Bempedoic acid for polycystic kidney disease
This trial tests if the cholesterol-lowering drug bempedoic acid can slow kidney function loss in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It may offer a new option to protect your kidneys.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–60 - NCT07194733Recruiting
Food as medicine for veterans with kidney disease
This trial tests whether providing healthy food can improve the health of veterans with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (stages 3b and 4) who are not getting enough nutritious food. If you are a VA patient in the Food Bank of the Rockies area, this study may help you manage your kidney disease.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07201025Recruiting
MRI study of kidney disease in ARPKD
This study uses MRI scans to track kidney disease progression in children and adults with ARPKD. It aims to better understand how the disease changes over time, which could help improve future care.
Cleveland, OhioAges 6 years+ - NCT06902558RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ABBV-CLS-628 for adults with polycystic kidney disease
This trial tests a new drug, ABBV-CLS-628, for people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The goal is to see if it slows kidney function decline and is safe to use.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–55 - NCT06901960Recruiting
Monitoring high potassium with a smart ECG device in kidney disease
This trial tests if a portable ECG device can help detect high potassium levels early in people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease. It aims to make monitoring easier without frequent blood tests.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–99 - NCT06656988RecruitingPhase 3
Saving kidney function during leg artery treatment with carbon dioxide
This trial tests if using carbon dioxide gas instead of standard dye during a leg artery procedure can protect the kidneys. It is for people with blocked leg arteries who also have reduced kidney function.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT05928936RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise study in chronic kidney disease with blood-pressure medicines
This study tests how the body’s blood-pressure control responds to exercise in people with chronic kidney disease (and some transplant recipients), compared with people without kidney disease. It may help researchers learn safer ways to exercise and manage blood pressure for people with kidney disease.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 40–75 - NCT04344769Recruiting
Studying how a kidney-protecting pathway works in ADPKD
This study looks at how the body’s “Nrf2 response” works in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It may help researchers better understand disease biology and future treatments by comparing kidney-related signals in ADPKD patients and healthy volunteers.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–30 - NCT06809075Recruiting
Stem cell therapy to help highly sensitized patients get a kidney transplant
This trial tests if a special stem cell treatment (using your own stem cells) can reset your immune system so you can accept a kidney from a deceased donor, even if you have very high antibody levels that make it hard to find a match. It's for people who have been waiting a long time and haven't had a transplant offer.
BarcelonaAges 18–65 - NCT07511283Recruiting
Calciphylaxis study in kidney disease patients
This study looks at a rare condition called calciphylaxis (hardening of small blood vessels) that can happen in people with chronic kidney disease. It aims to learn more about what causes it and how to help those affected.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT07593352Recruiting
Kidney Health in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients
This study compares kidney function between people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and those without it. Researchers want to understand if IBD affects the kidneys and why, which could help protect kidney health in IBD patients.
Warsaw, WarszawaAges 18–80 - NCT06223750Enrolling by invitation
Virtual kidney check for First Nations in Manitoba
This study offers a virtual kidney health check for First Nations adults in Manitoba who haven't been recently screened. The goal is to catch early signs of kidney disease to help prevent future problems.
WinnipegAges 18 years+ - NCT07820800Recruiting
Personalized digital health guidance for middle-aged adults
This study tests whether a digital health app can help middle-aged adults based on their personal metabolic risk. It aims to prevent diseases by providing tailored guidance.
SavonlinnaAges 45–55 - NCT06536439Recruiting
Digital tool to plan kidney clamping during robotic surgery
This trial tests a new digital tool that helps surgeons plan the best way to clamp the blood supply to your kidney during robotic surgery. The tool aims to reduce damage to healthy kidney tissue while still blocking the tumor's blood flow.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06989320Recruiting
Oxalate production in calcium oxalate stone formers
This study looks at how the body makes oxalate (a natural substance that can form kidney stones) in people who have had calcium oxalate stones. You will eat a special diet and stop supplements for a short time to help researchers understand stone formation.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT06330246Recruiting
Testing a gut bacteria treatment for calcium oxalate kidney stones
This study tests whether giving a specific gut bacteria can help people with calcium oxalate kidney stones. It looks at whether the bacteria can change how the body processes oxalate, which may reduce stone formation.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT07006831Recruiting
Blood study for kidney transplant patients
This study collects blood and leftover donor samples from kidney transplant recipients who need a biopsy. The goal is to improve monitoring after transplant.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01401998Recruiting
Study collecting information from people with ARPKD
This study looks at medical records, imaging, and genetic testing for people with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). It may help researchers better understand the condition and how it affects the liver and kidneys.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 18 years - NCT05398783Recruiting
Study of how metabolism and body composition change over time
This natural history study follows people to understand how metabolism and body composition vary in health and disease. It may help researchers better measure metabolic changes and understand who is at risk as health and treatments change.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - NCT05474417Recruiting
Study of how CF carrier status may affect organs
This study looks at whether people who carry one cystic fibrosis (CF) gene change have differences in the kidneys and pancreas. You may be able to help researchers learn early effects and better health monitoring for CF carriers.

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.
