Fingolimod to protect kidney function after kidney transplant
This trial tests whether fingolimod can reduce kidney scarring and preserve kidney function after a new kidney transplant. It focuses on people who are in the early period after transplant who may be at risk for scarring in the kidney.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT05297734Recruiting
Study compares two cancer support care plans
This study tests two different ways of providing supportive care for adults with cancer to see which one works better. It may help improve comfort, support, and care coordination during treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05295407Recruiting
Testing a risk assessment to predict prostate cancer on biopsy
This trial studies whether a risk assessment can better predict who actually has prostate cancer based on information collected around the biopsy. It may help doctors decide what biopsy findings mean for people with certain PSA (a blood test) results.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 40–69 - NCT05279742Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug to boost a hormone system in HFpEF
This early-phase trial tests a treatment that aims to improve the “natriuretic peptide” hormone system in people with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping strength). It may help reduce symptoms and improve heart and fluid pressure behavior, especially in certain related conditions like kidney disease.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05269381RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer vaccine with pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your tumor's unique markers, combined with the drug pembrolizumab, to help your immune system fight cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried standard treatments.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT05304858Recruiting
Study of prostate cancer spread using biopsy and lab tests

New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05287945RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Orellanine for kidney cancer patients on dialysis
This early-stage study tests orellanine to treat advanced kidney cancer that has spread (metastatic clear-cell or papillary type). It may help by shrinking or controlling cancer, and by seeing whether the treatment is safe and tolerable in people already on chronic dialysis.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05283330RecruitingPhase 1
Tested 212Pb imaging drug for certain advanced GRPR tumors
This early-phase study tests how safe and tolerable an experimental radiation drug is for adults with certain advanced or metastatic cancers that show a target called GRPR. Doctors will also use special scans to confirm the tumor has the target so the treatment can be delivered to the right place.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05267626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AU-007 antibody for hard-to-remove or spread skin and lung cancers
This trial tests AU-007, an antibody that targets the IL-2 pathway, in people with certain advanced skin (melanoma) or lung (NSCLC) cancers. It’s designed for cancers that have already progressed after prior immune and other treatments, to see if AU-007 can shrink tumors or control disease.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05264337Recruiting
Study for swelling after prostate or other urinary surgery
This study looks at swelling caused by lymph fluid buildup after urinary (urologic) surgery that removes lymph nodes. If you’re scheduled for or recently had this type of surgery, this trial may help researchers understand how to prevent or treat this swelling.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT02841553Recruiting
Online registry for Wolfram syndrome worldwide
This study builds an international online registry to learn how Wolfram syndrome (and related WFS1 conditions) changes over time. It may help researchers understand the disease course and improve future care by collecting health and family history data.
St Louis, MissouriAges birth+ - NCT03492424Recruiting
Focal prostate cancer treatment study
This study looks at outcomes after “focal therapy,” a type of treatment that targets only part of the prostate, for people with newly diagnosed or returning prostate cancer. It may help researchers understand how well this targeted approach works and for whom.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04645251Recruiting
Join a UK registry for polycystic liver disease
This registry is for people with polycystic liver disease who have a high number of liver cysts. It helps collect information about your condition to better understand and support future care.
NijmegenAges 18 years+ - NCT05201469RecruitingPhase 2
VIB4920 for lupus kidney inflammation not responding well enough
This Phase 2 study tests VIB4920 to treat active lupus nephritis, a type of kidney disease caused by lupus. It may help reduce kidney inflammation and improve kidney outcomes in people with active disease despite standard care.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05213572Recruiting
Deep health check study for adults with sickle cell disease
This study looks at how major organs like the brain, kidneys, heart, and liver are affected in adults with sickle cell disease, whether they've had a bone marrow transplant or gene therapy, or are continuing regular treatment. You'll get detailed tests that can help doctors understand the disease better, which may lead to improved care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05200923Recruiting
Testing a pelvic nerve device study for bladder and bowel leaks
This study checks how well an implanted pelvic nerve system works for people with bladder overactivity, non-obstructive urinary retention, or fecal incontinence. You may need to keep your current medications steady and track symptoms closely with diaries before and during evaluation.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05248659Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Sibeprenlimab for IgA kidney disease after prior study
This trial studies sibeprenlimab to see if it can improve IgA nephropathy, a kidney inflammation condition. You may be able to join if you finished a previous related Otsuka study without major safety problems and your doctor thinks you could benefit.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05219110Recruiting
More fluids for children sick with toxin E. coli
This study looks at whether giving extra (hyper) fluids early helps children with a high-risk E. coli stomach infection. The goal is to improve outcomes by supporting the kidneys during the illness.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 9 months–21 years - NCT05242315RecruitingPhase 4
Long-acting tacrolimus after liver transplant
This trial studies whether taking an extended-release form of tacrolimus (a medicine to prevent transplant rejection) after a liver transplant works well for people who are followed at the University of Alberta. It may help simplify dosing and monitor safety and effectiveness after transplant.
