This study tests whether a mindfulness program (guided meditation and breathing exercises delivered on a smartphone) can help people manage chronic kidney disease and improve their quality of life. You'll use a study-provided app to practice mindfulness several times a week for 8 weeks.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–80 - NCT06910475Enrolling by invitation
Exercise and biomarker study to reduce toxins in kidney disease
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help reduce toxins in the blood for people with chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome. Researchers will also look at blood markers to understand how exercise affects the body.
Taguatinga, Federal DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT05870007Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Atorvastatin and alkalizing treatment for autosomal dominant PKD
This Phase 2 study tests whether atorvastatin plus an “alkalizing” treatment (sodium bicarbonate) can slow or improve disease effects in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It specifically targets metabolic acidosis (when the body becomes “too acidic”), which may worsen kidney health.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05514184Enrolling by invitation
Diet coaching for diabetes and kidney disease to delay dialysis
This study tests a plant-focused diet plan to help people with diabetes and moderately to severely reduced kidney function avoid or delay needing dialysis. You would get diet instructions based on your random group and have several follow-up visits and check-ins over 6 months.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04343417Enrolling by invitation
Kidney biopsy study that stores samples for research
This study collects and stores kidney biopsy samples (and related information) to help researchers understand kidney diseases. You may be able to join if you are already scheduled for a kidney biopsy and can consent.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–99 - NCT07355296RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BI 764198 in adults and teens with kidney disease
This study tests an investigational drug (BI 764198) in adults and teens with different types of kidney disease. The goal is to see if the drug can help slow kidney damage. You may be able to join if your kidney function is at a certain level, you are on stable blood pressure medications, and you haven't had recent strong immune treatments.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 12 years+ - NCT07768865Recruiting
Artery stiffness in young people with kidney disease
This study looks at how stiff the arteries are in children and young adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to healthy controls. The results may help doctors better understand heart risks and improve care for young people with kidney problems.
London, Greater LondonAges 10–25 - NCT04802395Recruiting
KidneyIntelX check for people with diabetes and early kidney disease
This study looks at how well a kidney test tool called KidneyIntelX works in real-world care for people with type 2 diabetes and certain stages of kidney disease. It may help doctors use the tool to better understand kidney risk and guide next steps.
New York, New YorkAges 23 years+ - NCT07105670Recruiting
Replacing high-protein foods in chronic kidney disease
This study looks at how replacing high-protein foods affects people with chronic kidney disease. If you join, you will eat a carefully controlled diet to help researchers understand if changing your protein intake can improve your kidney health.

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.
