Recruiting studies
- NCT06751498Recruiting
Predicting kidney function after partial nephrectomy with AI
This trial uses a special computer model to predict how well your kidneys will work after surgery to remove part of a kidney (partial nephrectomy). It may help doctors plan better care for people with early-stage kidney tumors.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06837909Recruiting
Nerve block vs wound injection for breathing after kidney donation
This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic kidney donation surgery: a nerve block (injection near the belly muscles) versus injecting numbing medicine directly into the surgical wound. The goal is to see which method helps you breathe better after surgery.
Petah TikvaAges 18 years+ - NCT06892743Recruiting
Comparing two pain blocks for kidney removal surgery
This trial compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief for patients undergoing open kidney removal (nephrectomy). If you have kidney cancer and are scheduled for this surgery, you may be able to join.
Maadi, Cairo GovernorateAges 18–70 - NCT06903312RecruitingPhase 4
Removing the main kidney tumor during immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether removing or burning (ablating) the main kidney tumor helps people with advanced kidney cancer who are already doing well on immunotherapy. Researchers want to see if combining local treatment with ongoing immunotherapy can improve outcomes.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07020169Recruiting
Using AI 3D kidney models to guide partial nephrectomy
This trial tests if a 3D kidney model made with artificial intelligence helps surgeons remove a kidney tumor (partial nephrectomy) more precisely. It may help preserve healthy kidney tissue while treating the cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07062952Recruiting
Salt substitute to protect kidney after tumor surgery
This study tests whether using a salt substitute instead of regular salt can help protect kidney function after kidney tumor surgery. It is for people who had a kidney removed (either full or partial) and whose remaining kidney is working well.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07141225Recruiting
Testing no-clamp, no-suture robot kidney surgery
This study is testing a special technique in robot-assisted kidney surgery where the blood supply to the kidney is not clamped and the tumor is removed without sutures. It may reduce damage to healthy kidney tissue and speed recovery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07234409Recruiting
Robotic partial nephrectomy for small kidney tumors
This trial compares different surgical methods for removing kidney tumors using a single-port robot. It aims to find the best approach for treating stage 1 kidney cancer.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07321197Recruiting
Kidney removal with or without lymph node removal for high risk kidney cancer
This study is for people with high-risk kidney cancer who are having their whole kidney removed. It compares surgery alone versus surgery plus removing lymph nodes from the tumor area to see if removing the nodes helps control the cancer better.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07672860RecruitingPhase 2
UDCA to protect kidneys during partial nephrectomy
This clinical trial is testing whether a medicine called ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) can help protect the kidneys during partial nephrectomy (removing only the tumor while keeping the healthy part of the kidney). It is for people with early-stage kidney tumors who will have temporary interruption of blood flow to the kidney during surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07533669Recruiting
Sensory room visit before kidney transplant surgery
This study tests whether spending time in a calming sensory room before kidney transplant surgery helps reduce pain, anxiety, and sleep problems. You would visit a specially designed room with soothing sights, sounds, and textures before your operation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for nephrectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 59 recruiting nephrectomy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a nephrectomy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a nephrectomy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
