Remote ischemic conditioning for diabetic kidney disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment called remote ischemic conditioning, which uses brief blood pressure cuff inflations on your arm or leg to help protect your kidneys. It might slow down kidney damage in people with diabetes and kidney disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes and take at least one diabetes medication.
- Your kidney function is moderately to severely reduced (eGFR between 15 and 60).
- You have high levels of protein in your urine (a sign of kidney damage).
- You are able to use the device and perform self-measurements.
- You can tolerate a blood pressure cuff being inflated for 5 minutes during screening.

This study tests whether a goal-directed treatment plan using several medications can lower the risk of kidney and heart problems for people with diabetes and kidney disease. It aims to help you manage your condition more effectively.
This study tests an investigational drug called ALN-ANG3 to see if it can help people with diabetic kidney disease. The drug may reduce kidney damage and slow down the loss of kidney function. If you join, you will get the study drug or a placebo (a dummy shot) and be followed by a study doctor.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
This study tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a special cuff) can help slow down early-stage diabetic eye disease in people with type 2 diabetes. You join the study to potentially prevent your retinopathy from getting worse.
This trial tests whether a simple “arm cuff” treatment done before a heart artery procedure can help protect the kidneys and the heart in people with congestive heart failure. If it works, it may lower the chance of kidney injury around the time of the scan/stent procedure.
This trial tests whether a simple “arm conditioning” technique done remotely before a procedure can help prevent kidney injury caused by contrast dye used during certain heart catheter tests. You might benefit if you’re having a coronary angiogram and your kidney function is reduced, but you’re not on dialysis.
