SeoulAges 2 years+ - NCT02378805Recruiting
Alport syndrome registry to help delay kidney failure
This is a registry that collects information from people with Alport syndrome to better understand the disease and how to delay kidney failure. It may help researchers learn which factors and treatments are most important over time.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges Any age - NCT07491042Recruiting
A study of SGLT2 inhibitors for people on peritoneal dialysis
This study tests whether a type of diabetes medicine called SGLT2 inhibitors (which help lower blood sugar and protect the kidneys) can benefit people who are on chronic peritoneal dialysis. You may be able to join if you are 13 or older, have some urine output, and do not have certain other health issues.
NizwaAges 13 years+ - NCT07535320Recruiting
What Dialysis Treatment Do Patients Prefer?
This research study asks patients with advanced kidney disease about their preferences for different dialysis treatment options before starting treatment. Your feedback helps doctors understand what matters most to patients when choosing how to manage their kidney disease.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT07428395Enrolling by invitation
Monitoring during continuous kidney replacement therapy in the ICU
This study tests a new way to monitor patients while they receive continuous kidney replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) in the ICU. It aims to see if this monitoring can be done safely and smoothly, helping doctors track your treatment better.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05952999Enrolling by invitation
Studying Hospital-At-Home care done from home
This trial looks at how well a “Hospital at Home” program works when people start from the emergency department or are already in the hospital and can be cared for at home. It may help teams improve care at home for certain medical conditions and situations.
Peoria, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07185100Recruiting
Finding early heart failure in at-risk adults across Germany
This study uses heart MRI scans to find unrecognized heart failure in people who have risk factors like diabetes, kidney disease, high blood pressure, or obesity but haven't been diagnosed with heart failure yet. If you join, you will help researchers learn how common hidden heart failure is and take an important step for your own heart health.
BerlinAges 40–69 - 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 - NCT06360380Recruiting
Wearable device for fluid removal in heart failure
This trial tests a wearable device that removes extra fluid from your body without using the kidneys. It may help people with heart failure who still have fluid buildup despite taking high doses of water pills.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 21–79 - NCT07008365RecruitingPhase 3
Measuring belly pressure and ultrasound to guide fluid removal in heart failure
This trial tests whether using belly pressure and bedside ultrasound can help doctors better manage fluid removal (decongestion) in people hospitalized with heart failure. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better outcomes.
ZaragozaAges 18–100 - NCT05084768Recruiting
Test blood markers to predict kidney transplant rejection
This study looks at special blood tests to help predict when kidney transplant rejection might happen. If the markers work, they could help doctors catch rejection earlier and adjust treatment sooner.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04626167RecruitingEarly Phase 1
