Reggio Emilia, REAges 18–75 - NCT07060716Recruiting
Blood test to monitor kidney transplant health
This study is testing a blood test that looks for tiny pieces of the donor's DNA in your blood to check how your new kidney is doing. It may help doctors monitor your transplant and spot problems early, possibly without needing a biopsy.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06987552Recruiting
Single-Incision Robotic Surgery for Upper Urinary Tract Cancer
This study tests a new, less invasive robotic surgery using a single small incision to remove the kidney and the upper part of the ureter (the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder) in people with upper tract urothelial cancer. It may offer a faster recovery with fewer side effects compared to traditional surgery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06987760Recruiting
Comparing Sizes of Ureteroscopes for Kidney Stone Laser Treatment
This study compares two different sizes of flexible ureteroscopes to treat kidney and upper ureter stones using a laser. The goal is to see which size works better while keeping similar stone-breaking power.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07055165Recruiting
Prostate cancer education and screening for Black men
This trial offers free prostate cancer education and screening to Black men in Oklahoma who haven't been diagnosed yet. It aims to increase awareness and catch cancer early, but requires using a phone app for 30 days.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 45–69 - NCT07057375Recruiting
Pulsed magnetic field therapy for muscle loss from hormone treatment
This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy can help prevent or reverse muscle loss and weakness caused by hormone therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer. The treatment is non-invasive and may help you stay stronger during your cancer care.
ShatinAges 18 years+ - NCT07056595Recruiting
Finerenone for IgA nephropathy patients
This trial tests whether finerenone can help people with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease. It is for adults with high protein in their urine who are already on standard kidney-protecting medications.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07059884Recruiting
Exercise program to help people with cancer stay active
This trial tests a distance-based exercise program designed to help people on chemotherapy maintain their physical function and prevent disability. It is for patients with certain cancers who are working full-time and can participate in moderate physical activity.
Dublin, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07056790RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET scan using 68Ga-PSMA-CYC for prostate cancer
This trial is testing a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer called 68Ga-PSMA-CYC to take detailed pictures of prostate cancer. It may help doctors better see where the cancer is and how far it has spread.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT07064174Recruiting
Sickle cell kidney research study
This study collects kidney tissue samples from people with sickle cell disease and healthy volunteers to better understand how sickle cell affects the kidneys. If you have sickle cell disease or a related blood disorder, you may help researchers find new ways to protect kidney function.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07056283Recruiting
Urine markers for low magnesium levels
This study looks for substances in urine that might help doctors understand and diagnose low magnesium levels. If you have had low magnesium in the past, this research could lead to better detection.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT07055282RecruitingEarly Phase 1
SGLT2 inhibitor for kidney stone prevention
This trial tests if a diabetes medication (SGLT2i) can help prevent calcium kidney stones. Researchers want to see if it changes the way your urine absorbs and processes minerals.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT07058402Recruiting
Comparing two kidney stone surgeries for medium stones
This trial compares two different surgeries for removing a single kidney stone that is 2 to 3 centimeters in size. One method uses a flexible scope with a suction tube, and the other uses a small incision in the back. The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07062549RecruitingPhase 1
New imaging agent for metastatic clear cell kidney cancer
This trial tests a new radioactive imaging agent (111In-XYIMSR-01) to see how well it finds clear cell kidney cancer that has spread. It involves a special SPECT/CT scan and may help doctors better see where the cancer is.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05428826RecruitingPhase 4
Stopping steroids early if PET/CT looks negative
This study tests whether some people with idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis can stop prednisone earlier when a PET/CT scan shows no concerning activity. It may reduce steroid side effects while keeping the disease under control.
Agen, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06659835Recruiting
Amino acid loss during kidney dialysis in the ICU
This study looks at how many amino acids (building blocks of protein) are lost during continuous kidney dialysis in patients in the intensive care unit after surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to support nutrition in these patients.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05817929Recruiting
Angiopoietin levels and outcomes after heart bypass surgery
This study looks at how a blood protein called angiopoietin relates to recovery and complications after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. If you’re having scheduled heart bypass-type surgery, your team may take blood samples to see whether these levels can help predict outcomes.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06327178Recruiting
Sbrt and Immunotherapy for Advanced Kidney Cancer
This trial studies whether combining a special type of radiation (SBRT) with an immunotherapy (PD-1 blocker) can shrink kidney cancer that has already spread. It is for people who have already had this combination treatment before.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06989892Recruiting

This trial tests whether a newer, higher-performing dialysis filter helps people with kidney failure and sepsis better than the standard filter. It focuses on patients with high levels of inflammation (measured by a marker called interleukin-6).
Dusit, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06988696Recruiting
Heated socks during bladder tumor surgery to prevent hypothermia
This study tests whether wearing heated socks during bladder tumor surgery helps keep your body temperature stable and your vital signs normal. Patients who are comfortable with heated socks and meet other health criteria may join.

Obe-cel for severe lupus with kidney inflammation
This trial tests a new cell therapy called obe-cel in people ages 12 to 65 with severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that has not responded to other treatments and has caused active lupus nephritis (kidney disease). The goal is to see if obe-cel can reduce lupus activity and improve kidney health.
