Recruiting studies
- NCT06210555Recruiting
MRI Study of Kidney Donors, Recipients, and Healthy People

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06560801RecruitingPhase 4
Dapagliflozin for kidney health after transplant
This trial tests whether taking dapagliflozin (a drug often used for diabetes and heart health) can help improve kidney structure and blood flow in people who received a kidney transplant at least 9 months ago. It may benefit those whose kidney function is stable, regardless of whether they have diabetes.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18–75 - NCT07141043Recruiting
Bone health study after kidney transplant
This study looks at bone and mineral disorders in people on dialysis, after a kidney transplant, or with bone thinning. It aims to understand how these conditions affect bone health.
IașiAges 20–70 - NCT07134491Recruiting
B Cells in Kidney Transplant Rejection Study
This study looks at certain immune cells (B cells) in the blood and kidney to better understand antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant patients. It might help doctors find new ways to diagnose or treat this type of rejection.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07532382Recruiting
Personalized Stories to Help Young Kidney Transplant Recipients
This study uses personalized storytelling to help children aged 5–12 who have received a kidney transplant. Researchers believe that hearing stories from other transplant recipients might help children understand their condition better and cope with their new life after transplant.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 5–12 - NCT06440330Recruiting
Predicting diabetes after kidney transplant study
This study looks for factors that may help predict who will develop diabetes after a kidney transplant. It is for people who have not had diabetes before their transplant and are starting on tacrolimus and steroids.
Edegem, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT04794582Recruiting
Preventing a belly hernia after first kidney transplant
This trial looks at ways to prevent an incisional hernia (a bulge at the surgical scar) after your first kidney transplant. If you’re getting a first transplant, joining could help test treatments or strategies that lower this post-surgery complication.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07508787RecruitingPhase 2
Study comparing siplizumab to another drug for kidney transplant acceptance
This trial tests a new drug, siplizumab, to see if it helps the body accept a donated kidney better than a standard treatment. It is for people receiving a kidney transplant from a living or deceased donor.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–70 - NCT06794203Recruiting
Does hyperthyroidism affect kidney transplant success?
This study looks at whether having an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) soon after a kidney transplant might affect how well the new kidney works. If you had a kidney transplant at this center and had thyroid tests within the first month, researchers will review your records.
Bologna, BOAges 18 years+ - NCT06367244Recruiting
Wellness Program for Transplant Wait-List Patients
This trial offers a wellness program to help people waiting for a kidney or liver transplant improve their health and fitness. You'll receive support and guidance through virtual sessions.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT03591302RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell transplant to stop anti-rejection drugs after kidney transplant
This study tries to use a stem cell transplant from your original kidney donor to help your body accept the kidney without needing lifelong anti-rejection drugs. You must have a perfectly matched sibling donor who is still available.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07385651Recruiting
Cool storage for donated kidneys
This trial compares storing donated kidneys at 10 degrees Celsius (a cooler temperature) instead of the usual ice storage. It tests if this might help the kidney stay healthier before transplant.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06759831Recruiting
Clinical outcomes of living and deceased donor kidney transplants
This study looks at how well kidney transplants work from both living and deceased donors. It may help doctors better understand long-term outcomes for people who get a new kidney.
Bologna, BOAges 18 years+ - NCT06701825RecruitingPhase 4
Genetic testing before tacrolimus in kidney transplant
This study tests whether doing a simple genetic test before starting the anti-rejection drug tacrolimus can lead to better dosing and outcomes in kidney transplant patients. It also looks at whether this approach is cost-effective.
Madrid, MadridAges Any age - NCT06342128Recruiting
Molecular study of inflammation in kidney transplants
This study looks at molecular changes in kidney transplants that have microvascular inflammation (a type of injury). It aims to better understand why some transplants get this inflammation, which could lead to better treatments.
ParisAges 18–100 - NCT06706154Recruiting
Exercise capacity in kidney transplant recipients
This study looks at how well your body can handle exercise after a kidney transplant. It aims to understand your current fitness level, which can help guide your recovery and long-term health.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06406179Recruiting
Blood test for donor DNA in kidney transplant care
This trial is testing whether a simple blood test that looks for donor DNA can help doctors take better care of kidney transplant patients. It may help detect early signs of rejection and guide treatment decisions.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06707792Recruiting
6-minute stepper test reliability in kidney transplant patients
This study checks if a 6-minute stepper test is a valid and reliable way to measure exercise ability in people who have had a kidney transplant. It helps doctors understand your fitness without needing complex equipment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for kidney transplant?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 245 recruiting kidney transplant 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 transplant 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 transplant 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.
