Recruiting studies
- NCT06337838RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing blood loss during surgery in kidney patients

Dietary nitrate for high blood pressure kidney injury
This study tests whether a natural substance found in leafy greens (dietary nitrate) can help protect the kidneys of people with high blood pressure and early kidney damage. It may offer a simple dietary way to slow kidney disease.
HerningAges 18–70 - NCT06528405RecruitingPhase 2
SGLT2 inhibitor study for acute kidney disease patients
This study tests whether SGLT2 inhibitors (a type of diabetes drug that also helps kidneys) can help patients with acute kidney disease. It may be an option if you have diabetes or chronic kidney disease along with acute kidney problems.
TaipeiAges 18–80 - NCT05806645Recruiting

Treprostinil to protect kidneys during transplant injury
This early-phase study tests whether treprostinil (Remodulin®) can reduce injury to a transplanted kidney right after surgery. If it works and is safe, it may help improve outcomes for people receiving a deceased-donor kidney transplant.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18–75 - NCT06153147Recruiting
Kidney & blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at kidney health and blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors. If you finished high-risk cancer therapy about 3 years ago, researchers want to see how your kidneys and blood pressure are doing now.
Toronto, OntarioAges Up to 19 years - NCT06595420Recruiting
Kidney health in people with cystic fibrosis on new treatments
This study looks at how the kidneys work in people with cystic fibrosis, especially those taking highly effective new treatments. It aims to understand kidney function in different groups, including those who are hospitalized frequently or rarely.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 7 years+ - NCT07262060RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing kidney problems in preterm babies with caffeine
This study tests whether giving caffeine to very premature babies can help protect their kidneys as they grow. We will use a special light monitor on the skin to check blood flow to the brain and kidneys.
Madison, WisconsinAges 12 hours–4 days - NCT06026592Recruiting
Detecting kidney DNA in transplant patients' blood
This study looks for small pieces of kidney DNA in the blood of kidney transplant patients. It aims to improve monitoring of transplant health.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06288425Enrolling by invitation
Gene activity study in kidney transplant patients
This study looks at gene activity inside kidney tissue to better understand how transplanted kidneys work. Researchers will collect blood, urine, stool, and tiny pieces of kidney tissue over time to see what happens after a transplant.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 18–75 - NCT07849088RecruitingPhase 2
Chinese herbal medicine to protect kidneys during radiation therapy
This study tests a traditional Chinese herbal medicine (called Zhixiao Tongmai Ning) to see if it can protect your kidneys from damage caused by radiation therapy. If you have kidney cancer and are receiving radiation, this treatment might help keep your healthy kidney tissue working better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - 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.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07596043Recruiting
Higher protein for intensive care patients with kidney failure
This study compares giving a higher amount of protein to a standard amount in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure who need dialysis. The goal is to see if more protein helps recovery.
Bangkok, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT07212595RecruitingPhase 2
Amino acid therapy to protect kidneys after heart surgery in children
This trial is testing whether giving amino acids after heart surgery can help prevent kidney injury in children at high risk. If it works, it could offer a simple way to protect kidney function during recovery.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Up to 18 years - NCT05812755RecruitingPhase 4
Study drug effects on blood vessels and organs in heart surgery
This Phase 4 trial studies vericiguat-like stimulation (a type of medicine that affects blood-vessel signaling) around the time of planned open-heart surgery. It aims to see whether this can change blood-vessel “reactivity” and reduce injury to organs during and after surgery.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06535945RecruitingPhase 4
Albumin to protect kidney function after liver transplant
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a protein in your blood) after a liver transplant can help prevent or reduce kidney damage. It is for adults receiving their first liver-only transplant from a deceased donor.
Chambray-lès-ToursAges 18 years+ - NCT06014801RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing low vs. medium continuous dialysis for kidney injury in the ICU
This study compares two intensities (low vs. medium) of continuous dialysis for people with sudden kidney failure in the ICU. It aims to find which level of treatment works best for critically ill patients.
Sendai, MiyagiAges 18 years+ - NCT07873372Enrolling by invitation
Kidney protection with vitamin C and rutin during vancomycin treatment
This trial tests whether taking vitamin C and rutin (a plant compound) together can help protect the kidneys from damage caused by the antibiotic vancomycin. It compares this combination to vitamin C alone and to no extra supplement.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07394959Recruiting
Guided hydration to protect kidneys in elderly heart patients
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during heart procedures to prevent kidney injury. It uses a special vest that measures lung fluid to guide how much hydration you get.

Safety study of two antibiotics for serious hospital infections
This study watches how safely two common antibiotics (vancomycin and a combination called piperacillin/tazobactam) work together in hospitalized patients with serious infections. Researchers want to make sure the combination doesn't harm kidney function.

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.
