Kidney Transplant clinical trials in Wisconsin
We’re tracking 10 recruiting kidney transplant studies with a site in Wisconsin — including Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 2/Phase 3, Phase 3 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Wisconsin
- NCT05917522RecruitingPhase 2
Biomarker-guided changes to anti-rejection medicines after kidney transplant
This Phase 2 study looks at whether blood test “biomarkers” can guide safely changing anti-rejection medicines after an ABO-compatible kidney transplant. It may help some people reduce certain medicines while keeping the new kidney protected from rejection.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–70 - NCT06407232RecruitingPhase 3
Letermovir for CMV after kidney or pancreas transplant
This trial tests whether a drug called letermovir can safely treat CMV infection in people who have had a kidney or pancreas transplant. It is for those who are at high risk for CMV and whose own immune system cannot fight the virus.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT03769298RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study for tremors after pancreas-kidney transplant
This trial tests a treatment approach for people who develop tremors after a combined pancreas and kidney transplant. It aims to improve tremor symptoms while keeping transplant organs functioning steadily.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–70 - NCT06832410RecruitingPhase 3
Testing VX-880 for type 1 diabetes with a kidney transplant
This trial tests a new treatment called VX-880 for people who have had type 1 diabetes for at least 5 years and have already received a kidney transplant. The goal is to see if VX-880 can improve blood sugar control while you continue your current transplant medications.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–65 - NCT06830798RecruitingPhase 3
Ravulizumab to prevent delayed graft function after kidney transplant
This study tests an investigational medicine (ravulizumab) given through a vein to see if it can prevent delayed graft function—meaning the new kidney takes longer to start working—after a high-risk kidney transplant. It is for adults on dialysis who are getting a kidney from a donor whose heart stopped or who is considered high-risk.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06625073RecruitingPhase 4
SGLT2i for heart transplant recipients
This trial is testing a medication called SGLT2i (a type of diabetes drug that also helps the heart and kidneys) in people who have received a heart transplant. It aims to see if this drug can improve health after transplant.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07444489Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term safety of felzartamab for kidney transplant rejection
This study checks the long-term safety of felzartamab for people who have had a kidney transplant and are dealing with antibody-mediated rejection or signs of inflammation in the kidney. It's for those who were already in a previous study and took at least one dose of felzartamab.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–75 - NCT06918990RecruitingPhase 1
CarBel for antibody-mediated rejection after kidney transplant
This study tests a new drug called CarBel to treat antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant patients. The goal is to see if it can help stop the rejection and protect your new kidney.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–75 - NCT07219043RecruitingPhase 2
Felzartamab for kidney transplant patients with inflammation
This trial tests a drug called felzartamab to see if it can help people who have a type of kidney inflammation after a transplant, even without donor-specific antibodies. It might offer a new treatment option for those who are not getting better on their own.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–74 - NCT05653232Recruiting
Preventing hepatitis C in kidney transplant recipients using antiviral pills
This study tests antiviral medicine given around the time of a kidney transplant to prevent hepatitis C infection when the donor has hepatitis C. It may help uninfected recipients stay hepatitis C–free after receiving the kidney.

What taking part in a kidney transplant 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.

Common questions
- Are there kidney transplant clinical trials in Wisconsin?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 10 recruiting kidney transplant studies with a site in Wisconsin, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a kidney transplant study in Wisconsin?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Wisconsin to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Wisconsin, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a kidney transplant trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New kidney transplant studies open in Wisconsin regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
