Fort-de-FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06367205Recruiting
Fluid and blood pressure management in kidney transplant
This trial tests a way to manage fluids and blood pressure during kidney transplant surgery to see if it improves recovery. It may be an option for people getting a kidney from a deceased donor.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 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+ - NCT06411353Recruiting
Blood flow and sounds in new dialysis access
This study looks at blood flow and sounds in new arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) during dialysis. If you need a new AVF in your forearm, this trial may help doctors understand how to make your fistula work better.
Bergamo, BergamoAges 18–90 - 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.

Testing Amino Acid Dialysis Solution for Malnutrition on Peritoneal Dialysis
This trial tests a special peritoneal dialysis solution with amino acids (protein building blocks) to improve nutrition in people on CAPD who are malnourished. It might help boost your protein levels and overall health.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06664125RecruitingPhase 2
New drug for high phosphorus in dialysis patients
This trial tests a new drug, JMKX003002, to lower high phosphorus levels in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. If you have trouble controlling your phosphorus, this treatment might help.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06696274Recruiting
Kinesiophobia, pain, balance, and quality of life in dialysis patients
This study looks at how fear of movement, pain, balance, and mental health affect the quality of life in people who are on hemodialysis. The goal is to understand these factors better so that care can be improved.
KırşehirAges 18 years+ - NCT07591714Recruiting
Eye Exercises During Dialysis Treatment

IsfahanAges 18–80 - NCT06841887Recruiting
New ultrasound imaging method for healthy blood vessels
This study tests a new, advanced ultrasound method for imaging blood vessels. It is looking for healthy volunteers with no history of kidney or brain disease to help researchers see if the ultrasound can give clearer pictures of the vascular system.
Ranica, BGAges 18–75 - NCT06861816Recruiting
Walking with dogs for teens on dialysis
This study looks at whether a program of walking with dogs can help teenagers on dialysis breathe easier and feel less tired. It focuses on how the program might improve your lungs and your ability to be active.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for renal disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 261 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.
