Recruiting studies
- NCT06632613RecruitingPhase 2
Trial of ENN0403 to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This study tests a new drug (ENN0403) given during heart surgery to see if it prevents acute kidney injury—a sudden drop in kidney function. The trial is for people who are already at higher risk due to their specific heart surgery and other health factors.
ShanghaiAges 18–85 - NCT07073508Recruiting
Ultrasound of kidney arteries in ICU patients with kidney injury
This study uses an ultrasound test to check the blood flow to your kidneys soon after you enter the ICU. It aims to see if this test can help doctors better understand and treat acute kidney injury in critically ill patients.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT05325099RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Azacitidine to help prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This early-phase study tests whether azacitidine (a medication that changes how cells read genes) can lower the risk of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery, especially in people already at risk along the chronic kidney disease (CKD) pathway. It aims to protect kidney function during the vulnerable period after surgery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07549243Recruiting
Ear Nerve Stimulation to Protect Kidneys During Heart Surgery
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to your ear can help protect your kidneys during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. Kidney damage after this type of surgery is common, and researchers want to see if this non-invasive stimulation can prevent it.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07351149Recruiting
Study on kidney injury after major surgery in children
This trial looks at how often children develop kidney problems after major surgery that isn't on the heart or kidneys. The goal is to learn more about these injuries and how to prevent them.
Perth, Western AustraliaAges birth–16 years - NCT06710353Recruiting
Albumin before heart surgery for kids with low albumin
This study tests whether giving albumin (a protein in the blood) before heart surgery helps protect the kidneys of young children with low albumin levels. It may help reduce the risk of kidney injury after surgery.
Seoul, SeoulAges Up to 7 years - NCT05147831Recruiting
Remote arm treatment to prevent kidney injury from contrast dye
This trial tests whether a simple “arm conditioning” technique done remotely before a procedure can help prevent kidney injury caused by contrast dye used during certain heart catheter tests. You might benefit if you’re having a coronary angiogram and your kidney function is reduced, but you’re not on dialysis.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06706258RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing kidney injury after heart surgery with a stomach acid drug
This trial tests whether giving a common stomach acid medication (a proton pump inhibitor) before, during, and after heart surgery can help prevent acute kidney injury. If you are at moderate to high risk for kidney problems after surgery, this study may be a good fit.
Houston, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT05879432RecruitingPhase 2
Peptide treatment to prevent or lessen kidney injury after heart surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests an LSALT peptide given around the time of “on-pump” heart surgery to help prevent or reduce acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). It may help people who are at higher risk for kidney injury during or after surgery.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07207031Enrolling by invitation
Kidney injury in ICU patients: a study
This study tracks how often kidney problems occur in ICU patients. By watching your kidney function during your stay, researchers hope to better understand and prevent kidney injury in critically ill people.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT05318196Recruiting
Predict kidney disease risk and progression from patient data
This trial looks at ways to predict how kidney disease may develop, change, or cause complications using information from patients. It may help doctors identify people at higher risk and tailor care earlier.
ToulouseAges 18–99 - NCT07037485Recruiting
Predicting kidney injury after open heart surgery
This trial tests if kidney ultrasound and urine oxygen levels can predict acute kidney injury after open heart surgery. It aims to help doctors catch kidney problems early.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 21 years+ - NCT03629418Recruiting
Blood-pressure strategy to prevent kidney injury after heart bypass
This trial tests a targeted way to manage blood pressure before and after off-pump heart bypass surgery, with the goal of reducing acute kidney injury (sudden kidney problems). It may help some people by lowering stress on the kidneys during and right after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT07258875Recruiting
Using ultrasound to guide fluids during lung surgery
This study tests if using a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) to guide fluid management during lung surgery can help reduce complications like lung problems or kidney injury. It may help doctors give you just the right amount of fluids.
Heraklion, CreteAges 18 years+ - NCT06954129RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two antibiotic combos for infection and kidney safety
This trial compares two common antibiotic combinations to see which one is less likely to cause kidney injury in hospitalized patients. You may be eligible if you need treatment with vancomycin plus either piperacillin-tazobactam or cefepime.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06772025Recruiting
Understanding kidney injury after heart surgery with heart-lung machine
This study looks at why some people develop kidney damage after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It aims to help doctors better predict and prevent this complication.
Bad Oeynhausen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06786416Recruiting
Monitoring to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This trial is testing a new monitoring system that tracks blood flow and other vital signs during heart surgery to help prevent kidney damage afterward.
San Donato Milanese, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT05331118Recruiting
Study of complications and long-term outcomes after major surgery
This study follows people after planned, higher-risk surgery to learn what complications happen and how patients do long-term. It may help doctors predict risks and improve care for people having similar operations.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07182422RecruitingPhase 4
AST-120 for kidney protection after acute kidney injury
This trial tests if the drug AST-120 (Kremezin) can help protect your kidneys and slow down further kidney decline after a recent acute kidney injury. It is for people who had a moderate to severe kidney injury during a hospital stay and now have mild to moderate chronic kidney damage.
TaoyuanAges 18–80 - NCT05161078Enrolling by invitation
Studies CARPEDIEM care for newborns and babies in participating hospitals
This trial looks at how to improve outcomes for newborns and infants who receive CARPEDIEM as part of routine hospital care. It aims to see whether an interdisciplinary team approach can make treatment safer and more effective.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07735182Recruiting
Gut bacteria and organ damage in sepsis
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and other signs in your body affect liver and kidney damage in people with sepsis. It also compares findings to healthy volunteers to see what is different.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05397392Recruiting
Diagnosis and treatment plan for heart–kidney problems
This study looks at the best way to diagnose and treat different types of heart-and-kidney problems that happen together. It may help you (or your caregiver) get the right classification and treatment approach based on how your heart and kidneys are affected.
NanjingAges 18 years+ - NCT07393594Enrolling by invitation
Tracer study for kidney transplant monitoring
This study looks at a new blood test to help monitor the health of your transplanted kidney and check for early signs of rejection. The test will be done as part of your usual care after a kidney transplant.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for kidney injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 204 recruiting kidney injury 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 injury 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 injury 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.
