Kidney artery treatment for heart failure with normal heart pumping
This study tests whether renal denervation (a procedure to reduce overactive signals in kidney arteries) can help people who have heart failure but keep a normal pumping ability and still have high blood pressure. It aims to improve blood-pressure control and heart function in this specific group.
Ürümqi, XinjiangAges 21–80 - NCT06867588Recruiting
Adding PSMA PET to MRI for prostate cancer detection
This study is testing whether a special scan called a PSMA PET can help find significant prostate cancer in men who are already scheduled for an MRI-guided biopsy. It aims to see if combining the two scans gives a better picture of which prostate areas need to be biopsied.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06803160Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two surgeries for uterovesical fistula repair
This trial compares two laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery methods to fix a uterovesical fistula, which is an abnormal opening between the bladder and uterus that can happen after C-section or other pelvic surgery. The goal is to see which method works best.

How dialysis affects blood clotting in kidney patients
This trial looks at how hemodialysis changes blood clotting in dialysis patients. It may help doctors understand why some people form clots and how to prevent them.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07233252RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab and chemotherapy for kidney pelvis cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) and a chemotherapy drug (nab-paclitaxel) to treat kidney pelvis cancer while trying to save as much kidney function as possible. It may be an option if you have a small tumor in the kidney pelvis and are scheduled for a laser procedure.
Tianjin, Outside U.S.Ages 18 years+ - NCT06829927Recruiting
E-booklet training for urinary catheter patients
This trial tests whether using an e-booklet on a phone or tablet can help you feel more confident and comfortable while you have a urinary catheter. It is for urology patients who have a short-term catheter and can use basic technology.
Tokat/Merkez, Tokat ProvinceAges 18–75 - NCT07097935RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of HS-10516 combo therapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new combination therapy for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has progressed after at least one prior treatment. It aims to see if adding HS-10516 to standard care can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07096843RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Budoprutug for Primary Membranous Nephropathy
This trial tests an investigational drug called budoprutug for people with primary membranous nephropathy, a kidney condition. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce protein in the urine and help protect kidney function.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–75 - NCT07093801Recruiting
Study of lutetium-177-PSMA-617 for advanced prostate cancer
This study is observing how well the treatment lutetium-177-PSMA-617 works in people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It aims to gather real-world information about its effectiveness and safety.
Alessandria, ALAges 18–99 - NCT07202845Recruiting
Predicting chemo response in bladder cancer with MRI
This trial uses special MRI scans to see how well bladder cancer responds to chemotherapy before surgery. It may help doctors know early if the treatment is working.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT07203287RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing muscle relaxants in kidney disease patients during surgery
This trial compares two muscle relaxants, rocuronium and cisatracurium, to see which causes fewer complications in people with chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis) who need general anesthesia. If you have kidney disease and are having surgery that requires a breathing tube, this study may help determine the safer drug for you.
