CMV prevention in kidney transplant patients
This trial tests two ways to prevent CMV in kidney transplant patients who are at high risk. It compares giving antiviral medicine preemptively (based on regular blood tests) versus giving it as prophylaxis (starting right after transplant). The goal is to see which approach prevents CMV infection better.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06799936Recruiting
Helping older kidney patients decide on treatment with their doctor

A new BCG treatment for bladder cancer that hasn't spread
This trial tests a new form of intravesical (given directly into the bladder) treatment called rMBCG for people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who have not had BCG therapy before. It may be an option for those with certain types of early bladder cancer, including carcinoma in situ (CIS) or papillary tumors after removal surgery.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–85 - NCT06801262Recruiting
New Blood Test to Detect Kidney Transplant Rejection
This trial is testing a new blood test (called TreaT-Assay) to help diagnose acute rejection after a kidney transplant. The goal is to catch rejection earlier and more accurately, so you can get the right treatment faster.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06801938Recruiting
Blue dye test during incontinence surgery to reduce complications
This study tests if using a special blue dye (methylene blue) during surgery to correct stress urinary incontinence helps doctors find and prevent complications. It compares two surgical methods (TVT and TOT) to see which is safer.
IstanbulAges 18–85 - NCT06802224RecruitingPhase 4
Medication to prevent kidney injury after major surgery
This study compares two medications given during surgery to see which one better protects the kidneys after the procedure. If you are having major non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and you need medication to support your blood pressure, this trial may be a good fit.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06805409Recruiting
Ultrasound test for kidney risk in ARDS patients
This study tests whether a special ultrasound of the veins (VExUS) can help predict kidney injury in people with severe breathing problems who are on a breathing machine and receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
Créteil, Val de MarneAges 18–100 - NCT06805825RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NN3201 for advanced cancers with c-Kit
This trial tests a new drug, NN3201, that targets a protein called c-Kit found on some cancer cells. It may be an option for people with certain advanced solid tumors, including GIST, small cell lung cancer, or other c-Kit-positive cancers, who have already tried standard treatments or cannot take them.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06806917Recruiting
Study on lymph node surgery for testicular cancer over 20 years
This study reviews 20 years of experience in removing lymph nodes in the abdomen (RPLND) for testicular cancer. It aims to understand the outcomes of this surgery for people who had it after chemotherapy or for early-stage cancer.
Bologna, BolognaAges Any age - NCT06807359RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Light-activated therapy for localized prostate cancer
This trial uses a special light-activated drug (photodynamic therapy) to treat prostate cancer that is still confined to the prostate. It aims to destroy the cancer while sparing healthy tissue, and may be an option for people with intermediate-risk prostate cancer who have not had other treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06808451Recruiting
Comparing DNA test vs. standard culture for UTI diagnosis
This study compares two ways to diagnose urinary tract infections: a newer DNA test (PCR) versus the standard urine culture. The goal is to see if the DNA test finds infections faster and more accurately, so you can get the right treatment sooner.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06808542Recruiting
Pelvic floor health study for female physiotherapy students
This study looks at pelvic floor function in young female physiotherapy students. It aims to understand how common pelvic floor issues are in this group.
GizaAges 18–25 - NCT06808516RecruitingPhase 2
Can oxytocin spray improve sex life in people with AVP deficiency?
This study tests whether a nasal spray containing oxytocin can improve sexual well-being in people with a condition called arginine vasopressin deficiency (a problem with a hormone that controls water balance). Healthy volunteers who have mild sexual issues will also take part for comparison. Participants receive either the oxytocin spray or a placebo and fill out questionnaires about their sex life.

Stem cell therapy to help highly sensitized patients get a kidney transplant
This trial tests if a special stem cell treatment (using your own stem cells) can reset your immune system so you can accept a kidney from a deceased donor, even if you have very high antibody levels that make it hard to find a match. It's for people who have been waiting a long time and haven't had a transplant offer.
BarcelonaAges 18–65 - NCT06809582Recruiting
Body position and kidney stone removal results
This study looks at how your body’s position during surgery affects how well kidney stones are cleared. If you have stones ≤2 cm and are having a scope-based kidney stone removal, you may be able to join.
SamsunAges 18 years+ - NCT06810258Recruiting
Biomarkers before and after kidney transplant
This study will collect blood samples from people having a kidney biopsy or a kidney transplant to look for biomarkers (biological signs) that can give doctors more information about kidney health. Participating may help doctors better understand and treat kidney disease in the future.
