Sirolimus for unknown-cause retroperitoneal scarring
This trial tests sirolimus to treat idiopathic (unknown-cause) retroperitoneal fibrosis, a condition where scar tissue forms in the belly behind the kidneys. You may be considered if imaging and blood tests suggest active inflammation, and if you’re able to safely take the study medicine and return for follow-up.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05813730Recruiting

This study measures how quickly creatinine leaves the body in urine during the first days of life. It may help doctors understand normal kidney function in healthy full-term newborns.
Nancy, LorraineAges Up to 3 days - NCT05653232Recruiting
Preventing hepatitis C in kidney transplant recipients using antiviral pills
This study tests antiviral medicine given around the time of a kidney transplant to prevent hepatitis C infection when the donor has hepatitis C. It may help uninfected recipients stay hepatitis C–free after receiving the kidney.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06563765Enrolling by invitation
PET/CT scan for tracking kidney scarring
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan to look at kidney scarring (fibrosis) in people with chronic kidney disease. It could help doctors monitor kidney damage without needing a biopsy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06982729RecruitingPhase 1
Testing YK012 for primary membranous nephropathy
This trial tests a new drug called YK012 for people with primary membranous nephropathy, a kidney disease where protein leaks into the urine. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce protein loss and protect kidney function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07352475Recruiting
AI feedback to improve kidney doctor reasoning
This trial tests if feedback from an AI system can help doctors and medical trainees improve their reasoning when solving kidney-related case scenarios. You participate online and get a chance to practice with real-world cases.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07367750Recruiting
Self-management support program for chronic diseases
This trial tests a program to help people with chronic diseases manage their health better at home. If you live in the community, speak Hebrew, and have a chronic condition like diabetes or heart disease, you may be able to join.
Tel AvivAges 21 years+ - NCT07363681Recruiting
Comparing Two Anesthesia Methods for Urological Surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia during urological surgery: inhaled gases versus a medicine called dexmedetomidine. The goal is to see which one helps you recover more smoothly in the recovery room.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 39–99 - NCT05928364Recruiting
Using cheek lining graft to repair a narrowed upper ureter
This trial studies using a graft taken from the inside of the cheek (buccal mucosal tissue) to repair a blockage in the upper part of the ureter or near the kidney (ureteropelvic junction). It may help people whose narrowing can’t be fixed with a simpler stitch technique.
CairoAges Any age - NCT05713578RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Apantamide plus docetaxel with hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This early-phase trial tests whether adding apantamide to hormone therapy (and possibly adding docetaxel chemotherapy) works better and is safe for men with high-volume spread of prostate cancer. It’s designed for people who have recently started hormone therapy and haven’t shown clear disease worsening yet.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–90 - NCT06876987Recruiting
Mobile app training for peritoneal dialysis patients
This trial tests a mobile app training system to help people on peritoneal dialysis manage their treatment better. If you are doing your own dialysis and are free from current infections, you may be able to join.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT04916613RecruitingPhase 3
ADT plus darolutamide for vulnerable newly metastatic prostate cancer
This trial studies whether adding darolutamide to standard hormone therapy (ADT) helps men with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer who are physically vulnerable. It aims to control the cancer better while checking safety and how well treatment is tolerated in this group.
CharleroiAges 18 years+ - NCT07357259Recruiting
Delayed pelvic scan with PSMA PET/CT for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan with a radioactive tracer (PSMA) to get detailed images of the pelvis in men with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to improve cancer staging and detect recurrence more accurately.
Bologna, ItalyAges 30 years+ - NCT06555211Recruiting
Exercise effects on heart and kidneys in healthy people
This study looks at how isometric exercise (like planks or wall sits) affects your heart and kidneys, using advanced scans (PET/CT and MRI). It's for healthy people to understand the normal effects of exercise on these organs.
Copenhagen, Capital RegionAges 18–60 - NCT05680168Recruiting
Non-drug treatments for urinary leaks after prostate surgery
This trial studies whether applying an external magnetic treatment (magnetic stimulation), doing pelvic floor muscle exercises, or doing both together can reduce urinary leakage after radical prostatectomy. The goal is to find which approach works best for men recovering bladder control after prostate cancer surgery.
DohaAges 18–80 - NCT05682989Recruiting
Testing mesh surgery for pelvic organ prolapse symptoms
This trial studies how well and how safely a synthetic mesh surgery works for people with pelvic organ prolapse, especially when it causes bladder or urinary problems. It may help find better symptom relief, but it also tracks side effects closely.
