Chemoablation for low-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests using chemotherapy directly into the bladder to treat low-grade bladder cancer that has come back, as an alternative to surgery. It may help people with small, low-grade tumors avoid the need for a more invasive procedure.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07019597Recruiting
Nerve stimulation vs. tibial nerve stimulation for overactive bladder
This study compares two types of non-invasive nerve stimulation (NESA and PTNS) to treat overactive bladder symptoms. It's for people whose medications haven't worked well.
ValenciaAges Any age - 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 - NCT07022418RecruitingPhase 2
Formoterol for diabetic kidney disease
This trial tests if a drug called formoterol (usually used for asthma) can help protect the kidneys in people with type 2 diabetes and early-to-moderate kidney disease. It may offer a new way to slow kidney damage.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT07017270RecruitingPhase 4
GLP-1 drugs for people with diabetes on dialysis
This study tests if a type 2 diabetes medication called a GLP-1 receptor agonist (like Ozempic) is safe and effective for people on dialysis. It may help manage blood sugar and improve health outcomes for those with kidney failure.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07017842Recruiting
Predicting outcomes for hypospadias surgery
This study follows boys having their first surgery for hypospadias (where the pee hole is not at the tip of the penis) to find out what factors lead to the best results. The goal is to help doctors better predict who will have a smooth recovery.
Doha, Baladiyat ad DawhahAges 1–12 - NCT07016074RecruitingPhase 2
Nitrate to prevent kidney injury from contrast dye
This trial tests whether a simple inorganic nitrate pill can protect your kidneys from damage caused by contrast dye used in heart catheterization or CT scans. It is for people whose kidneys are already somewhat weak, making them at higher risk for this type of injury.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07015138Recruiting
Comparing two radiation approaches for prostate cancer that has spread a little
This trial is testing whether giving radiation to all spots of cancer that show up on a PSMA PET scan works better than giving radiation only to the main tumor in the prostate. It is for men whose prostate cancer has spread to a few other places (up to 10 spots).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07020390Recruiting
How anesthesia affects recovery after prostate surgery
This trial compares different anesthesia methods to see which helps patients recover better after HOLEP surgery for an enlarged prostate. Results could help choose the best anesthesia for future patients.
Melikgazi, KayseriAges 18 years+ - NCT05518253RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T treatment for CD70-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a lab-made immune therapy (CAR-T) that targets a protein called CD70 found on some advanced cancers. It’s designed for people whose solid tumors have spread and no standard treatments have worked or weren’t tolerated.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06092450Recruiting
Using AI scans to predict bladder cancer treatment results
This trial uses an artificial intelligence model to analyze CT scans taken before bladder removal surgery. The goal is to see if the AI can predict outcomes for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06088134Recruiting
Predicting survival after kidney cancer surgery with CT scans
This study uses a computer model to analyze your CT scans and predict how long you might stay cancer-free after surgery. It aims to help doctors personalize follow-up care for clear cell kidney cancer.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06355336Recruiting
Prostate cancer registry for men in the Ohio region
This trial is a registry that collects information from men with prostate cancer to help doctors learn more about the disease and improve care. It is open to people recently diagnosed (since 2023) who live in Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06342128Recruiting
Molecular study of inflammation in kidney transplants
This study looks at molecular changes in kidney transplants that have microvascular inflammation (a type of injury). It aims to better understand why some transplants get this inflammation, which could lead to better treatments.
ParisAges 18–100 - NCT06621264Recruiting
Exercise study to improve walking in kidney and artery disease
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with chronic kidney disease and peripheral artery disease walk better and feel stronger. It aims to improve mobility and quality of life.
Ferrara, ItalyAges 18–80 - NCT07011719RecruitingPhase 3
Kidney cancer trial: new combo vs. cabozantinib alone
This trial tests a new drug (casdatifan) combined with cabozantinib for advanced clear cell kidney cancer, comparing it to cabozantinib alone. It's for people who haven't taken these specific medicines before and are still in fairly good health.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07007910RecruitingPhase 1
Study of HSK46575 for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug, HSK46575, for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has worsened after hormone therapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it can help slow the cancer's growth.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07006831Recruiting
Blood study for kidney transplant patients
This study collects blood and leftover donor samples from kidney transplant recipients who need a biopsy. The goal is to improve monitoring after transplant.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07005154RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ASP5541 for metastatic prostate cancer
This study tests an experimental drug called ASP5541 for men with metastatic prostate cancer (either hormone-sensitive or castration-resistant). It aims to see if the drug can slow cancer growth and improve outcomes when added to standard hormone therapy.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07008898Recruiting
Timing of sling placement during prolapse surgery
This trial tests if placing a sling to treat stress urinary incontinence before or after fixing pelvic organ prolapse changes outcomes. It may help women who need both procedures.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07011342Recruiting
Testing a new PET scan after focal treatment for prostate cancer
This trial tests a new type of PET scan to see how well it finds leftover cancer after you've had focal therapy (treatment to just part of the prostate) for intermediate-risk prostate cancer in the last 9 months.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07006532Recruiting
Tocilizumab for chronic active antibody-mediated rejection
This trial tests whether the drug tocilizumab can help treat chronic active antibody-mediated rejection after a kidney transplant. It is for people whose kidney function is still fairly good and who have certain findings on biopsy.

Kidney Energy Use and Scarring in ANCA Vasculitis
This study looks at how kidney cells use energy and how that leads to scarring in people with ANCA vasculitis. It compares findings with people who have other kidney diseases to better understand and possibly treat kidney damage.
