Recruiting studies
- NCT07349797Recruiting
Transdermal GFR system to check kidney function in heart failure
This trial tests a sensor placed on the skin to measure kidney function in adults with heart failure. It may help understand how well the kidneys are working without repeated blood draws.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07029503RecruitingPhase 2
Heart failure and kidney function study
This trial tests a new treatment for people with heart failure and severely reduced kidney function. It aims to see if the treatment can help protect both the heart and kidneys.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT02378805Recruiting
Alport syndrome registry to help delay kidney failure
This is a registry that collects information from people with Alport syndrome to better understand the disease and how to delay kidney failure. It may help researchers learn which factors and treatments are most important over time.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges Any age - NCT07760363Recruiting
Foot exercise device for leg swelling
This study tests if using a foot pedal device while lying down can help reduce leg swelling in the hospital. It aims to see if this simple exercise can improve comfort and outcomes for people with fluid buildup.
Tulsa, OklahomaAges 18 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+ - NCT03945968Recruiting
Risk scores after abdominal surgery for people with health conditions
This study looks at how other health problems affect the chance of postoperative complications after abdominal surgery. It aims to help doctors better predict risk and decide on the safest care for you.
ArkhangelskAges 18 years+ - NCT06542016Recruiting
Heart risk prediction in dialysis patients using a questionnaire
This study looks at how a simple questionnaire (called KCCQ) about your heart health and quality of life can help predict future heart risks for people on dialysis. Researchers want to see if your answers to this questionnaire can help doctors take better care of you.
Guangdong, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07428395Enrolling by invitation
Monitoring during continuous kidney replacement therapy in the ICU
This study tests a new way to monitor patients while they receive continuous kidney replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) in the ICU. It aims to see if this monitoring can be done safely and smoothly, helping doctors track your treatment better.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05279742Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug to boost a hormone system in HFpEF
This early-phase trial tests a treatment that aims to improve the “natriuretic peptide” hormone system in people with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping strength). It may help reduce symptoms and improve heart and fluid pressure behavior, especially in certain related conditions like kidney disease.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06167512Recruiting
Study on kidney cell changes after severe injury
This study looks at how kidney cells change their energy use after a severe injury. It may help doctors understand and treat kidney damage in trauma patients.
Le Kremlin-BicêtreAges 18 years+ - NCT06001827Recruiting
Study of a wrap to help new dialysis access points heal
This trial tests a special wrap placed around a new arm access point for dialysis (called an AV fistula) to see if it helps the access stay healthy and work better. It is for people who need a new AV fistula for kidney dialysis.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05084768Recruiting
Test blood markers to predict kidney transplant rejection
This study looks at special blood tests to help predict when kidney transplant rejection might happen. If the markers work, they could help doctors catch rejection earlier and adjust treatment sooner.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07531966Recruiting
Blood Vessel Problems After Kidney Transplant Treatment
This study looks at treating narrowing or blockage of blood vessels in transplanted kidneys. If your transplanted kidney is showing signs of not working well and imaging shows a blocked vessel, this trial tests whether a procedure called angioplasty (opening the vessel with a tiny balloon) can help restore blood flow and improve kidney function.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT04823923Recruiting
How kidney failure affects drug levels in metastatic kidney cancer
This study looks at how chronic kidney failure changes the amount of certain cancer medicines in the blood. It involves people with metastatic clear cell kidney cancer who take pazopanib or cabozantinib, and compares drug levels in different kidney function groups.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06884631Recruiting
Heart failure risk assessment with exercise test and kidney health
This study uses a special exercise test, along with heart and kidney measurements, to better predict risks for people with heart failure. It may help your doctors understand your condition and choose the best care for you.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07753681Recruiting
Chronic disease care in Zambia
This study helps improve care for people with long-term illnesses like diabetes or high blood pressure in Zambia. It aims to make sure you get regular check-ups and support.
Lusaka, Lusaka ProvinceAges Any age - NCT05836922Recruiting
Checking kidney oxygen after lung transplant to predict kidney injury
This pilot study looks at whether a painless skin sensor can measure kidney oxygen levels after lung transplant surgery. The goal is to predict and possibly prevent postoperative kidney failure by identifying risk early.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06583395Enrolling by invitation
Meditation retreat study with fitness tracker
This trial studies people attending a 7-day meditation retreat to see how meditation affects well-being. You will wear a fitness tracker and answer surveys.
Palm Desert, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT07083557Recruiting
Validation study for lab tests on hormones and metabolism
This study checks if lab tests used for hormone, heart, metabolism, and muscle disorders are accurate and reliable. You might be eligible if you are an adult with a body mass index between 16 and 60.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18–100 - NCT03987633Recruiting
Study links health records and samples to understand health gaps
This study asks people affected by a specific illness (or their family member) to share saliva (and sometimes blood) and answer health and quality-of-life questions. The goal is to better understand and reduce health inequality by matching new information with medical records.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 6 years+ - NCT06842927Enrolling by invitation
A tool to measure how well peritoneal dialysis works
This study is testing a new computer tool that helps doctors see how well peritoneal dialysis (a type of kidney treatment done at home) removes waste from your body. It may help make your dialysis more effective.
TuenmenAges 18 years+ - NCT06235892RecruitingPhase 3
Lowering Tacrolimus for Low-Risk Kidney Transplant Patients
This trial tests whether safely lowering the dose of tacrolimus—an anti-rejection drug—can still protect a kidney transplant one year after surgery. It's for first-time transplant recipients with low immune risk.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for kidney failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 118 recruiting kidney failure 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 failure 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 failure 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.
