Recruiting studies
- NCT05677100Recruiting
Aortix device for acute heart failure
This trial is testing a small pump placed in the aorta to help the kidneys remove extra fluid when standard IV diuretics aren't working well enough for severe heart failure. It may help you if you're hospitalized and still very congested (swollen, fluid buildup) despite strong water pills.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT07446296Recruiting
Kidney transplant exercise program for older adults
This trial tests whether a special exercise program can help people on the kidney transplant waiting list get stronger and improve their health. You would use an app to follow exercise routines at home and check in with the research team.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 60 years+ - NCT04066127Enrolling by invitation
Heart transplant study comparing two types of heart storage
This trial tests whether using a different method to store a donated heart before transplant improves outcomes. It compares “non-ischemic preservation” versus standard cold storage for people getting a new heart.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT03707262RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brother or sister donor transplant using kidney and stem cells
This study tests a combined approach for kidney transplant patients: standard living-donor kidney transplant plus an added “stem cell” component taken from the same sibling donor. It aims to improve transplant outcomes by trying to better control the immune response and reduce complications.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05600634Recruiting
Monitoring skin graft to spot rejection after kidney transplant
This study follows people after a kidney transplant to see if a small skin graft can help detect early signs of acute rejection. It may help your care team notice rejection sooner and adjust treatment earlier.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–60 - NCT07205692Recruiting
Heart health and multiple conditions after kidney transplant
This study looks at how common heart problems and other health conditions affect kidney transplant patients over time. Researchers hope to learn how to better manage these risks.
Derby, DerbyshireAges 18 years+ - NCT03102125RecruitingPhase 4
Testing causes of heart transplant graft problems with scans
This study looks at why heart transplant “grafts” can start to malfunction again after transplant. If you qualify, you may undergo MRI and related heart testing to help researchers find ways to detect or understand graft dysfunction.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04671771Recruiting
Testing a new graft for hemodialysis access in kidney failure
This study tests whether an “AV graft” implant works safely and well for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. It may help your dialysis access last and work better, compared with current expectations for AV grafts.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–90 - NCT02161783Recruiting
Second transplant for blood stem cell graft failure
This trial studies treatment after a first stem cell transplant fails to produce lasting blood recovery. It may help people who need a second transplant because their counts never fully recovered or then dropped again.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Any age - 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 - NCT07029503RecruitingPhase 2
Heart failure and kidney function study
This trial tests a new treatment for people with heart failure and severely reduced kidney function. It aims to see if the treatment can help protect both the heart and kidneys.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07341516Enrolling by invitation
Global study of deceased donor kidney use
This study examines all kidneys donated from deceased donors (brain death or circulatory death) between 2010 and 2025 to understand how they are used for transplantation. It may help improve future transplant practices.
Nashville, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT06868797Recruiting
Dapagliflozin for advanced heart failure patients waiting for transplant
This study tests whether dapagliflozin (a medicine already approved for other heart conditions) can help protect kidney and heart function in people with very advanced heart failure who are waiting for a heart transplant. If you qualify, you'll help researchers learn if this drug offers extra benefits beyond standard care.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT07385651Recruiting
Cool storage for donated kidneys
This trial compares storing donated kidneys at 10 degrees Celsius (a cooler temperature) instead of the usual ice storage. It tests if this might help the kidney stay healthier before transplant.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 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 - NCT07631221Recruiting
Protein Amount in Nutrition for Critically Ill Kidney Patients
This study tests whether different amounts of protein in tube feeding or IV nutrition affect kidney recovery in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with kidney injury. The goal is to find the best protein level to help kidneys heal while patients are critically ill.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT07045467RecruitingPhase 1
Remimazolam for sedation during kidney transplant
This study tests whether a sedative called remimazolam works well and safely for people getting a kidney transplant. It might help you stay calm and comfortable during surgery.
Jinan, ShangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05900401RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune tolerance study for kidney transplant recipients
This study tests whether giving a special mix of donor immune cells along with immune-suppressing medicines right after a kidney transplant can help the body accept the new kidney without long-term anti-rejection drugs. It aims to reduce the need for daily transplant medications.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT05917795Recruiting
Endoscopic stomach reduction for weight loss before kidney transplant
This trial tests an endoscopic procedure that helps reduce stomach size to support weight loss in people with severe kidney disease who may need a kidney transplant. It may help some patients meet transplant-center weight requirements and potentially improve readiness for transplant care.
RomeAges 18–70 - NCT07596043Recruiting
Higher protein for intensive care patients with kidney failure
This study compares giving a higher amount of protein to a standard amount in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure who need dialysis. The goal is to see if more protein helps recovery.
Bangkok, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT05525507RecruitingPhase 1
Test early immune-tolerance treatment for matched kidney transplant patients
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment plan given after a kidney transplant to help the immune system stay calm and reduce the risk of rejection. Participants must have a well-functioning kidney transplant from a closely matched living donor and meet health and safety requirements.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05385432RecruitingPhase 3
Kidney transplant induction therapy for sensitized patients
This trial tests a specific “induction” treatment to help people who have stronger immune reactions from past sensitizing events during a kidney transplant. It may help improve how well the transplant works and how safely the immune system is managed.
ToursAges 18–79 - NCT06881927RecruitingPhase 4
Reducing anti-rejection meds in ICU for kidney transplant patients
This study tests whether quickly reducing your anti-rejection medicines during a life-threatening ICU stay can help your kidneys recover and improve your overall outcome. It is for kidney transplant recipients with septic shock or severe breathing failure.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06794216Recruiting
Comparing dialysis methods to clean blood in kidney failure
This study compares different types of dialysis to see which removes waste products (uremic toxins) best from the blood. If you have been on dialysis for at least 6 months and use the same filter for a year, this trial may help find a better way to clean your blood.
Bologna, Emilia-RomagnaAges 18 years+
