New radioactive therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This is an early-stage trial testing a new radioactive treatment (161Tb-PSMA) for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. The treatment targets cancer cells using a radioactive metal that may be more effective than older similar treatments.

Optimizing fluid balance with bioelectrical impedance during dialysis in ICU
This trial tests a method to better manage fluid levels in critically ill patients who are receiving a type of dialysis (CVVH) for kidney failure. It uses a device (bioelectrical impedance) to measure fluid in the body, which may help doctors give the right amount of fluids more safely.

Betadine vs sterile water for catheter cleaning
This trial compares using Betadine (an iodine-based antiseptic) versus sterile water to clean the area before a catheter is placed in the doctor's office. The goal is to see which method better prevents infections during the procedure.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT07043062Recruiting
Comparing keyhole vs. open surgery for bladder fistula repair
This study compares two surgical methods—laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery versus open surgery—to repair a fistula (an abnormal connection) between the bladder and the vagina or uterus in women. It aims to find which approach is safer and more effective.

East Hanover, New JerseyAges 18–100 - NCT06863844Recruiting
DNA markers for predicting outcomes in urothelial cancer
This trial studies DNA markers in tumor tissue or blood samples to see if they can predict how well treatments work or how the cancer behaves. It may help doctors better understand and manage urothelial cancer in the future.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07017868Recruiting
Uric acid and other blood markers in lupus kidney disease
This study looks at whether certain substances in the blood, such as uric acid, homocysteine, and interleukin-17, are higher in people with lupus-related kidney disease compared to healthy individuals. It aims to find new ways to monitor or understand the condition better.
SohagAges 18 years+ - NCT07018622RecruitingPhase 2
Protecting kidneys from platinum chemotherapy damage
This trial tests a way to protect your kidneys while you receive platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin) for a solid tumor. It may help reduce the risk of kidney damage so you can complete your treatment more safely.
México, TlalpanAges 18 years+ - NCT07016841Recruiting
Adding a filter to dialysis to clean your blood better
This study tests whether adding a special filter (hemoperfusion) to your regular hemodialysis can better remove waste products that build up in the blood. It might help people on dialysis feel better and have fewer complications.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07014111Recruiting
Fight Fatigue: muscle relaxation and walking for dialysis patients
This study tests a simple program that combines muscle relaxation exercises and walking to help reduce fatigue in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. You'll receive text messages to guide you and track your progress.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07008495Recruiting
Fertility surgery for men with varicocele and no sperm in ejaculate
This trial tests if fixing a varicocele (an enlarged vein in the scrotum) helps men who have no sperm in their ejaculate. The goal is to see if sperm can then be retrieved directly from the testicle for use in fertility treatments.
Qina, South ValleyAges 20–60 - NCT07006532Recruiting
Tocilizumab for chronic active antibody-mediated rejection
This trial tests whether the drug tocilizumab can help treat chronic active antibody-mediated rejection after a kidney transplant. It is for people whose kidney function is still fairly good and who have certain findings on biopsy.
TehranAges 18 years+ - NCT07741279Recruiting
Enarodustat for anemia in chronic kidney disease patients
This study tests a daily pill that helps people with chronic kidney disease and anemia make more red blood cells, which may reduce the need for other anemia treatments. It is for patients who are not on dialysis and do not plan to start dialysis or have a kidney transplant within the next six months.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06987552Recruiting
Single-Incision Robotic Surgery for Upper Urinary Tract Cancer
This study tests a new, less invasive robotic surgery using a single small incision to remove the kidney and the upper part of the ureter (the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder) in people with upper tract urothelial cancer. It may offer a faster recovery with fewer side effects compared to traditional surgery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07689578RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a new immunotherapy for chronic kidney transplant rejection
This study tests a new treatment called BiTE (a type of immunotherapy that helps your immune cells attack harmful antibodies) for people whose transplanted kidney is being damaged by chronic active antibody-mediated rejection. The goal is to see if it can safely slow or stop this damage.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06977906Recruiting
Bladder suspension in robotic prostate surgery for advanced cancer
This trial tests a new surgical technique (bladder suspension) during robotic prostate removal for men with locally advanced prostate cancer. It aims to see if this approach improves early recovery and outcomes.
Fuzhou, FujianAges Any age - NCT06872983Recruiting
Synthetic glue for mesh fixation in laparoscopic prolapse repair
This trial compares using synthetic glue to hold the mesh in place during a laparoscopic procedure to repair pelvic organ prolapse. The surgery also includes a partial hysterectomy, leaving the cervix.
Brno, Czech RepublicAges 18–75 - NCT06983730RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Vitamin B3 and Kidney Response to Exercise in Heat
This study tests how your kidneys respond to exercise in the heat, and whether taking vitamin B3 (niacin) changes that response. It might help protect the kidneys of people who work or exercise in hot conditions.
