Recruiting studies
- 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

Comparing two anesthetics for kidney donors
This study compares two types of anesthesia (propofol and sevoflurane) to see how they affect certain molecules in the blood of people donating a kidney. It aims to find out if one is safer or better for donors.
Gaziantep, SahinbeyAges 18–65 - 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.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT07726134Recruiting
Diuretic use during kidney transplant to help the new kidney work faster
This trial tests whether giving a diuretic (a medication that helps flush fluids) during kidney transplant surgery helps a deceased-donor kidney start working sooner after the procedure.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT05497518Recruiting
KidneyCARE study for adults with chronic kidney disease
This study is for adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD), including people on dialysis or with a kidney transplant. It aims to better support kidney care by allowing more community access to research.
Danville, PennsylvaniaAges 18–120 - NCT06801886Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Silymarin for better kidney transplant success
This trial tests if adding silymarin (a milk thistle extract) to standard anti-rejection medicines helps protect the new kidney from damage. It may improve how well the transplanted kidney works over time.
MartinAges Any age - 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+ - NCT06055608RecruitingPhase 2
Improving kidney transplant outcomes in teens and young adults
This trial tests a new approach to help teenagers and young adults keep their first kidney transplant working well. It looks at how to improve long-term success by carefully managing the immune system around the time of transplant.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 13–20 - NCT03627013RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two transplant fluid solutions for kidney, liver, pancreas
This Phase 3 study compares two types of transplant fluid (Custodiol-N vs Custodiol) to protect organs while they are stored before surgery. It may help by reducing damage to the kidney, liver, or pancreas during transplant preparation.

Heart health study for kids with chronic conditions
This study looks at heart disease risk in children and young adults (ages 6-25) with long-term health conditions like certain heart, kidney, or diabetes disorders. The goal is to better understand and manage heart risks early.
BudapestAges 6–25 - NCT06095492Recruiting

- How do I know if I qualify for a kidney transplantation 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 transplantation 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.
