Recruiting studies near Boston
- NCT06972069RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Building tolerance to a new kidney with Sip-Tego

Sotagliflozin for kidney protection in type 1 diabetes
This study tests whether sotagliflozin (a pill that helps control blood sugar and protects the kidneys) can slow down kidney function decline in people with type 1 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. You may qualify if you have had type 1 diabetes for at least 8 years, have moderate kidney damage, and are on standard treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT06051058Recruiting
App for managing health after hospital discharge

Boston, MassachusettsAges 55 years+ - NCT03524222Recruiting
Home hospital care for adults after sudden illness
This trial tests whether certain adults can safely receive hospital-level care at home instead of staying in the hospital, using a home care team. It may help you recover in your own home if your condition fits their plan and you have support at home.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06307652RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new heart failure and kidney treatment combo
This study tests a new combination of two medicines (balcinrenone and dapagliflozin) for people with heart failure and reduced kidney function. The goal is to see if this combination helps improve heart and kidney health better than current treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–130 - NCT04334707Recruiting
Study kidney damage in people with long-term diabetes
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04671771Recruiting
Testing a new graft for hemodialysis access in kidney failure
This study tests whether an “AV graft” implant works safely and well for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. It may help your dialysis access last and work better, compared with current expectations for AV grafts.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT04128189RecruitingPhase 3
Shingrix vaccine for people waiting for a kidney transplant
This Phase 3 study tests whether the shingles vaccine Shingrix is safe and effective for adults with chronic kidney failure who are on the transplant waiting list. It aims to protect you from shingles while you may be dealing with transplant-related immune changes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - NCT06001827Recruiting
Study of a wrap to help new dialysis access points heal

What taking part in a kidney failure study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
