiting
Kidney and pancreas biopsy participants needed for a research bank
This study collects and stores biological samples from people (including children) who are already getting a kidney and/or pancreas biopsy at the University of Michigan. It helps researchers better understand kidney and pancreas diseases, and participation depends on giving informed consent.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges Any age - NCT01886950Recruiting
Bone and blood-vessel changes around kidney transplant
This study looks at how bone structure and blood-vessel calcification change before and after a kidney transplant. It may help doctors better understand what to monitor for long-term health after transplantation.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT00646022Recruiting
Family study of small intestine carcinoid tumors
This is a research study that follows families with small intestine carcinoid tumors (and related hormone-related tumors) to learn how these conditions progress over time. It may help doctors better predict risk and health needs for people in similar families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01016613Recruiting
Kidney health study that helps build a tissue and data bank
This study collects health information and biological samples to better understand kidney disease and support future kidney research. It may help your care indirectly by improving how kidney conditions are recognized and studied.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges Any age - NCT01873235Recruiting
Study for adults with confirmed polycystic kidney disease
This study enrolls adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) to better understand the disease and its related changes in the body. It may help researchers find improved ways to track the condition and support future treatments.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02813642Recruiting
Study of heart risk in people starting dialysis
This study looks at heart (cardiovascular) risk factors in people who are just starting dialysis for chronic kidney failure. It may help doctors better understand what heart-related issues to watch for early during dialysis.
Castelnau-le-LezAges 18–90 - NCT02417740Recruiting
Study of the natural course of noncirrhotic portal hypertension
This study follows people with noncirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) or people at risk for it to better understand how the condition progresses over time. It does not sound like a medication trial—more like careful monitoring to learn what happens in different people.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–100 - NCT02132741Recruiting
Eye imaging study in people with kidney disease
This study uses a painless eye scan to learn more about how kidney disease may be linked to eye changes. It may help improve understanding and future care for people with chronic kidney disease and/or high blood pressure.
Edinburgh, MidlothianAges 18–80 - NCT02497521Recruiting
Registry for adults with ADPKD starting tolvaptan
This registry study collects information about adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) who are starting or already taking tolvaptan. It may help researchers understand how tolvaptan is used in real life and what outcomes look like over time.
Müllheim, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT02823821RecruitingPhase 4
Testing different salt levels in dialysis fluid to prevent blood vessel events
This study tests whether changing the salt (sodium) level in dialysis fluid can reduce problems in blood vessels. It is done in adult dialysis centers to compare outcomes between two sodium levels.
AdelaideAges 18 years+ - NCT03049462RecruitingPhase 1
Study how a beta-3 drug changes body fat in healthy adults
This Phase 1 study tests how chronic treatment with a beta-3–type medicine affects brown fat (a special kind of body fat) in the body. It mainly looks at safety and how the body responds over time, which could help future treatments for weight and metabolic health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–40 - NCT02947750RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise study in people with kidney disease
This Phase 2 study tests how engaging in supervised exercise affects the body’s blood-vessel responses in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who don’t exercise regularly. It may help researchers understand whether exercise could be beneficial for CKD-related health changes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT02936791Recruiting
Study of early inherited kidney cysts and healthy volunteers
This observational study follows people early in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and also some healthy volunteers to learn how the kidneys work over time. It may help researchers understand early changes, which could guide future treatments.

Study of thyroid lumps and thyroid cancer
This study looks at people who have or may have thyroid nodules (lumps in the thyroid gland in your neck) or thyroid cancer, as well as family members who may have inherited a higher risk. It aims to better understand and diagnose these thyroid problems.

- 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.
