Ultrasound-guided fluid removal for kidney recovery in heart-kidney syndrome
This study tests if using ultrasound scans to guide fluid removal helps protect kidney function in people with cardiorenal syndrome type 1, where heart failure suddenly worsens kidney function.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06769191RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CD7 car-t, stem cell transplant, and kidney transplant for SIOD
This trial tests a sequence of treatments for SIOD (a genetic condition causing immune and kidney problems). First, you receive CD7 car-t cells, then a stem cell transplant from a family donor, followed by a kidney transplant from the same donor. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can help your body accept the new kidney.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Any age - NCT06725732RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nebulized tranexamic acid for reducing bleeding during sinus surgery
This early-phase study tests if giving tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) through a mist into the nose and sinuses during sinus surgery can reduce bleeding. It is designed for adults who are otherwise healthy and undergoing a common type of sinus surgery called functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
AsyutAges 18–65 - NCT06764472Recruiting
Long-term outcomes of children with urinary tract dilation
This study looks back at children who were diagnosed with widened or enlarged parts of the urinary tract before or after birth. It aims to understand their long-term health and follow-up. If your child had this condition and had at least two ultrasound check-ups after birth, they may be included.
BolognaAges Up to 16 years - NCT06781476Recruiting
Urine markers in very premature babies
This study will collect urine from very premature or very low birth weight babies to look for patterns in natural chemicals (biomarkers). The goal is to find early clues about their health that could lead to better care.
Bologna, BolognaAges Any age - NCT06737393Recruiting
Bladder filling after same-day hysterectomy
This trial studies the best way to fill the bladder after a laparoscopic hysterectomy done as day surgery, to see if it affects how soon you can go home.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–80 - NCT06770530RecruitingPhase 4
Fungal infection prevention after bladder removal surgery
This trial tests if giving a medicine called Fluconazole can prevent fungal infections after bladder removal surgery (cystectomy) where a piece of the small intestine is used to create a new way for urine to leave the body (ileal conduit).
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06794229RecruitingPhase 2
Zanzalintinib plus nivolumab before surgery for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests two drugs—zanzalintinib and nivolumab—given before surgery to shrink advanced or hard-to-remove kidney tumors. The goal is to make the tumor easier to remove and improve outcomes.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06626022RecruitingPhase 3
Micro-ultrasound vs MRI for prostate cancer screening
This trial compares two imaging methods, high-resolution micro-ultrasound and MRI, to see which is better at finding prostate cancer in men who have not had a biopsy before. If you are between 50 and 70 with an elevated PSA or abnormal exam, you may be able to join.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50–70 - NCT06655857Recruiting
Kidney transplant empowerment program
This study tests a program to help people with advanced kidney disease learn about and prepare for a kidney transplant. It is for patients who get kidney care at certain hospitals in New York and speak English or Spanish.
New York, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT06647017Recruiting
Nerve stimulation to reduce blood loss during dialysis graft placement
This trial tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation device placed behind the ear can lower blood loss during surgery to place a dialysis graft (a tube for dialysis treatment). It may help make the procedure safer.
Watkinsville, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT06668493RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A virus-based treatment for low-grade upper tract bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, nadofaragene firadenovec, which uses a harmless virus to deliver a signal that helps your immune system fight low-grade cancer in the upper part of the urinary tract (the kidney area). It's given directly into the kidney through a small tube, and may avoid more invasive surgery.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06584695Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain after open kidney surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after open kidney cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of the two blocks before your surgery to help manage pain afterwards.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06584825Recruiting
Better vital sign monitoring after major surgery
This trial tests if using a home monitoring device after major surgery can help catch problems early. You or your caregiver would take your vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) daily and share them with your care team.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06548529Recruiting
HER2 PET/CT scan to predict treatment response in bladder cancer
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan to see if your bladder cancer has HER2 proteins, which can help predict how well you will respond to a targeted antibody-drug conjugate treatment. It is for people with advanced bladder cancer who have already tried certain standard therapies.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06565286Recruiting
Comparing Two Surgical Methods for Severe Hypospadias
This trial compares two surgical techniques (a 'graft' vs. a 'flap') to repair a severe type of hypospadias in boys. The goal is to find which method works better to create a normal-looking and functioning penis.
SohagAges 6 months+ - NCT06584773RecruitingPhase 4
Stronger immune therapy for high-antibody kidney transplant patients
This trial is testing a stronger combination of four immune-suppressing medicines (including mTOR inhibitors) to help prevent rejection in kidney transplant patients who have a high level of antibodies. It aims to see if this approach works better than standard care for these 'sensitized' patients.
São PauloAges 18–60 - NCT06539442Recruiting
Study of robotic surgery for children with urology needs
This trial tests the Versius robotic system for minimally invasive urology surgery in children under 18. It may help young patients have a less invasive procedure with a smaller incision and faster recovery.
LondonAges birth–17 years - NCT06529107Recruiting
Improving catheter use after cervical cancer surgery
This study looks at how people use intermittent catheterization after a radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. It aims to find the best way to manage bladder care and improve recovery.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06419348RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Imaging scan for PSMA in prostate cancer
This trial uses a special imaging scan (SPECT) to look for a protein called PSMA on prostate cancer cells. The goal is to see how well the imaging agent (99mTc-QULIC-5-P1) finds cancer, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06378645RecruitingPhase 4
Propofol vs. sevoflurane for erections during urologic surgery
This study compares two common anesthesia drugs, propofol and sevoflurane, to see which one helps prevent unwanted erections during urologic surgery. It is designed for people having transurethral procedures (like for an enlarged prostate or bladder tumor) who have at least mild erectile function.
ZurichAges 18–75 - NCT06454396Recruiting
Treating blocked dialysis fistulas from inside the blood vessel
This trial tests a new way to reopen blocked or narrowed fistulas (the blood vessels used for dialysis) in people on hemodialysis. The goal is to see how well it works and if it saves money compared to other treatments.
