Laser Methods for Removing Bladder Tumors
This study compares two types of laser surgery (TFL vs. MOSES Holmium laser) for removing bladder tumors in one piece. It aims to find which approach works better for patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Thunder Bay, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06373913Recruiting
PCSK9's role in kidney damage in nephrotic syndrome
This study looks at how a protein called PCSK9 might affect kidney damage in people with nephrotic syndrome. It is for adults admitted to Kolding Hospital and aims to better understand the link between this protein and kidney problems.
KoldingAges 18 years+ - NCT06373861Recruiting
GALAXY study: Long-term look at sex chromosome conditions
This study is following people with sex chromosome differences over time to learn more about their health and development. It is open to anyone at any age who has a confirmed genetic diagnosis.
Aurora, ColoradoAges birth–100 years - NCT06374537Recruiting
Exercise program for weak kidney patients
This study tests whether a targeted exercise program can help people who are very weak due to kidney disease. If you are on dialysis, have advanced kidney disease, or have had a kidney transplant, this program may improve your strength and daily function.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06374277Recruiting
Pharmacy Coaching to Help After Hospital Stay
This study tests a program where a pharmacist helps you manage your medications after you leave the hospital. It is for people with long-term health conditions who want to stay on track with their medicines.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06376513Recruiting
Learning to use a penile implant pump
This study checks how well patients and their partners can use the pump part of a penile prosthesis (an implant for erectile dysfunction). It may help improve training for future patients.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18 years+ - NCT06376669RecruitingPhase 2
Proton beam radiation for kidney cancer
This trial tests a precise type of radiation called stereotactic body proton therapy for people with kidney cancer who cannot have surgery or other local treatments. It aims to see if this focused radiation can control the tumor with fewer side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06378346RecruitingPhase 2
Glycyrrhizin for prostate cancer before surgery
This trial tests a natural substance called glycyrrhizin (found in licorice root) before prostate surgery. It aims to see if it can help control prostate cancer. You would take it for a short time before your planned prostate removal.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06379698Recruiting
3D printed kidney models for robot-assisted surgery
This trial is testing if a 3D printed model of your kidney helps surgeons better plan and perform robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (removing only part of the kidney) for kidney tumors.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06382233Recruiting
The PRO-FUTURE study for children with kidney blockage
This study looks at how well a certain treatment works for children with a blockage in one kidney (unilateral UPJO). It may help your child avoid more serious kidney problems.
Naples, CampaniaAges 1 day–5 years - NCT06383208Recruiting
Heart and kidney risk study for people with both diseases
This study looks at how well we can predict heart and kidney problems in people who have both coronary heart disease and chronic kidney disease. By analyzing certain markers, researchers hope to create a better risk assessment tool.

MRI scan to monitor response to abiraterone before prostate surgery
This trial tests whether a special MRI scan can show how well the drug abiraterone works against high-risk prostate cancer before surgery. If you have high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread, you might be able to take abiraterone for a few months and then have a prostatectomy, with the MRI helping your doctor see the drug's effect.
