Pain-control injections compared after open kidney surgery
This study compares two types of pain-control injections placed near the back to see which works better after open kidney (nephrectomy) surgery. If you’re having elective open nephrectomy, it may help doctors choose the safest and most effective way to reduce postoperative pain.

Dialysis without heparin: a safety study
This study tests whether dialysis can be done safely without using heparin (a blood thinner) in people with end-stage kidney disease. If successful, it could reduce the need for blood-thinning medications and their associated risks.
Marseille, Bouches du RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT07686380RecruitingPhase 2
IL-15 treatment with or without vaccine for prostate cancer
This trial tests a drug called IL-15 superagonist (with or without a vaccine) for men whose prostate cancer has come back (shown by rising PSA) after they already had targeted radiation therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can lower or control PSA levels.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07685587Recruiting
Comparing two types of ureteral access sheaths for kidney stone surgery
This trial compares two methods used during surgery to treat kidney stones. It looks at whether one type of tube (a fan-shaped access sheath) causes less kidney injury after surgery than the standard tube. This could help patients have a safer recovery.
TekirdağAges 18 years+ - NCT07684339Recruiting
Sperm protein test and fertility treatment
This study looks at a protein in sperm called phospholipase C zeta, which helps eggs develop after fertilization. It aims to see if measuring this protein can predict how well a couple will do with fertility treatments like IVF or ICSI.
Abu DhabiAges Any age - NCT07683975RecruitingPhase 4
Infliximab for kidney injury caused by immunotherapy
This study tests whether infliximab can treat kidney damage caused by immune checkpoint inhibitor cancer therapy. It aims to see if this medication helps patients recover kidney function after injury from their cancer treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07680556Recruiting
Exercise to boost immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding a structured exercise program to standard immunotherapy can help the treatment work better for people with advanced renal cell carcinoma.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07688447Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for small enlarged prostate
This study compares two surgical methods for men with a small enlarged prostate (30 mL or less) who have moderate to severe urinary symptoms. It tests whether adding a small cut in the bladder neck to the standard laser surgery (ThuLEP) works better than ThuLEP alone.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 50–85 - NCT07686016Recruiting
Radiation therapy for prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots
This trial studies the use of radiation to the prostate and to all visible spots where cancer has spread, in men who have up to 10 small areas of spread when first diagnosed. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer.
Zamość, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT07688187RecruitingPhase 1
Theranostic pair for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a radioactive drug and its imaging partner to find and treat kidney cancer that has spread. You get a scan first to see if the cancer absorbs the drug, and if it does, you receive the therapy.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06262048RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing urinary retention after chest surgery
This trial tests whether a medication called tamsulosin (commonly used for prostate problems) can help prevent trouble urinating after chest surgery. You may be eligible if you are at higher risk for this complication and have some urinary symptoms.
London, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT06662071Recruiting
Personalized bladder cancer treatment using organoid drug testing
This trial tests if using a patient's own tumor cells grown in a lab (organoids) can help choose the best chemotherapy to put directly into the bladder. It is for people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who need their first round of this treatment.
Binzhou, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06661174Recruiting
Weight loss surgery study for diabetes with kidney problems
This study tests if bariatric surgery can help people whose diabetes is quickly damaging their kidneys. It may slow down kidney disease and improve health.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06660524RecruitingPhase 4
Calcium-phosphorus therapy for heart valve disease
This trial tests a treatment to lower high calcium and phosphorus levels in your blood, which may slow down calcium buildup in heart valves. It may help people with kidney problems who have valve disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT06663007RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RC48 alone or with envafolimab for advanced prostate cancer with CDK12 changes
This trial tests a drug called RC48, alone or with envafolimab, for men with a specific type of advanced prostate cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03305861Recruiting
GreenLight or ThuLEP surgery for a very enlarged prostate
This trial compares two types of laser surgery for people with a very enlarged prostate causing bothersome urinary symptoms after medicine didn’t help. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer for improving urine flow and quality of life.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 40–80 - NCT05969964Recruiting
Testing whether repeat surgery can be avoided after bladder tumor removal
This trial looks at whether people with early bladder cancer can safely skip a second surgery after their first procedure fully removed the tumor with clear margins. It may help avoid extra procedures and associated discomfort, if your cancer meets the study’s “low-risk” criteria.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 18–80 - NCT07673016Recruiting
Collecting urine to test a new bladder cancer detection method
This study collects urine samples to test UroAmp, a new genetic test that may help detect and monitor bladder cancer. It is for people with bladder cancer or blood in urine who want to help improve cancer detection.
Oceanside, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07673822Enrolling by invitation
Heart, kidney, and metabolic disease study in Korea
This study looks at how common heart, kidney, and metabolic problems are in Korea by using health insurance records. It will help doctors understand how often these conditions happen together.
