Ultrasound test for lupus kidney activity
This trial uses an ultrasound to measure kidney blood flow in people with lupus kidney disease. The goal is to see if this simple test can tell how active the disease is, which might help doctors adjust treatment without needing frequent biopsies.

Testing VT-101 for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
This study tests a new drug called VT-101 for people with a type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle wall. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective. It might be an option if you have already had a biopsy and are not eligible for or refuse surgery.

How kidney failure affects your flu shot response
This study looks at how well the flu vaccine works in people with kidney failure who are on dialysis compared to healthy people. It will help doctors understand how kidney problems affect the body’s immune response to vaccination.
MilanAges 18–70 - NCT06635590Recruiting
Kidney disease, high potassium, and heart changes
This study looks at how high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) in people with chronic kidney disease may affect the heart. Doctors will use echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds) to check for changes.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06635889RecruitingPhase 2
Numbing medicine in bladder after kidney stone surgery
This study tests whether numbing medicine placed directly into the bladder can reduce pain after a ureteroscopy procedure for kidney stones. It may help you feel better and use less pain medication after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06636526Recruiting
Testing a new prostate cancer blood test in diverse groups
This study tests a new blood test (PRODICT®) to see how well it works for finding prostate cancer in men from different ethnic backgrounds. It aims to make sure the test is accurate and fair for everyone.
Sutton, SurreyAges 40–55 - NCT06636682RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine for men with high-risk prostate cancer after surgery
This trial tests a personalized vaccine (FK-PC101) given after prostate removal surgery for men with high-risk prostate cancer. It aims to see if the vaccine can help prevent the cancer from coming back without the need for additional hormone therapy or radiation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT06636747Recruiting
High-resolution diffusion MRI for prostate imaging
This study looks at new types of MRI scans to get clearer images of the prostate. It may help doctors better understand prostate health and find problems.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 55 years+ - NCT06637267Recruiting
Testing a new blood test to improve prostate cancer risk assessment
This trial is testing a new blood test (Proclarix) to see if it can better predict prostate cancer risk in men who are already scheduled for an MRI and prostate biopsy. The goal is to improve how doctors decide who needs a biopsy.
Aarau, Canton of AargauAges 45–80 - NCT06638541Recruiting
Lowering radiation dose for prostate cancer using MRI-guided machine
This trial tests if giving fewer radiation treatments using a special MRI-guided machine is safe and effective for men with prostate cancer. It may help reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
TorontoAges 18 years+ - NCT06638931RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab for rare solid tumors with high PD-L1
This trial is testing a drug called Nivolumab (an immunotherapy) for people with rare solid tumors that have high levels of PD-L1. It might be an option if you have tried other treatments and they stopped working or caused too many side effects.
Fortaleza, CearáAges 18 years+ - NCT06639763Recruiting
Erectile aid use after gender-affirming surgery
This study looks at how transgender men and their partners use erectile aids after phalloplasty or metoidioplasty. It hopes to improve sexual health and satisfaction after surgery.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06639776Recruiting
Sexual function after erectile implant in transgender people
This study looks at how well erection prostheses (implants that help with erections) work for transgender people after phalloplasty surgery. It aims to understand sexual functioning for both you and your partner.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06640959Recruiting
Bowel health study for prostate cancer radiation
This study tests whether a daily drink can help reduce bowel side effects caused by radiation for prostate cancer. If you are about to start radiation for intermediate to high-risk prostate cancer, you may be able to join.
Manchester, Greater ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT06642220RecruitingPhase 2
Y-90 radioembolization for kidney cancer
This trial tests a procedure called Y-90 radioembolization for patients with kidney cancer tumors larger than 4 cm who cannot have or choose not to have surgery. The treatment delivers tiny radioactive beads through a blood vessel to the tumor to destroy cancer cells while limiting damage to healthy tissue.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06642272RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two diabetes drugs in real-world use
This trial compares two common diabetes medications, empagliflozin and dapagliflozin, to see which works better in everyday practice. It aims to find the best treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06642402Recruiting
Studying lupus kidney disease using urine particles
This study looks at tiny particles in urine to better understand and monitor lupus-related kidney problems. It may help find better ways to track the disease without invasive biopsies.
KoldingAges 18 years+ - NCT06642597Recruiting
Starting incremental peritoneal dialysis prescription
