Fairhope, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06989359RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ADX-038 for complement-related kidney disease
This trial tests an experimental drug called ADX-038 for people with certain types of kidney disease that are driven by the complement system (a part of the immune system). The study aims to see if ADX-038 can help slow down or improve kidney function.
Doral, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03633708RecruitingPhase 3
Etelcalcetide for children with dialysis-related overactive parathyroid hormone
This trial studies etelcalcetide in children who have chronic kidney disease and too much parathyroid hormone while on hemodialysis. It aims to safely lower the hormone levels and help manage related bone/mineral problems.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–18 years - NCT05822609RecruitingPhase 2
Semaglutide for kidney disease in adults with type 1 diabetes
This Phase 2 study tests semaglutide (a diabetes and weight-related medicine) to see if it can slow or improve diabetic kidney disease in people with type 1 diabetes. You may be able to join if you have type 1 diabetes for at least 5 years and ongoing signs of kidney damage measured in urine tests.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06618638Recruiting
Shared Decision Tool for ADPKD Treatment
This study helps people with ADPKD and moderate kidney damage decide together with their doctor whether to start a treatment called tolvaptan. It tests a shared decision-making tool to see if it helps patients understand their options better.
Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18–80 - NCT06635590Recruiting
Kidney disease, high potassium, and heart changes
This study looks at how high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) in people with chronic kidney disease may affect the heart. Doctors will use echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds) to check for changes.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06800651RecruitingPhase 2
A new drug for fast-growing polycystic kidney disease
This trial tests a drug (JMKX003142) for people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease that is getting worse quickly. It may help slow down kidney damage.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–55 - NCT06821919Recruiting
Diabetes and immune drugs in kidney disease study
This study looks at how diabetes treatments and immune-suppressing drugs affect a process called NETosis, which involves immune cells forming traps. It may help find better ways to treat kidney disease in people with diabetes or immune-related kidney problems.

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.
