Rotational atherectomy elective vs emergency for heavily calcified blockages
This trial compares doing a special procedure (rotational atherectomy) before an emergency is needed versus using it as a rescue during a heart artery procedure. It is designed for people with very hard, calcified artery blockages and long-term kidney impairment, to see which approach works better and is safer.
MadridAges 18–100 - NCT07511283Recruiting
Calciphylaxis study in kidney disease patients
This study looks at a rare condition called calciphylaxis (hardening of small blood vessels) that can happen in people with chronic kidney disease. It aims to learn more about what causes it and how to help those affected.

Reus, TarragonaAges 45–75 - NCT07361146Recruiting
Physical therapy during or before dialysis: a comparison
This study compares doing physical therapy during your dialysis session versus right before it. It looks at which timing might work better for people on hemodialysis.
HawalliAges 21–65 - NCT03803423Recruiting

This study tests a way to spread information on how to register as a live organ donor using social media. You may be contacted to help identify potential live kidney or liver donors, if you fit the study’s basic requirements.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05726526Recruiting
Phone app monitoring to help people with advanced kidney disease
This study tests a phone app (with check-ins on things like blood pressure and weight) to help prevent complications in people with advanced chronic kidney disease. You may be a good match if you’re high risk and can actively measure and share your health data with a kidney care team.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT07157397Recruiting
Plant-based diet for nutrition on dialysis
This study tests if eating more plant-based foods can improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who are underweight or malnourished. Participants will follow a special diet plan and have regular health check-ups for 6 months.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT06712654RecruitingPhase 2
Testing AP306 for high phosphate in dialysis patients
This trial tests a new medication called AP306 for people on hemodialysis who have high blood phosphate. It aims to see if the drug is safe, tolerable, and helps lower phosphate levels.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06728228Recruiting
Amnioinfusion for fetal kidney failure
This trial is testing whether adding fluid back into the womb (amnioinfusion) can help babies whose kidneys are not working and who have no amniotic fluid early in pregnancy. It may improve the baby's chances of survival and lung development.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT07626710Recruiting
How Heart Valve Replacement Affects Kidney Function
This study looks at whether a minimally invasive heart valve procedure (TAVI) affects how well your kidneys work. Researchers will track your kidney function before and after the procedure using blood tests to understand any changes.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06402851RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinner or none for atrial fibrillation with dialysis
This trial compares two types of blood thinners (vitamin K antagonists and factor Xa inhibitors) versus no blood thinner in people with atrial fibrillation who are on dialysis or have very advanced kidney disease. It aims to see which option is safest and most effective for preventing strokes and bleeds.
Salvador, Estado de BahiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07370441Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Amino acid dialysis fluid for better nutrition
This trial tests a special dialysis fluid with amino acids (building blocks of protein) to see if it helps improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who have low protein levels. If you qualify, it may help boost your nutrition.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07153939Recruiting
Study of a new device to create dialysis access
This trial tests a new device called the Velocity pAVF System that creates a connection between a vein and artery in your arm for hemodialysis. If you need dialysis now or within the next 6 months, this could be a new option for you.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT06933472RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new phosphate binder for dialysis patients
This trial tests a new drug called AP301 to lower high phosphate levels in people on dialysis. It's designed to help control phosphate, which can be hard to manage with diet and current medications.
Granada Hills, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04634916Recruiting
Check how a dialysis fistula device performs in real life
This study monitors how well the BD WavelinQ endoAVF device works after routine clinical use. It may help people who need a dialysis access fistula by sharing real-world safety and performance data.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06838416Recruiting
Study on finerenone for kidney health in type 2 diabetes
This trial tests if a medicine called finerenone can protect kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes and early-to-moderate chronic kidney disease. It may be an option if you are already on blood pressure medication and have some protein in your urine.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06674031Recruiting
Survey on heart risk knowledge in kidney disease
This study aims to understand how much people with chronic kidney disease know about heart disease risk factors. It involves a simple questionnaire (no drugs or procedures) to help improve patient education.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06297291Recruiting
Blood pressure study after kidney nerve treatment
This study looks at how well a procedure that uses sound waves to calm kidney nerves (renal denervation) lowers blood pressure over time. It may help people whose blood pressure stays high despite taking medication.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06325488Recruiting
Kidney Health Study in Fabry Disease
This study uses MRI scans to look at how Fabry disease affects the kidneys, including scarring, swelling, and oxygen levels. It may help researchers understand kidney problems better and find new ways to monitor the disease.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT03959163Recruiting
Quick kidney MRI test in children with kidney infection
This study checks whether a fast kidney MRI (“Quick MRI”) can help doctors in children who are being evaluated for kidney infection (pyelonephritis). It may help confirm kidney involvement without relying only on slower or more complex tests.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for renal disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 254 recruiting renal disease 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 renal disease 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 renal disease 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.
