Chronic kidney disease clinical trials, in English

CKD studies usually define an eGFR window and sometimes albuminuria. Dialysis and transplant protocols are separate from earlier-stage records. Anemia, mineral-bone, and heart-risk studies also appear. Lab ranges on the NCT page decide eligibility, not this rewrite. Sourced from ClinicalTrials.gov. Not a recommendation to join any study.

How to read this list

Each headline is a rewrite of registry fields (phase, intervention, condition). Open the NCT link before you call a site. Eligibility is decided by the study team, not by this page. See how to find a trial and eligibility explained.

Phase 3: testing Dapagliflozin for Chronic Kidney Failure in Children and Young Adults

Recent trials have demonstrated positive renal outcomes of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) additive to angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEis) in adult patients with diabetic and non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD). The hypothesis of DOUBLE PRO-TECT Alport is to demonstrate superiority of the SGLT2i dapagliflozin in preventing progression of the chronic kidney disease Alport syndrome in children and young adults at early stages of disease.

Women with HIV have an increased risk of having a myocardial infarction (heart attack) as compared to women without HIV. One of the mechanisms underlying the increased risk of myocardial infarction among women with HIV may involve reduced ability to increase blood flow through large and small coronary arteries at times when increased flow of oxygen-carrying blood is needed.

Polypharmacy and drug-drug interactions often limit statin optimization, including in a population of patients prescribed cytochrome P3A4 inhibitors such as, immunosuppressive agents, protease inhibitors, and antifungals. These patients frequently have autoimmune conditions or rheumatologic disorders that require complex drug regimens and are often on low-dose statin therapy or no statin at all, resulting in suboptimal LDL levels despite increased cardiovascular (CV) risk.

When the literature is examined, it is seen that the extent to which cough strength, grip strength, physical activity level and quality of life levels are affected in children with chronic kidney failure compared to healthy children is not sufficiently clarified. For this reason, this study aimed to reveal impairments in grip strength, cough strength, physical activity, sleep quality or quality of life in children with chronic renal failure compared to healthy children.

Phase 4: testing Empagliflozin 10 MG then Placebo for Chronic Kidney Diseases

The proximal tubule remains the main site for sodium reabsorption in patients with advanced renal failure. The investigators therefore hypothesize that SGLT2i should still exert a significant natriuretic effect in patients with eGFR below 20 ml/min/1.73m2, and therefore should still decrease proteinuria with a potential renal protective effect.

FAQ: Chronic kidney disease trials

How do I find recruiting Chronic kidney disease clinical trials?

This hub lists 36 recruiting Chronic kidney disease studies from a ClinicalTrials.gov snapshot, rewritten in plain English. Each card links to its NCT record. You can also search the official registry for “chronic kidney disease” at https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?cond=chronic%20kidney%20disease.

What does a Chronic kidney disease trial page on PlainTrials include?

A phase explainer, a plain-English summary grounded in the brief summary, inclusion/exclusion extracted from the public eligibility block, sponsor name, and any central contact the sponsor published. It is not a match to a trial.

Where are Chronic kidney disease studies located in this snapshot?

Sites that appear on these records include Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mexico City, Mexico; Rosario, Argentina; Kyiv, Ukraine; Seoul, South Korea. A city on a record is not a guarantee that the site is taking new patients this week — call the NCT contact.

Can PlainTrials tell me if I qualify for a Chronic kidney disease study?

No. Eligibility is decided by the study team using the protocol, labs, and consent. Our “who it is for” list is a readable extract of public inclusion text only.
