Ultrasound-guided diuretics for heart failure
This trial tests whether using a bedside ultrasound to guide diuretic treatment improves outcomes in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure. It may help find the right dose of IV diuretics faster.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06916624Recruiting
Imaging test for kidney cancer and related tumors
This study tests a new imaging agent that may help doctors see kidney cancer and certain other tumors more clearly on PET/CT scans. It could help find cancer that has spread or come back after treatment.

Testing an online decision aid for heart and kidney disease
This study is testing an online tool called 'My Heart and CKD' that helps people with both chronic kidney disease and heart disease make decisions about their care. The goal is to see if it is easy to use and helpful for patients and their doctors.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06921733Recruiting
Ultrasound study for children with kidney and urinary birth defects
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to create detailed images of blood flow in the kidneys of children with congenital kidney and urinary tract conditions. It aims to improve how doctors assess blockages without needing radiation.
Erlangen, BavariaAges birth–6 years - NCT06912490Recruiting
Predicting kidney function from amniotic fluid in babies with kidney issues
This study uses a sample of the fluid around your baby (amniotic fluid) to try to predict how well their kidneys will work after birth. It is for pregnancies where both kidneys have been found to have a structure problem.
ToulouseAges Any age - NCT06913647RecruitingPhase 2
Canagliflozin for fluid removal and health in peritoneal dialysis patients
This trial tests if canagliflozin, a diabetes medicine, helps remove extra fluid and reduce scarring in people on peritoneal dialysis (home-based dialysis). It may improve your dialysis results and protect your belly lining.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06921720Recruiting
Phosphate diabetes muscle study using phosphorus scan
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at phosphorus levels in the muscles of people with phosphate diabetes (a condition where the body loses too much phosphate through the kidneys). It aims to better understand how this condition affects muscles and may help guide future treatments.
BronAges 10 years+ - NCT06914791Enrolling by invitation
Pelvic floor rehab for sportswomen
This trial tests two different rehab exercises for the pelvic floor in sportswomen. It aims to find which approach works best to strengthen that area and help with recovery.
Fara in SabinaAges 18–50 - NCT06922318RecruitingPhase 2
Combined suppression of MYC for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (ZEN-3694 and enzalutamide) for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormonal treatments. It aims to see if this combination can help slow or stop the cancer from growing.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06917781Recruiting
Prostate cancer blood test vs. PSMA-PET scan study
This study is checking how well a blood test (liquid biopsy) can find prostate cancer and compare it to a special PET scan (PSMA-PET). If you qualify, you might help improve how we track prostate cancer without needing more invasive biopsies.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT05942053RecruitingPhase 4
Vitamin K2 for chronic kidney disease with high urine protein
This trial studies whether vitamin K2 can help people with chronic kidney disease (kidney damage that lasts months or longer), especially those with higher protein levels in the urine. It compares vitamin K2 use in a specific group and watches kidney-related health outcomes and safety.
Tanta, Capital of Gharbia Governorate.Ages 18 years+ - NCT06335537RecruitingPhase 1
Can baking soda help prevent kidney stones?
This study tests if adding baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to your current medication (Urocit-K) helps lower stone-forming chemicals in your urine. It is for people who have low citrate or uric acid stones and are already taking Urocit-K.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06769425RecruitingPhase 1
Combination treatment for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new combination treatment for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapy. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06845579Recruiting
Predicting blood pressure results after kidney nerve treatment
This study tests a treatment called renal denervation, which uses a special procedure to calm nerves near the kidneys that can raise blood pressure. It may help people whose high blood pressure is not well controlled despite taking several medications.
Mainz, Rheinland PflanzAges 18 years+ - NCT04004312Recruiting
Short-course radiation slices for localized prostate cancer
This trial tests a radiation approach that delivers treatment in a small number of larger “fractions” (short-course SBRT) for prostate cancer. It may help by targeting the prostate while shortening the overall number of visits.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04249154RecruitingPhase 2
After prostate surgery, test radiation plus hormone shots
This trial studies whether giving a shorter-course radiation plan after prostate surgery, along with hormone shots (LHRH), can improve outcomes for people with higher-risk prostate cancer. You may be eligible if your PSA (a blood marker) is either still low but high-risk by pathology, or it has started to rise again after surgery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06910657RecruitingPhase 1
IDOV-Immune vaccine for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental virus-based treatment for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies. The treatment is designed to infect and destroy cancer cells while boosting the immune system.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06902558RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ABBV-CLS-628 for adults with polycystic kidney disease
This trial tests a new drug, ABBV-CLS-628, for people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The goal is to see if it slows kidney function decline and is safe to use.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–55 - NCT06905808Recruiting
Normal Bladder Pressure Values Using e-Sense Catheter
This study uses a special catheter to measure normal bladder pressures during a standard bladder test. It aims to find what normal pressure values are for different ages and genders.

Gene therapy trial for children with cystinosis
This trial tests a new gene therapy called DFT383 for children aged 2 to 5 with nephropathic cystinosis. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and can help improve kidney function.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 2–5 - NCT06907147Recruiting
Renal denervation for uncontrolled high blood pressure
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation to lower blood pressure in people whose medication isn't enough. It uses a special catheter to calm nerves near the kidneys that may be overactive.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06907199RecruitingPhase 1
Antibiotic vs. bladder treatment plus antibiotic for recurrent UTIs
This study compares taking a daily antibiotic (nitrofurantoin) alone versus having a procedure that cauterizes bladder areas (fulguration) plus the same daily antibiotic, to see which is better at preventing recurrent urinary tract infections in women.
