Testing a new drug for diabetic kidney disease
This study tests a new medicine called AP303 for people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. The goal is to see if it is safe and how the body processes it. If you have diabetes and your kidneys are not working as well as they used to, this trial might help find new treatment options.

Brodalumab for immune-related side effects from cancer treatment
This trial tests if brodalumab, an antibody that blocks a specific immune pathway (IL-17), can help control side effects caused by immunotherapy cancer treatment. It is for people with advanced solid organ cancers who have immune-related side effects that are suspected to involve IL-17.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06673875Recruiting
Pelvic floor training for stress urinary incontinence
This study tests whether special pelvic floor muscle exercises using modern tools can help women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It may offer a non-surgical way to strengthen the muscles that control urine flow.
Brno, Czech RepublicAges 18–80 - NCT06674031Recruiting
Survey on heart risk knowledge in kidney disease
This study aims to understand how much people with chronic kidney disease know about heart disease risk factors. It involves a simple questionnaire (no drugs or procedures) to help improve patient education.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06674811Recruiting
Childhood cancer surgery recovery study
This study looks at how children and young adults recover after surgery for solid tumors. It also includes their caregivers to understand how resilience affects recovery.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 3–25 - NCT06674863Recruiting
Support for Black men after prostate cancer treatment
This study tests a personalized care plan to help Black and African American men who have finished treatment for prostate cancer. The goal is to see if the plan improves health understanding and follow-up care.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06675357RecruitingPhase 2
FAPI PET/MRI scan for prostate cancer
This trial uses a new type of PET/MRI scan (called FAPI) to see how well it can find prostate cancer. It may help doctors learn about a different way to image the cancer. You can join if you already have a scheduled or recent PSMA PET scan.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06676007Recruiting
Early use of a targeted budesonide for IgA nephropathy
This trial tests starting a special form of budesonide (Nefecon) early in people with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease. The goal is to see if it can reduce protein in the urine and protect kidney function.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06676384RecruitingPhase 4
Testing additional drugs for IgA nephropathy in South Asian patients
This trial is testing if adding another approved drug to standard treatment can slow kidney function decline in people with IgA nephropathy. It aims to find better options for South Asian adults with this condition.
Nadiād, GujaratAges 18–65 - NCT06676527Recruiting
Vorolanib for advanced kidney cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a targeted therapy pill, vorolanib, for people with advanced kidney cancer that has clear cell features and has gotten worse after initial treatment. It may offer a new option when standard second-line treatments are not working.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06676579RecruitingPhase 2
Avacopan for active IgA kidney disease with crescents
This trial tests if avacopan, a targeted anti-inflammatory drug, can safely treat a severe form of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) where small crescents form in the kidney filters. It may help reduce protein leakage and preserve kidney function.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06676631RecruitingPhase 1
NK cells plus rituximab for active lupus
This study tests whether combining immune cells (NK cells) with rituximab can help people with hard-to-treat lupus or lupus-related kidney disease. It is for patients whose lupus is still active despite standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdomgAges 18–65 - NCT06676696RecruitingPhase 4
Stopping immunosuppression after failed kidney transplant
This study compares what happens when patients with a failed kidney transplant (still in the body) stop their immunosuppressant medicines at 6 months versus continuing them. The goal is to safely prevent your immune system from becoming too sensitive, which can make finding a new donor kidney harder.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06676774RecruitingPhase 2
Does oxytocin nasal spray help people with diabetes insipidus?
This study tests if a nasal spray with oxytocin (a natural hormone) can improve emotion recognition and reduce stress-related hormone levels in people with central diabetes insipidus compared to healthy volunteers.
