Combination drug treatment before bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests two drugs (RC48 and toripalimab) given before bladder cancer surgery for patients who cannot take the standard chemotherapy due to kidney problems or other reasons. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.

Vaccine plus standard therapy for prostate cancer before surgery
This trial tests an experimental vaccine (2141-V11) combined with standard hormone therapy and an anti-androgen drug before prostate removal surgery. It aims to see if the combination can help the immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06349642Recruiting
Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06351488Recruiting
Detecting kidney DNA to spot organ rejection early
This study looks for pieces of kidney DNA in the blood of people who have a kidney transplant and need a biopsy. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors know if the kidney is being rejected without needing a biopsy.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06349668RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing spinal morphine and IV lidocaine for robotic kidney surgery
This trial compares two ways to manage pain during robotic-assisted kidney or ureter surgery: a spinal injection of morphine or an intravenous infusion of lidocaine. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
KalmarAges 18 years+ - NCT04655066Recruiting
Questionnaire study for pelvic floor symptoms during cancer treatment
This study asks people with breast or gynecologic cancer who are receiving cancer treatment to complete a validated questionnaire about how their pelvic floor feels. The goal is to better understand pelvic floor function and symptoms during systemic (whole-body) cancer therapy, which may help future care.
WiesbadenAges 18 years+ - NCT06320509Recruiting
Using urine oxygen to predict kidney recovery in shock
This study is testing if measuring oxygen levels in urine can help predict when kidney injury starts or gets better in ICU patients with shock. It aims to guide treatment earlier and avoid kidney damage.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06324045Recruiting
Deprescribing medicines for kidney disease patients
This study looks at whether carefully reducing or stopping some medicines (deprescribing) can help people with advanced kidney disease. The goal is to improve quality of life and avoid side effects from unnecessary medications.
DohaAges 18 years+ - NCT06332755RecruitingPhase 1
Study of LB-LR1109 alone and with atezolizumab for cancer
This trial tests a new drug called LB-LR1109, alone or with atezolizumab, for adults with certain advanced solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer. It's for people whose cancer has worsened after standard treatments or who cannot have those treatments.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06329310Recruiting
Study of a new dialysis graft for kidney failure patients
This trial tests a new type of dialysis access graft (called aXess-E) for people with kidney failure who need a graft in their arm. It aims to see if the graft works well for long-term dialysis.
LisbonAges 18 years+ - NCT06319820RecruitingPhase 3
TAR-210 vs standard bladder chemo for FGFR-mutated bladder cancer
This trial compares a new drug, TAR-210, which is placed directly into the bladder, against standard chemotherapy given through a catheter. It is for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that has a change in the FGFR gene.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT04500665RecruitingPhase 2
Colchicine for kidney-related heart inflammation
This Phase 2 trial tests whether colchicine can reduce inflammation and improve heart function in people with kidney disease and a certain type of heart problem. If you qualify, you’ll be closely monitored for side effects and lab changes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–80 - NCT06326905Recruiting
Transplant help for kidney waitlist patients with barriers
This study helps people on the deceased donor kidney waitlist who have had setbacks like health issues, lack of support, or low income. It offers extra support to help you get ready for transplant.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06323109Recruiting
MRI scan to study prostate and urinary symptoms
This study uses MRI scans to look at the prostate and bladder in people with or without lower urinary tract symptoms (like trouble peeing). The goal is to see if MRI can help doctors better understand these symptoms and guide treatment.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–80 - NCT06330480Enrolling by invitation
Screening for heart rhythm and kidney disease at home
This study is testing whether screening people at home can catch early signs of an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) and kidney disease. If you're in the right age group and live in one of the selected regions, you could join and help researchers learn more about spotting these conditions early.
AmsterdamAges 50–75 - NCT06327750Recruiting
Dialysis type, blood flow, and salt storage in the body
This study looks at how different types of dialysis affect salt stored in your tissues and your small blood vessels. It may help doctors understand how to improve dialysis treatments.
Amstelveen, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06337838RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing blood loss during surgery in kidney patients
This trial tests two medications, tranexamic acid and desmopressin, to see if they can reduce bleeding during surgery in people with severe kidney disease or on dialysis. The results may help make surgery safer for you.

MRI vs. TURBT for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This study compares two ways to check if bladder cancer has grown into the muscle layer: an MRI scan (mpMRI) versus a standard surgery called TURBT (where a small tool removes a sample of the tumor). The goal is to see if the MRI can be as accurate as the surgery, so future patients might avoid an extra procedure.
