Bergamo, BergamoAges 18–90 - NCT06516653Recruiting
Study of VasQ implant for new dialysis fistula support
This study tests a small mesh support called VasQ that is placed around your new fistula to help it heal and stay open longer. It is for people who are getting a new fistula for dialysis access.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06494631Enrolling by invitation
New Graft for Dialysis Access in Kidney Failure
This study tests a new type of graft (aXess) for dialysis access in people with kidney failure who cannot get a fistula. The graft is placed in the arm to help with blood flow during dialysis.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06422871Recruiting
Observing HeRO Graft and Super HeRO in dialysis patients
This study is tracking how well the HeRO Graft and Super HeRO work for people on dialysis. If you already have one of these devices, joining helps doctors see how it performs over time.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06408077Recruiting
How sodium levels are managed in kidney failure
This study looks at how the body handles salt (sodium) in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. If you join, researchers will test how your body responds to changes in fluids and salt levels.
CologneAges 18 years+ - NCT06341452Recruiting
Comparing custom salt levels vs. standard care in dialysis
This trial tests if adjusting the salt (sodium) in your dialysis fluid can improve your health. It is for people on dialysis who have trouble with too much fluid gain or high blood pressure between sessions.
Mariánské LázněAges 18 years+ - NCT06329310Recruiting
Study of a new dialysis graft for kidney failure patients
This trial tests a new type of dialysis access graft (called aXess-E) for people with kidney failure who need a graft in their arm. It aims to see if the graft works well for long-term dialysis.
LisbonAges 18 years+ - NCT06327750Recruiting
Dialysis type, blood flow, and salt storage in the body
This study looks at how different types of dialysis affect salt stored in your tissues and your small blood vessels. It may help doctors understand how to improve dialysis treatments.
Amstelveen, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06326905Recruiting
Transplant help for kidney waitlist patients with barriers
This study helps people on the deceased donor kidney waitlist who have had setbacks like health issues, lack of support, or low income. It offers extra support to help you get ready for transplant.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06257134Recruiting
Monitoring symptoms to improve quality of life in dialysis patients
This trial tests if regularly tracking symptoms through an electronic system can improve quality of life for people on dialysis. It aims to help patients and their care teams better manage symptoms.
GradignanAges 18 years+ - NCT05159466Recruiting
Transplant from HIV-positive donors to HIV-positive recipients
This trial studies whether it’s safe and effective for HIV-positive people to receive organ transplants from HIV-positive donors. It focuses on matching HIV treatment before and after transplant and checking for major complications.
Metairie, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06182839RecruitingPhase 2
Canagliflozin for advanced kidney disease with MRI study
This trial tests if canagliflozin, a diabetes medication, can help people with very advanced kidney disease or who recently started dialysis. It uses MRI scans to see how the drug affects the heart and kidneys.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06032208Recruiting
Study on expanded dialysis for symptom relief
This study tests whether a different type of dialysis, called expanded dialysis, can improve symptoms like fatigue or discomfort. It is for people who have been on regular hemodialysis for at least 3 months.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT05880537Recruiting
Dialysis access graft registry using a processed donor artery
This study follows people with kidney failure who need dialysis access, when they receive an AV (artery-to-vein) access graft made from a processed donor artery. It’s meant to track safety and how well the new graft performs in real-world care.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05786443RecruitingPhase 2
Empagliflozin test in adults on regular dialysis
This study tests whether the medicine empagliflozin is safe and helpful for adults who are on regular hemodialysis and still make a small amount of urine. The goal is to see if it can improve health outcomes while tracking side effects closely.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05410275RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose rivaroxaban for dialysis patients without blood thinners
This study tests whether a lower dose of the blood thinner rivaroxaban is safe for people with kidney failure on dialysis who do not already need blood thinners. The goal is to find a way to prevent blood clots and strokes with less risk of bleeding.

Study of an oxalate-lowering medicine for PH1 and kidney failure
This Phase 2 study tests a medicine called DCR-PHXC to lower body oxalate levels in people with PH1 who have advanced kidney failure. By lowering oxalate, the treatment may reduce harm from oxalate buildup and help researchers understand safety and effectiveness.

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.
