Capturing tumor cells in metastatic breast or prostate cancer
This study compares different methods of capturing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood samples in patients with metastatic breast or prostate cancer. It aims to improve how we detect and monitor cancer cells that have spread, which could help guide future treatment decisions.

CAR-T cell therapy for tough lupus kidney disease in children
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T cells) for children whose lupus kidney disease (lupus nephritis) has not responded to standard treatments. The CAR-T cells are designed to target and remove certain immune cells that are attacking the kidneys, with the goal of stopping the disease.

Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06906874RecruitingPhase 2
Activated charcoal for kidney disease patients on dialysis
This trial tests if taking activated charcoal by mouth can help people with advanced kidney disease who are already on dialysis. It may improve how the body handles certain waste products and reduce the need for other medicines.
Al Mansurah, Please SelectAges 18 years+ - 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.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18–85 - NCT06907446Recruiting
New SUREcore needle vs standard care for prostate biopsy
This trial compares a new biopsy needle called SUREcore to the standard needle used during prostate biopsies. It aims to see if the SUREcore needle works better or causes less discomfort.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06907667Recruiting
Do timing of flu shot affect protection in kidney failure?
This study looks at whether getting a flu shot at a different time of day affects how well it works in people with chronic kidney failure, including those on dialysis or with a kidney transplant. Researchers want to see if timing can improve the body's immune response to the vaccine.
Nice, Alpes-MaritimesAges 18–100 - NCT06908694RecruitingPhase 4
GLP-1 drugs for weight management in prostate cancer
This trial tests if a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a type of diabetes drug that helps with weight loss) can help men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy (ADT) and have a high body mass index (BMI). It aims to see if it improves their health and outcomes.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06908746Recruiting
Citrate Anticoagulation in Dialysis for Liver and Kidney Failure
This trial looks at whether a blood thinner called citrate is safe and effective in patients who have both kidney and liver failure while on continuous dialysis in the ICU. It may help guide treatment for people with serious organ problems.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06908902Recruiting
Robot-assisted kidney surgery for early-stage tumors without clamping
This study tests a robot-assisted surgery to remove part of the kidney for T1 tumors without clamping the main artery, which may help preserve kidney function. It may be an option for patients who are healthy enough for major surgery and have a small, early-stage kidney tumor.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06910878Recruiting
Studying resistant bacteria in urine infections
This study looks at urine infections caused by certain resistant bacteria. If you had a UTI treated by your family doctor between June and December 2024, your doctor may help us learn more about these infections and how to treat them better.
StrasbourgAges 18 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+ - NCT06914544Recruiting
Hypofractionated radiosurgery for localized prostate cancer
This trial tests a short course of high-dose radiation therapy (radiosurgery) for prostate cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to treat the cancer with fewer sessions while keeping side effects low.
Frankfurt am Main, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT06916624Recruiting
Study of a new PET tracer for kidney cancer imaging
This trial is testing a new imaging agent called 18F-NY104 to see if it can help doctors see kidney cancer tumors on a PET/CT scan. If you have known or suspected kidney cancer that has spread or come back, this study may help find out if the tracer works for you.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06917053Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict kidney injury after trauma
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with contrast agent can help predict if you might develop acute kidney injury after a serious trauma. It focuses on patients in the ICU who have had a major injury and received blood products.
LondonAges 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+ - NCT06917859RecruitingPhase 1
Steroid to protect kidneys during heart surgery
