Liquid biopsy for kidney cancer: tracking tumor DNA after surgery
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can detect tiny bits of kidney cancer DNA after surgery. If successful, it could help doctors spot a return of cancer earlier than scans alone.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06147076Recruiting
Social support counseling for kidney transplant candidates
This study tests a counseling program that helps kidney transplant candidates and their family or friends work together to improve social support during the transplant process.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06150417RecruitingPhase 2
Study of extra radiation for prostate cancer spread to few spots
This study tests whether adding a type of high-precision radiation (MDRT) to standard hormone therapy works better for men with prostate cancer that has spread to just a few places. It is for patients who are newly diagnosed and on long-term hormone therapy.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06141993Recruiting
Study of blood markers in hormone therapy resistance for prostate cancer
This study is for men with advanced prostate cancer that stopped responding to one hormone therapy and will be starting another. Researchers will collect blood samples to look for markers that might explain why the resistance happens.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05931393RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib retreatment after it helped, in kidney cancer study
This Phase 2 study tests a “next-step” cabozantinib strategy for advanced kidney cancer (RCC) after your cancer previously responded to cabozantinib and then progressed. It aims to see if re-using cabozantinib in a planned sequence can control the cancer again with manageable side effects.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06117059Recruiting
Precision study: 3 session prostate radiation with special guidance
This trial tests a new way to give prostate radiation using just 3 sessions with a special guidance system (RayPilot HypoCath) to target the tumor more accurately and safely.
EdinburghAges Any age - NCT06110130RecruitingPhase 4
Empagliflozin for kidney health in African American veterans
This study is testing whether the drug empagliflozin (Jardiance) can help protect the kidneys of African American veterans who already have some kidney damage but do not have diabetes. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce damage at the cellular level.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 19–90 - NCT06121297RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CABA-201 treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus
This study tests a new treatment called CABA-201 for people with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The treatment aims to reduce disease activity and may help those who haven't responded well to other treatments.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 12–65 - NCT06122584RecruitingPhase 3
PSMA PET scan for high-risk prostate cancer before surgery
This trial tests if a special PET scan using PSMA-1007 can find prostate cancer spread in men who have just been diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer and plan to have surgery. The scan may help doctors better understand the cancer before removing the prostate and lymph nodes.
NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT06126380Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Long-term safety of tegoprubart in kidney transplant patients
This is a long-term follow-up study for people who have already completed a study of the drug tegoprubart after a kidney transplant. It checks how safe and effective the drug is over a longer period.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT03160274Recruiting
Genetic testing for certain adrenal and nerve tumors
This study looks at genetic (DNA) changes in people with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma and related conditions. It may help clarify why these conditions happen and how they run in families.
San Antonio, TexasAges Any age - NCT06112990RecruitingPhase 3
Creatine and exercise to keep muscles strong in prostate cancer
This trial tests if taking creatine plus doing resistance exercises at home can help men with prostate cancer maintain muscle mass and slow cancer growth. You would take creatine or a placebo for 52 weeks and do simple strength exercises twice a week.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06124976RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
A new treatment for low-grade kidney/ureter cancer (ST-02)
This trial tests a new treatment called ST-02 that is given directly into the kidney or ureter to destroy low-grade cancer cells without surgery. It may be an option for people whose cancer has not spread and who are looking for a less invasive treatment.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06111313RecruitingPhase 2
Prostate cancer trial testing targeted radiation with hormone therapy
This trial tests a new radiation approach for prostate cancer that has not spread. It combines different types of radiation with or without hormone therapy to see if this approach works better with fewer side effects.
Miami, FloridaAges 35–85 - NCT06111781RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone Therapy and Radiation for Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer
This study tests whether a combination of short-term hormone therapy (relugolix) and focused radiation (SBRT) can treat a certain type of prostate cancer that is considered favorable but has a higher genetic risk. It aims to find a less intense treatment that still works well.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06109857Recruiting
Bladder Bank: Collecting samples for research
This study collects urine and tissue samples from people being checked for blood in their urine (hematuria) to build a 'bladder bank' for future research. By donating samples, you help scientists learn more about bladder conditions and improve diagnosis.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06106204Enrolling by invitation
Reducing antibiotic use after hospital discharge
This study looks at ways to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use when patients are discharged from the hospital after being treated for a UTI or pneumonia. It aims to help you avoid taking antibiotics longer than needed.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06104618RecruitingPhase 2
Enfortumab vedotin for advanced penile cancer
This trial tests a drug called enfortumab vedotin for people with advanced penile cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06111885RecruitingPhase 2
Study of two diuretics to prevent kidney stones
This trial tests two diuretics (indapamide and chlorthalidone) to see if they reduce the risk of forming new calcium kidney stones. It may help people who have had at least two calcium-based kidney stones in the past 10 years.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT04099992Recruiting
Mindfulness program for people with chronic kidney disease
This trial tests whether a mindfulness-based program can help people living with moderate-to-advanced kidney disease. It may improve how you feel day-to-day and how you manage symptoms, while researchers track kidney-related health and safety.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 40–80 - NCT06005818RecruitingPhase 2

Exercise study in chronic kidney disease with blood-pressure medicines
This study tests how the body’s blood-pressure control responds to exercise in people with chronic kidney disease (and some transplant recipients), compared with people without kidney disease. It may help researchers learn safer ways to exercise and manage blood pressure for people with kidney disease.
