Study of mezagitamab for IgA nephropathy
This trial tests a new drug called mezagitamab for adults with IgA nephropathy, a kidney condition.

Visual tools for cancer surgeon decision-making
This trial tests visual tools to help surgeons make better decisions for patients with early-stage prostate or kidney cancer. It may help you and your doctor choose the best treatment.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06966258Recruiting
Heart health program for Black women in Birmingham
This trial tests a program called Inspire HER, which aims to improve heart and emotional health for Black women with early-stage cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome. You may qualify if you have this condition and live in the Birmingham area.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 30–79 - NCT06963346RecruitingPhase 1
Bladder cancer trial: targeted drug plus immunotherapy before surgery
This trial tests a combination of a targeted drug (HDAC inhibitor, given directly into the bladder) and an immunotherapy (Durvalumab, given through a vein) before bladder removal surgery. It's for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who cannot take the chemo drug cisplatin.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06971874Recruiting
Sleep apnea and kidney disease: A study on outcomes
This trial looks at how obstructive sleep apnea affects people with chronic kidney disease (stages 3-4). It aims to help understand the connection between these conditions and guide better care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04968587Recruiting
Compare two ways to clean blood during dialysis
This study compares two methods for removing waste products from the blood in people who need dialysis. It aims to see whether one method works better or is safer during extra-renal (outside the body) blood purification.
MelunAges 18 years+ - NCT03595267Recruiting
Kidney health checks and care for Indigenous communities
This study offers kidney-related health screening and follow-up care for people in Indigenous communities. It’s designed to help check kidney health early using simple health measurements, and may help you get guidance sooner if anything looks off.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 10–80 - NCT04340024Recruiting
Testing blood markers linked to how well radiation works
This study looks for “biomarkers,” or measurable signs (often from blood or samples), that may show which cancers respond better to radiation therapy. It may help doctors choose radiation treatment more precisely, especially for people who had significant side effects before.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05955001RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tadalafil for early urinary symptoms after prostate surgery
This trial studies whether daily tadalafil (5 mg) can improve early urinary trouble and erection function after endoscopic prostate tissue removal. It may help men whose urinary symptoms continued even after prior medicine.
