NEPTUNE Match study linking you to possible kidney research trials
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study is an add-on process that uses information from the NEPTUNE kidney study to see whether you might be able to join other kidney research trials. It may help connect eligible people with appropriate new treatment studies when they become available.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are already enrolled (consented) in the NEPTUNE observational kidney study, either with a biopsy or without
- You get kidney care regularly at a NEPTUNE study site
- You are the right age for any partner trials that are currently enrolling (age rules can change over time)
- You can consent, and if needed, your child can assent
- You speak English or Spanish

This study is for children (and some newly diagnosed patients) who have nephrotic syndrome—kidneys leaking a lot of protein. It aims to better understand the kidney condition (sometimes using biopsy) and support future care decisions.
This study collects medical information and samples from patients with podocytopathy—a type of autoimmune kidney disease that causes protein leakage into urine. Researchers will analyze your medical records and any blood or kidney tissue samples you've already had to better understand the disease and find better treatments.
This pilot study tests a device that stimulates nerves in the ear to help children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. It may improve urine protein and kidney-related outcomes for kids whose standard steroid treatment does not work.
This study uses interviews to understand how swelling from nephrotic syndrome affects daily life for children and their caregivers. It may help researchers design better care by capturing the patient and parent perspective.
This trial tests whether a small non-surgical device can help keep children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome in remission. If it works, it could lower the chance of relapse (kidney flare-ups) and help maintain kidney health.
This study is a registry that collects medical information from people with nephrotic syndrome caused by FSGS or minimal change disease (MCD). It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future care, especially by tracking patients over time.
