It aims to find out if the drug can help reduce protein in the urine and protect kidney function. To join, you must have had a kidney biopsy showing IgA nephropathy within the past 8 years and have significant protein in your urine despite taking standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07015138Recruiting
Comparing two radiation approaches for prostate cancer that has spread a little
This trial is testing whether giving radiation to all spots of cancer that show up on a PSMA PET scan works better than giving radiation only to the main tumor in the prostate. It is for men whose prostate cancer has spread to a few other places (up to 10 spots).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07016620Recruiting
Laser therapy for BPH after prior treatment
This study tests if laser therapy can help men whose BPH symptoms came back after a previous less invasive procedure. It's a way to treat the blockage without more major surgery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40 years+ - NCT07016867Recruiting
Comparing treatments for varicocele and abnormal sperm shape
This study compares three treatments for men with varicoceles (enlarged veins in the scrotum) and abnormal sperm shape that have made it difficult to have a baby. It will test whether medication alone, surgery to fix the varicocele, or both treatments together work best to improve sperm health and fertility.
Qina, South ValleyAges 20–50 - NCT07017270RecruitingPhase 4
GLP-1 drugs for people with diabetes on dialysis
This study tests if a type 2 diabetes medication called a GLP-1 receptor agonist (like Ozempic) is safe and effective for people on dialysis. It may help manage blood sugar and improve health outcomes for those with kidney failure.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07017842Recruiting
Predicting outcomes for hypospadias surgery
This study follows boys having their first surgery for hypospadias (where the pee hole is not at the tip of the penis) to find out what factors lead to the best results. The goal is to help doctors better predict who will have a smooth recovery.
Doha, Baladiyat ad DawhahAges 1–12 - NCT07017933Recruiting
Kidney support device for heart surgery patients
This trial tests a new device that helps support kidney function during heart surgery. It is for people with mild to moderate kidney problems who are having bypass or valve surgery.
Weston, FloridaAges 22–85 - NCT07018024Recruiting
Study for anti-GBM disease patients
This study looks at people with anti-GBM disease, a rare kidney condition, to learn more about the disease and its treatment. If you were diagnosed between 2010 and 2027, or have stored blood or urine samples from your diagnosis, you might be able to join.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT07018037Recruiting
TTV levels during first immunotherapy for kidney cancer
This study looks at whether a virus called TTV (torque teno virus) in the blood can help predict how well immunotherapy works for advanced kidney cancer. If you have clear cell renal cell carcinoma that has spread and are about to start your first immunotherapy, you may be able to join.
Rome, RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07019220RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoablation for low-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests using chemotherapy directly into the bladder to treat low-grade bladder cancer that has come back, as an alternative to surgery. It may help people with small, low-grade tumors avoid the need for a more invasive procedure.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07019597Recruiting
Nerve stimulation vs. tibial nerve stimulation for overactive bladder
This study compares two types of non-invasive nerve stimulation (NESA and PTNS) to treat overactive bladder symptoms. It's for people whose medications haven't worked well.
ValenciaAges Any age - NCT07020169Recruiting
Using AI 3D kidney models to guide partial nephrectomy
This trial tests if a 3D kidney model made with artificial intelligence helps surgeons remove a kidney tumor (partial nephrectomy) more precisely. It may help preserve healthy kidney tissue while treating the cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07020104Recruiting
Salt and water in chronic kidney disease
This study looks at how salt builds up in the skin of people with chronic kidney disease. It involves different groups testing either sodium intake, sodium excretion, or water intake to see how these affect blood pressure and kidney function.
Amsterdam-Zuidoost, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07020364Recruiting
Study of a single tool for prostate surgery using laser or bipolar energy
This study is testing a new way to perform prostate surgery using a single tool that can use either laser or bipolar energy. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for men with a large prostate (40 cc or more) who need surgery to help with urination problems.
Shibīn al Kawm, MenoufiaAges 50 years+ - NCT07020390Recruiting
How anesthesia affects recovery after prostate surgery
This trial compares different anesthesia methods to see which helps patients recover better after HOLEP surgery for an enlarged prostate. Results could help choose the best anesthesia for future patients.
Melikgazi, KayseriAges 18 years+ - NCT07021157RecruitingPhase 1

Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–45 - NCT07022418RecruitingPhase 2
Formoterol for diabetic kidney disease
This trial tests if a drug called formoterol (usually used for asthma) can help protect the kidneys in people with type 2 diabetes and early-to-moderate kidney disease. It may offer a new way to slow kidney damage.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT07022847Recruiting
Using a finger sensor to predict low blood pressure during dialysis
This trial tests if a non-invasive finger sensor (PVI) can predict when blood pressure drops during dialysis. If successful, it could help prevent dangerous low blood pressure episodes.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07023432RecruitingPhase 2
Belzutifan vs. watchful waiting for slow-growing kidney cancer
This trial compares two approaches for people with slow-growing, metastatic clear cell kidney cancer: taking a daily pill (belzutifan) or monitoring the cancer closely without treatment. The goal is to see if starting treatment early can help control the cancer longer than waiting.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07024680Recruiting
Sunitinib or sorafenib for papillary kidney cancer
