Drug test for IgA? No—anti-PLA2R positive immune kidney disease
This Phase 2 trial studies AP1189 in people with a specific immune-related kidney disease called iMN and very high urine protein. It aims to see whether the drug is safe and tolerable and if it can reduce protein in the urine.
AarhusAges 18–85 - NCT05428826RecruitingPhase 4
Stopping steroids early if PET/CT looks negative
This study tests whether some people with idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis can stop prednisone earlier when a PET/CT scan shows no concerning activity. It may reduce steroid side effects while keeping the disease under control.
Agen, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06729346Recruiting
Finding hidden tumors during bladder cancer surgery
This study tests if a special light (NBI) can find bladder tumors that standard white light misses during surgery. It may help ensure more complete tumor removal.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–75 - NCT07629505Recruiting
CoQ10 supplement for chronic pelvic pain in men
This trial tests whether a CoQ10 supplement (Ralivia) can reduce chronic pelvic or perineal pain lasting at least 3 months. The study aims to see if this supplement helps relieve symptoms when other treatments haven't fully worked.
ThessalonikiAges 18–50 - NCT05913180RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin C to prevent urine infections after gynecologic surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking vitamin C can lower the chance of getting a urinary tract infection (UTI) after planned gynecologic surgery. It may help people who want to reduce post-surgery infection risk.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT07050277RecruitingPhase 3
Morphine for bladder issues after knee replacement
This study tests whether adding morphine to spinal anesthesia can reduce trouble urinating after a second knee replacement surgery. It may help you avoid needing a catheter after surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 21 years+ - NCT06250582Recruiting
Can Virtual Reality Reduce Symptoms During Dialysis?
This study tests whether using virtual reality can help reduce symptoms (like fatigue, pain, or anxiety) during dialysis. You would use a VR headset during your regular dialysis sessions and report how you feel.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06288152Recruiting
Testing a protective solution for donated kidneys
This study tests a special solution given to the donor kidney during storage and transport, which may help protect the kidney before transplant. It is for adults with kidney failure receiving a deceased donor kidney.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06257017RecruitingPhase 2
Using DNA tests to guide chemotherapy after bladder cancer surgery
This trial checks if a DNA blood test can help decide who needs extra chemo after bladder or upper urinary tract cancer surgery. It tests whether watching for cancer DNA in the blood can match patients to the right treatment.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–70 - NCT07073508Recruiting
Ultrasound of kidney arteries in ICU patients with kidney injury
This study uses an ultrasound test to check the blood flow to your kidneys soon after you enter the ICU. It aims to see if this test can help doctors better understand and treat acute kidney injury in critically ill patients.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07199465RecruitingPhase 1
Letermovir for children after a kidney transplant
This study tests an oral antiviral medication called letermovir to see if it safely prevents CMV (a common virus) in children who have recently had a kidney transplant. It's for children ages typically 4 weeks to about a year post-transplant, with stable kidney function and no current CMV infection.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 17 years - NCT06268184Recruiting
Omega-3 for stress and nutrition in kids on dialysis
This study tests whether taking omega-3 supplements (a type of healthy fat) can help reduce stress on the body and improve nutrition in children who are on regular hemodialysis. If your child fits the age and dialysis requirements and has not taken similar supplements recently, they may be able to join.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges 6–18 - NCT06287970Recruiting
Testing a nerve stimulation device for chronic pelvic pain
This trial tests if a non-invasive nerve stimulation device (TaVNS) can reduce pain, urinary symptoms, and mood issues in men with moderate to severe chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). It may offer a new drug-free option for symptom relief.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–50 - NCT05613738Recruiting
Test drug for advanced prostate cancer with high PSMA scans
This trial studies whether a PSMA-targeted treatment using 177Lu can help men with prostate cancer that has spread and is growing despite hormone treatment. It may help if your scan shows high PSMA in the tumor and your blood counts and organ function are adequate.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05418647Recruiting
Changing dialysis salt level to improve recovery time
This trial compares two different salt (sodium) levels in the dialysis fluid to see which one helps people recover better after hemodialysis. If you meet the study’s dialysis schedule and health requirements, your team may assign you to one of the sodium levels during treatments.
