Monocytes in type 1 diabetes and kidney disease study
This study looks at immune cells (monocytes) in people with type 1 diabetes, with or without early kidney problems. Researchers want to understand how these cells differ between groups. You may be able to join if you have type 1 diabetes and use an insulin pump or injections along with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM).
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT06683339Recruiting
Functional capacity in children with chronic kidney disease
This study looks at how well children with chronic kidney disease can do daily activities, like walking, climbing, and playing. It helps doctors understand how kidney disease affects a child's strength and energy.
AnkaraAges 6–18 - NCT06527768Recruiting
Helping with metabolic syndrome and kidney disease through lifestyle changes
This study tests a program that uses WeChat to help people with metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease make healthy lifestyle changes. They want to see if this support can improve health and slow down kidney problems.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06600412RecruitingPhase 2
Testing R3R01 for protein in urine from diabetic kidney disease
This trial tests if a new drug, R3R01, can help reduce protein leaking into the urine in people with diabetic kidney disease. It may offer a new option for managing kidney health.
Copenhagen, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06501222Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for kidney protection in CKD
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06463483Recruiting
Automated Insulin Delivery for People with Advanced Kidney Disease

LondonAges 18–70 - NCT06452862Recruiting
MRI for diabetic kidney disease
This study uses special MRI scans to look at the kidneys in people with diabetic kidney disease. The goal is to see if MRI can help doctors better understand and manage the condition.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT06324045Recruiting
Deprescribing medicines for kidney disease patients
This study looks at whether carefully reducing or stopping some medicines (deprescribing) can help people with advanced kidney disease. The goal is to improve quality of life and avoid side effects from unnecessary medications.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for kidney diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 664 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.
