Kidney stone inflammation study
This study looks at how the body reacts to calcium-based kidney stones. It compares people who have had a calcium-based kidney stone with healthy volunteers to understand inflammation better.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT07055282RecruitingEarly Phase 1
SGLT2 inhibitor for kidney stone prevention
This trial tests if a diabetes medication (SGLT2i) can help prevent calcium kidney stones. Researchers want to see if it changes the way your urine absorbs and processes minerals.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT06944223Recruiting
Citrate and oxalate study for people with or without kidney stones
This study looks at how your body handles citrate and oxalate, two substances related to kidney stones. You can join whether you've had kidney stones or not, as long as your citrate and oxalate levels are not too high or too low.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT05334979Recruiting
Study oxalate and citrate in people with and without kidney stones
This study compares urine levels of oxalate and citrate in adults who have had calcium kidney stones and adults who have never had stones. It may help researchers understand how these urine chemicals relate to stone risk.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT02780297Recruiting
Study of rare stone-causing kidney conditions
This study is for people with certain rare kidney conditions that can cause kidney stones. It aims to learn how these conditions behave over time and may help improve future care.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT04590690Recruiting
Gut microbes and sex risks for kidney stones after weight surgery
This study looks at how gut bacteria (microbes), along with sex, may affect the chance of getting kidney stones after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk so prevention can be improved.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–130 - NCT05356000Recruiting
Testing how oxalate is absorbed to help prevent kidney stones
This study looks at how your body absorbs oxalate, a natural chemical that can contribute to calcium kidney stones. If you’ve had calcium stones—especially with high urine oxalate—it may help researchers find ways to reduce future stone risk.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT06942949Recruiting
Testing a new sound wave device for kidney stones
This study tests a new device that uses sound waves to break up kidney stones in the ureter. It may help people with a single stone of moderate size, as an alternative to surgery or standard shock wave treatment.

What taking part in a kidney stone 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.
