Using biomarkers to personalize kidney disease treatment
This study tests if matching treatments to your specific kidney disease markers can better protect your kidneys. It looks at how well Finerenone, Dapagliflozin, and Semaglutide work alone or in a sequence.
HerlevAges 18–75 - NCT02411773RecruitingPhase 1
Test a nerve-blocking medicine in kidney disease
This Phase 1 study tests whether a medicine that reduces nerve signals (“sympatholysis”) is safe and how it affects people with chronic kidney disease. It may help researchers understand new ways to protect the kidneys, but the main goal here is safety.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT07493642Recruiting
Video health program for chronic kidney disease patients
This trial tests whether watching educational videos about exercise and staying active can improve physical fitness for people with early to moderate chronic kidney disease. You can take part from home using a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
New Taipei City, Taishan DistrictAges 20 years+ - NCT06056102RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy to help highly sensitized kidney transplant patients
This trial tests whether a special immune cell treatment (CAR-T cells) can lower the antibodies that make it very hard for you to receive a kidney transplant. If it works, you might become eligible for a transplant sooner.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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 - 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 - NCT06841692Recruiting
Diuretic testing for moderate kidney disease
This study checks how well diuretics (water pills) work in people with moderate chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors understand how to better treat fluid buildup in patients.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07053462RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene-edited kidney transplant to lower rejection risk
This trial tests a specially edited donor kidney designed to reduce the chance of rejection, especially for people with high sensitivity to donor kidneys. If it works, it could make more kidneys available for those who have a hard time finding a match.
Beijing, ChangpingAges 16–85 - 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+ - NCT02808572Recruiting
Blood and urine tests to study heart risk in kidney disease
This study looks for new markers in blood or urine that may help explain heart (cardiovascular) risk in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors better predict risk, especially in those not yet on dialysis.
MontpellierAges 18–95 - NCT07657286Recruiting
Exercise and inflammation in diabetic kidney disease
