Recovery after kidney cancer surgery done as day surgery
This study looks at how people recover after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery for kidney cancer when they go home the same day. It will help doctors understand if this approach is safe and improves recovery.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06537960Recruiting
Later scan images to better see bladder cancer spread
This trial tests whether taking extra, later images during your standard FDG PET-CT scan can give doctors a better view of how far your muscle-invasive bladder cancer has spread. You may be eligible if you are 18 or older, have confirmed muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and are already getting this type of scan.

Prostate health study for Black men in Jacksonville
This study from Mayo Clinic aims to improve prostate health and reduce cancer disparities in Black men by building community partnerships in Jacksonville, Florida. It involves community leaders, health workers, and Black adults sharing their experiences and insights.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 21–80 - NCT06538961Recruiting
Immune registry for BK virus in kidney transplant patients
This study is creating a registry to learn how the immune system responds to BK virus in people who have recently received a kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Researchers hope this information will help improve treatment for BK virus infections.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06537453Recruiting
Virtual home hospital with remote monitoring for kidney injury recovery
This trial tests a virtual home hospital program that lets you go home early with remote monitoring, if you have a new kidney injury and meet other criteria. The goal is to reduce time in the hospital and help you recover safely at home.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06535945RecruitingPhase 4
Albumin to protect kidney function after liver transplant
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a protein in your blood) after a liver transplant can help prevent or reduce kidney damage. It is for adults receiving their first liver-only transplant from a deceased donor.
Chambray-lès-ToursAges 18 years+ - NCT06547398Recruiting
Adaptive radiation therapy for prostate cancer
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy for prostate cancer that adjusts to small changes in your body. It aims to better target the cancer while reducing side effects.
St Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06411353Recruiting
Blood flow and sounds in new dialysis access
This study looks at blood flow and sounds in new arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) during dialysis. If you need a new AVF in your forearm, this trial may help doctors understand how to make your fistula work better.
Bergamo, BergamoAges 18–90 - NCT06334692Recruiting
Autoantibody study in nephrotic syndrome
This study looks for specific proteins (autoantibodies) in your blood that may be linked to certain kidney diseases. It aims to better understand the immune system's role in minimal change disease and FSGS, which could lead to better treatments.
Ranica, BGAges 18 years+ - NCT06517901Recruiting
Comparing two MRI-guided biopsy methods for prostate cancer
This trial compares two ways to use MRI images during a prostate biopsy to see which finds cancer better. It looks at 'fusion' biopsy (where a computer combines MRI with live ultrasound) versus 'cognitive' biopsy (where the doctor mentally matches the MRI to the ultrasound).
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06531642RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Early acid-reducing drug for kidney injury after severe bleeding
This study tests whether giving a common acid-reducing medication (a proton pump inhibitor, or PPI) early after severe bleeding from trauma can help protect the kidneys from injury. It compares this early treatment to usual care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06526299RecruitingPhase 2
Higher dose of targeted radiation for prostate cancer with low PSMA levels
This trial tests a higher dose of a radioactive drug (177Lu-PSMA-617) for men whose prostate cancer has spread and does not produce much of a protein called PSMA on scans. The goal is to see if a stronger dose can work better than the standard dose.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06527768Recruiting
Helping with metabolic syndrome and kidney disease through lifestyle changes
This study tests a program that uses WeChat to help people with metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease make healthy lifestyle changes. They want to see if this support can improve health and slow down kidney problems.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06526741Recruiting
Alport Syndrome Patient Registry
This registry collects health information from people with Alport syndrome to help researchers better understand the condition and improve future treatments.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges birth+ - NCT06518668Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
NKX019 cell therapy for lupus
This study tests a new therapy called NKX019, which uses specially engineered natural killer cells to target a protein on lupus cells. It is for people with moderate to severe lupus that has not responded to standard treatments, especially those with active kidney inflammation.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT06525831Recruiting
3D printing kidney models for surgery planning
This trial uses MRI scans to create 3D printed models of kidneys with tumors. It aims to help surgeons plan operations. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for kidney tumor removal.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06521801Recruiting
The Heart-Kidney Health Registry Study
This is an observational registry that collects information from people with kidney disease who are seen by the kidney team at Royal London Hospital. It helps researchers study heart and kidney health over time without needing extra tests or visits.
LondonAges 16 years+ - NCT06528405RecruitingPhase 2
SGLT2 inhibitor study for acute kidney disease patients
This study tests whether SGLT2 inhibitors (a type of diabetes drug that also helps kidneys) can help patients with acute kidney disease. It may be an option if you have diabetes or chronic kidney disease along with acute kidney problems.
TaipeiAges 18–80 - NCT06523634Recruiting
SBRT for rising PSA after prostate removal
This trial tests a precise type of radiation (called SBRT) to the prostate bed for men whose PSA starts rising after prostate removal surgery. It aims to see if this targeted approach can effectively treat the recurrence without needing long-term hormone therapy.

Personalized cancer vaccine for solid tumors with residual disease
This trial tests a personalized cancer vaccine designed to help your immune system fight any remaining cancer cells after surgery. It is for people with certain solid tumors—like bladder, stomach, melanoma, or lung cancer—that show signs of disease through a blood test.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06525571RecruitingPhase 3
Blue light surgery for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests if using blue light during surgery helps remove all cancer in people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. It may lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
