Recruiting studies
- NCT06005818RecruitingPhase 2

Predicting kidney function from amniotic fluid in babies with kidney issues
This study uses a sample of the fluid around your baby (amniotic fluid) to try to predict how well their kidneys will work after birth. It is for pregnancies where both kidneys have been found to have a structure problem.
ToulouseAges Any age - NCT06065852Recruiting
National registry for rare kidney diseases
This study creates a registry to collect health information from people with rare kidney diseases. It aims to improve understanding and future treatments by tracking patient experiences.
Bristol, South WestAges Any age - NCT03716401Recruiting
Imaging tests to predict kidney disease in type 2 diabetes
This study uses special kidney imaging to look for patterns that can predict how diabetic kidney disease may progress. It may help researchers find better ways to identify people at higher risk using noninvasive (and possibly biopsy-related) tests.
TurkuAges 18–80 - NCT05902923Recruiting
Testing balloon and stent devices for blocked kidney or leg arteries
This trial studies how safe and well several balloon and stent devices work for treating narrowed or blocked arteries in the kidney area or the groin/upper leg. It may help patients who fit the specific artery location and device-use instructions for these treatments.
AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT04111692Recruiting
Watching foam treatment for cysts in autosomal polycystic disease
This study follows adults with inherited kidney and/or liver cysts that are causing symptoms to see how a foam sclerotherapy procedure may help and what outcomes happen over about a year. You may be eligible if you have a few sizable, specific-type cysts and can safely attend follow-up visits.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–100 - NCT06194669Recruiting
VHL disease and kidney tumor risk study
This study looks at how early changes in kidney cells can lead to tumors in people with VHL disease. It may help understand why some people develop kidney cancer and how to prevent it.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06593392RecruitingPhase 2
Safety of difelikefalin for itching in teens on dialysis
This trial tests a drug called difelikefalin to see if it safely reduces moderate-to-severe itching in teenagers who are on hemodialysis. Itching is common in kidney disease, and this study aims to find a new treatment option.
ChengduAges 12–18 - NCT06601296RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus immunotherapy for metastatic kidney cancer
This trial tests whether combining radiation therapy with two types of immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitors and an injectable drug called IMSA101) can help control metastatic kidney cancer that is only growing in a few spots. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and keep them from growing further.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07395037Recruiting
Study of emergency hospital stays for blood in urine
This study is looking at why people are admitted to the hospital as an emergency because of blood in their urine (hematuria). If you are being cared for by the urology team and stay for at least a day, you might be able to join.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT00102544Enrolling by invitation
Tracking Devices to Find Abnormalities During Medical Procedures
This study tests technology that uses imaging scans to help doctors locate and reach abnormalities during surgical or interventional procedures. The goal is to make these image-guided procedures more accurate and safer for patients.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07524101Recruiting
Statin and Ezetimibe for Heart Disease and Kidney Disease
This trial tests whether taking a moderate-strength statin (cholesterol-lowering drug) plus ezetimibe (another cholesterol medicine) together helps protect the heart and kidneys in people who have both chronic kidney disease and established heart disease or stroke history.
SeoulAges 19–85 - NCT06976762Enrolling by invitation
Light-based muscle oxygen measurements in COPD with kidney disease
This study uses a special light-based device (near-infrared spectroscopy) to measure muscle oxygen levels in people who have both COPD and chronic kidney disease. Researchers want to see if these measurements can help predict how the disease progresses, which could lead to better monitoring and treatment.
Tokat ProvinceAges 18–80 - NCT06950931Enrolling by invitation
Urine test for kidney problem after transplant or biopsy
This study tests whether a special urine test can detect kidney problems early in people who have had a kidney transplant or who have chronic or acute kidney disease. It requires a first-morning urine sample and regular check-ups at the study hospital.
Martin, SlovakiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07301892Recruiting
AI help for rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis
This trial tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can improve how doctors spot complications in people newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a condition that causes joint pain and swelling. The goal is to see if AI can make diagnosis faster and more accurate in real-world hospital settings.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06631404Recruiting
Ultrasound test for lupus kidney activity
This trial uses an ultrasound to measure kidney blood flow in people with lupus kidney disease. The goal is to see if this simple test can tell how active the disease is, which might help doctors adjust treatment without needing frequent biopsies.
SohagAges 18–50 - NCT07115953Recruiting
Spiral nerve treatment for uncontrolled high blood pressure
This trial tests a new procedure to treat high blood pressure by using a special catheter to calm overactive nerves in your kidneys. It may help you achieve better blood pressure control if medications are not enough.
MelbourneAges 18 years+ - NCT06981585Recruiting
Physical effects in children with chronic kidney failure
This study looks at physical changes in children with chronic kidney failure compared to healthy children. If you join, you will have some physical measurements taken to help doctors understand how kidney disease affects the body.
IzmirAges 8–18 - NCT06383208Recruiting
Heart and kidney risk study for people with both diseases
This study looks at how well we can predict heart and kidney problems in people who have both coronary heart disease and chronic kidney disease. By analyzing certain markers, researchers hope to create a better risk assessment tool.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06088134Recruiting
Predicting survival after kidney cancer surgery with CT scans
This study uses a computer model to analyze your CT scans and predict how long you might stay cancer-free after surgery. It aims to help doctors personalize follow-up care for clear cell kidney cancer.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT04626167RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a bladder transplant done with a kidney transplant
This early-phase study is testing a combined bladder and kidney transplant approach for people whose bladder problems damage the kidneys. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve bladder and kidney outcomes and be done safely.

Urology cancer registry study using body microbiome data
This study builds a patient registry for prostate, kidney, bladder, and ureter cancers by analyzing your body’s microbiome (the microbes living in/ on the body). It may help doctors personalize care in the future, and your participation mainly involves allowing your medical and related information to be used for research.

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.
