Recruiting studies
- NCT05996731Recruiting
Using RNA tests to help diagnose rare genetic diseases
This study uses RNA sequencing to find genetic causes of rare diseases that standard DNA tests might miss. It may help people who have symptoms of a rare disease but no clear genetic diagnosis yet.
Ranica, BGAges Any age - NCT06194669Recruiting
VHL disease and kidney tumor risk study
This study looks at how early changes in kidney cells can lead to tumors in people with VHL disease. It may help understand why some people develop kidney cancer and how to prevent it.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06990672Enrolling by invitation
WeChat therapy to help kidney stone patients drink more water
This study tests if a WeChat-based digital program can help people who've had kidney stone surgery increase their daily fluid intake to prevent new stones. You might qualify if you drink less than 2.5 liters of fluid per day and use WeChat regularly.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06903559RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Roxadustat for heart and nutrition in dialysis patients
This study tests whether roxadustat can help improve heart health, nutrition, and reduce inflammation in people on hemodialysis. It may offer a new treatment option for anemia related to kidney disease.
Al Mansurah, DakahliyaAges 18 years+ - NCT06918990RecruitingPhase 1
CarBel for antibody-mediated rejection after kidney transplant
This study tests a new drug called CarBel to treat antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant patients. The goal is to see if it can help stop the rejection and protect your new kidney.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT03321656RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Envarsus XR after kidney transplant to reduce hidden rejection
This study looks at whether Envarsus XR helps prevent “subclinical” (not obviously noticeable) kidney transplant rejection by changing blood immune test results. You may be able to join if you recently received a kidney transplant and can take the study medicine as required.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–75 - NCT04615065Recruiting
Biobank study collecting emergency data for very sick patients
This study collects health and sometimes blood sample information from people arriving at the emergency department with high-risk or serious conditions. The goal is to build a large emergency “biobank” to help researchers better understand and improve urgent care.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT03929887Recruiting
Kidney biopsy patients join a kidney tissue research bank
This study builds a kidney tissue “library” to help researchers analyze kidney disease in newer ways. It may help by improving how glomerular (kidney filter) diseases are understood over time, using samples from people who already had a biopsy.
ChuncheonAges Any age - NCT06919003RecruitingPhase 2
Improving kidney transplant with a single injection of a protective protein
This trial tests whether a single injection of C1 esterase inhibitor into a donated kidney during preservation can improve transplant outcomes. It is for adults on dialysis waiting for a deceased-donor kidney who meet specific blood and tissue matching requirements.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05917522RecruitingPhase 2
Biomarker-guided changes to anti-rejection medicines after kidney transplant
This Phase 2 study looks at whether blood test “biomarkers” can guide safely changing anti-rejection medicines after an ABO-compatible kidney transplant. It may help some people reduce certain medicines while keeping the new kidney protected from rejection.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–70 - NCT06341933Recruiting
Kidney risk after lung cancer surgery (VATS)
This study looks at why some people develop kidney problems after lung cancer surgery using small incisions (VATS). By tracking your recovery, the doctors hope to find ways to protect your kidneys during and after surgery.
Ankara, KeçiörenAges 18–65 - NCT06056102RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy to help highly sensitized kidney transplant patients
This trial tests whether a special immune cell treatment (CAR-T cells) can lower the antibodies that make it very hard for you to receive a kidney transplant. If it works, you might become eligible for a transplant sooner.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT06055608RecruitingPhase 2
Improving kidney transplant outcomes in teens and young adults
This trial tests a new approach to help teenagers and young adults keep their first kidney transplant working well. It looks at how to improve long-term success by carefully managing the immune system around the time of transplant.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 13–20 - NCT06683846RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab for advanced rare tumors: a safety & early-efficacy study
This trial tests a drug called ivonescimab in people with advanced, rare tumor types that have spread (stage IV). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and whether it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+

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.
