Kidney Disease clinical trials in Idaho: what to expect

Kidney disease trials are mostly for chronic kidney disease that is slowly getting worse, including kidney disease caused by diabetes. They test medicines meant to slow the decline in kidney function and protect the heart, usually on top of the standard blood pressure and diabetes treatments. Specific kidney diseases such as IgA nephropathy, FSGS and polycystic kidney disease now have many trials of their own, and separate studies enroll people on dialysis or living with a transplant.

In Idaho, recruiting kidney disease studies are concentrated in Boise, Idaho Falls, Coeur d'Alene and Meridian. 5 of the 5 are run by a drug or device company, which usually means a larger study with travel reimbursement; the rest are academic or hospital-led.

Who kidney disease trials usually look for

Trials describe kidney disease by two numbers: the filtration rate (eGFR) from a blood test and the amount of protein in the urine. Most enroll an eGFR between about 20 and 75 and a urine protein level above a cut-off, both measured at screening. Nearly all ask that you have taken a stable dose of a blood-pressure medicine of the ACE inhibitor or ARB type for three months, and many allow or require an SGLT2 inhibitor. IgA nephropathy and FSGS trials need a past kidney biopsy. Common exclusions are a transplant, dialysis and uncontrolled blood pressure.

What taking part involves

Screening includes blood and urine tests, sometimes a 24-hour urine collection, and a review of your records. Trials then run one to three years with visits every four to twelve weeks for labs and blood pressure, taking a study pill or injection added to your usual medicines; placebo arms are common and an extension often follows. Your nephrologist keeps managing your care. Study medicine and tests are free and visits are usually paid.

Questions worth asking the study team

Which stage the trial enrolls and whether you fit it; whether any of your medicines change; how often labs are needed; the chance of placebo; and whether you will be told your own kidney results during the study.

EASi-KIDNEY™ (The Studies of Heart & Kidney Protection With BI 690517 in Combination With Empagliflozin)
PHASE3 Huntsville, Alabama +4 sites NCT06531824
This trial is looking for adults with chronic kidney disease who are at risk of it getting worse. Participants will take a study medicine called BI 690517 along with empagliflozin or just empagliflozin for the study duration.
Recruiting
A Phase III Renal Outcomes and Cardiovascular Mortality Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Baxdrostat in Combination With Dapagliflozin in Participants With Chronic Kidney Disease and High Blood Pressure
PHASE3 Fairhope, Alabama +4 sites NCT06742723
This trial is looking for adults with chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure. If you join, you will take medications to see how they affect your kidney health and heart-related risks.
Recruiting
ANCHOR Study: A Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of ABBV-CLS-628 in Adult Participants With Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)
PHASE2 Birmingham, Alabama +4 sites NCT06902558
This trial is looking for adults with a specific type of kidney disease. Participants will receive either the study drug or a placebo every 4 weeks for 92 weeks and will attend regular check-ups.
Recruiting
A Study of Mezagitamab in Adults With Kidney Condition Called IgA Nephropathy
PHASE3 Birmingham, Alabama +4 sites NCT06963827
This trial is looking for adults with a kidney condition called IgA nephropathy. Participants will receive either mezagitamab or a placebo for 22 weeks and then be monitored for about 1.5 years.
Recruiting
A Long-Term Follow-Up Study of Participants Exposed to REACT
N/A Meridian, Idaho NCT05918523
This trial is looking for people who have received a specific kidney treatment before. If selected, participants will receive up to two REACT injections into the same kidney over the course of several months to check the long-term safety of the treatment.

Kidney Disease clinical trials in Idaho: common questions

How many Kidney Disease clinical trials are recruiting in Idaho?
TrialFinder currently lists 5 recruiting Kidney Disease clinical trials with study sites in Idaho. Results are updated regularly from ClinicalTrials.gov, the official U.S. registry of clinical studies.
Where are Kidney Disease clinical trials located in Idaho?
Study sites for the Kidney Disease trials listed on this page include Meridian. Each trial page lists every participating site with contact details, so you can find the location closest to you.
Do I need insurance to join a Kidney Disease clinical trial in Idaho?
No. Study-related care is covered by the trial sponsor at no cost to participants, including the study treatment, required lab tests and study visits. Many Kidney Disease trials in Idaho also compensate participants for time and travel. Health insurance is not required to search or enroll.
How do I qualify for a Kidney Disease clinical trial in Idaho?
Each study sets its own criteria based on age, Kidney Disease diagnosis details, prior treatments, current medications and general health. The fastest way to find out is to contact a research site directly — most will pre-screen you by phone in 10 to 15 minutes at no charge. You can also create a free TrialFinder profile to be matched automatically.
What stage of kidney disease do trials look for?
Trials state an eGFR range and a urine protein threshold rather than a stage name; most cover stages 2 to 4. People on dialysis or with a transplant have separate trials written for them.
Do I need a kidney biopsy to join?
Trials for IgA nephropathy, FSGS and lupus nephritis require a past biopsy confirming the diagnosis. Trials for diabetic or general chronic kidney disease do not.
Will I keep my current kidney and blood pressure medicines?
Yes. Kidney trials add the study treatment to a stable regimen, usually including an ACE inhibitor or ARB, and your own nephrologist continues to manage them.
