AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06551311Recruiting
Cycling exercise for chronic kidney disease
This study tests whether a special type of cycling exercise (eccentric cycling) is safe and helpful for people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) or who are on dialysis. The goal is to improve fitness and overall health.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 55–85 - NCT07292493Enrolling by invitation
Immune system study for diabetic kidney disease
This study looks at how the immune system works in people with diabetic kidney disease. It tests whether certain blood pressure medicines can help protect the kidneys.
LjubljanaAges 40–65 - NCT06846034Recruiting
How low oxygen affects kidney blood flow
This study tests how low oxygen levels affect blood flow in the kidneys. It includes healthy people, people with type 2 diabetes, and those with diabetes plus kidney disease to see if their kidneys respond differently.
PoitiersAges 18–75 - NCT07153432Recruiting
Chronic kidney disease screening for at-risk adults
This study is a simple screening to check for early signs of chronic kidney disease. It aims to find kidney problems in people who are at higher risk due to age or other health conditions.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT07102667Enrolling by invitation
Protein intake for muscle health in older kidney patients
This study tests how much protein older adults with kidney disease and muscle loss should eat to build or maintain muscle. You will follow a protein plan and do simple resistance exercises to see if it helps your strength.
BangkokAges 65 years+ - NCT06960304Recruiting
Exercise program to help kidney patients' fistula work better
This trial tests if structured exercises can help the new blood vessel connection (AVF) in your arm mature properly for dialysis. It may improve your fistula's success and reduce complications.
Coimbra, Coimbra DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT06927024Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for chronic kidney disease
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation on the ear (taVNS) can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by improving kidney function or reducing symptoms. It is a non-invasive, device-based treatment given at NYU Langone Health.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06314503Recruiting
Safety study of a new peritoneal dialysis device for kidney patients
This trial tests a new device called WEAKID for people on peritoneal dialysis. It aims to see if the device is safe to use. Participants must have been on PD for at least 3 months and have no recent infections or catheter problems.
Modena, ModenaAges 18 years+ - NCT06721143RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AION-301 for chronic kidney disease
This trial tests an experimental drug called AION-301 for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The goal is to see if it's safe and may help slow kidney decline. It's given by IV infusion and compared to a placebo (inactive infusion).
Miami, FloridaAges 35–75 - NCT06286748Recruiting
Beetroot drink and exercise for kidney disease
This study tests if drinking beetroot extract along with a structured exercise program can help people with chronic kidney disease. It looks at whether this combination can improve health and delay the need for more advanced treatments.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–65 - NCT06018831Recruiting
Kidney screening for newborns
This study offers free urine and ultrasound screening for kidney disease in all newborn infants, with a goal to find and track potential issues early over the first 3 years of life.
Nantong, JiangsuAges Up to 6 years - NCT05764642Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Ultrasound imaging of kidney blood vessels in kidney disease
This Phase 2 study tests an ultrasound imaging method to look at tiny blood vessels in the kidneys. It may help doctors better understand chronic kidney disease, especially when a kidney biopsy is already planned for medical reasons.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05759468RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for kidney diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 665 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.
