Low-protein diet trial for chronic kidney disease patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares a low-protein diet using special low-protein foods versus a low-protein diet without those foods. It aims to see how well the diet works and whether it affects nutrition and kidney-health outcomes in people not on dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether eating mostly plants (with some animal products) can safely help people with moderate kidney disease. Researchers will compare this diet to a standard kidney-friendly diet and see how it affects kidney function and overall health.
This study tests how well kidney patients tolerate a new oral nutrition supplement taken by mouth or through a feeding tube. It aims to see if it is acceptable for daily use over 28 days.
This study tests a connected urine test strip (a small device that checks your urine at home) to help doctors assess what you eat and improve your diet. It's for people with advanced chronic kidney disease who need help managing their nutrition.
This trial tests a low-protein diet (called PLADO) to help manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3–5. It aims to slow kidney decline and improve nutrition. You may join if your kidney function is stable and your blood sugar and blood pressure are under control.
This study looks at how replacing high-protein foods affects people with chronic kidney disease. If you join, you will eat a carefully controlled diet to help researchers understand if changing your protein intake can improve your kidney health.
This study tests a plant-focused diet plan to help people with diabetes and moderately to severely reduced kidney function avoid or delay needing dialysis. You would get diet instructions based on your random group and have several follow-up visits and check-ins over 6 months.
