KIDNEY DISEASE, CHRONIC

This study tests whether checking a patient's genes before a kidney transplant helps doctors give the right dose of tacrolimus, a drug that prevents organ rejection. About 114 people waiting for a kidney transplant will be randomly assigned to either genetic testing or standard c…

This study tests whether a ketoanalogue supplement can help prevent muscle loss in people with stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not yet on dialysis. About 100 adults will take the supplement alongside a moderately low-protein diet. The goal is to see if this appr…

This study tests a new treatment called AdiaVita, made from umbilical cord blood stem cells and exosomes with glutathione, for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). About 100 adults aged 18 to 80 with moderate CKD will receive monthly IV infusions and a daily skin spray for t…

This study is for men aged 18-85 with both low testosterone and moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. Researchers want to see if an oral testosterone pill called JATENZO can safely raise testosterone levels and improve red blood cell counts, muscle strength, and sexual funct…

This study tests whether adding the experimental drug BI 690517 to the existing medication empagliflozin can slow kidney disease worsening in adults with chronic kidney disease. About 11,000 participants, with or without type 2 diabetes, will be randomly assigned to receive eithe…

This study tests whether a special egg white pudding can help improve nutrition and frailty in people with kidney failure who are on dialysis. About 54 adults will receive either the egg white pudding or a standard supplement after dialysis three times a week for 12 weeks. The go…

This study is observing 200 kidney transplant patients in Scotland to see if certain biomarkers (biological signs) can help predict transplant rejection. Researchers will track how many patients experience rejection, confirmed by a biopsy. The goal is to improve long-term outcome…

This study aims to find genetic links to kidney disease by analyzing DNA from 50,000 adults across the US. You don't need to have kidney disease to join. Participation is online: fill out a 20-minute health survey and provide a saliva sample by mail. In return, you can get free g…

This study looks at how a gene called APOL1 affects kidney transplant success. People of African ancestry are more likely to have certain versions of this gene that can cause kidney disease. Researchers will test DNA from 5,000 kidney donors and recipients to learn how these gene…
