Immunotherapy and targeted drug for advanced collecting duct kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy and a targeted drug (axitinib) for people with advanced collecting duct carcinoma, a rare type of kidney cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06683339Recruiting
Functional capacity in children with chronic kidney disease
This study looks at how well children with chronic kidney disease can do daily activities, like walking, climbing, and playing. It helps doctors understand how kidney disease affects a child's strength and energy.
AnkaraAges 6–18 - NCT07615348RecruitingPhase 2
CD70 imaging to guide treatment breaks in advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether a special type of imaging scan (CD70-targeted PET/CT) can help doctors safely pause treatment in patients with advanced kidney cancer who respond well to standard immunotherapy and targeted therapy. The goal is to reduce unnecessary treatment while keeping the cancer controlled.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07617948RecruitingPhase 2
Aminophylline injection to help place ureteral stent for kidney stone blockage
This trial tests whether injecting aminophylline (a medication that relaxes muscles) into the bladder can help doctors place a stent (small tube) to relieve a blocked ureter caused by a kidney stone. The goal is to improve kidney function when one kidney is blocked and not working.
Banī Suwayf, Beni Suweif GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07614594Recruiting
Urine Test to Detect Bladder and Kidney Cancer
This study tests whether a simple urine test can accurately identify cancer in the bladder, ureters (tubes between kidneys and bladder), or renal pelvis (part of the kidney). You would provide urine samples before your planned surgery, and researchers will compare the urine test results to your actual tissue diagnosis after surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07617909RecruitingPhase 2
L-Citrulline vs. Tamsulosin for Kidney Stone Passage
This study tests whether L-citrulline (a natural amino acid) or tamsulosin (a common blood pressure medication) helps you pass a small kidney stone stuck in your ureter (the tube from kidney to bladder) without surgery. The goal is to compare which medicine works better and is safer.
Banī Suwayf, Beni Suweif GovernorateAges 18–60 - NCT07619651Recruiting
Pain relief methods after hypospadias repair in young boys
This trial compares two different numbing techniques to help manage pain after hypospadias surgery (a procedure to correct the urinary opening in boys). The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for young children.
KayseriAges 6 months–7 years - NCT07614256Recruiting
Imaging and pathology analysis to predict prostate cancer
This study uses advanced imaging scans (MRI and ultrasound) and lab analysis of tissue samples to better predict prostate cancer. If you've had or are planning a prostate biopsy or surgery, your imaging and tissue results could help doctors develop better tools to diagnose prostate cancer.
Liuzhou, GuangxiAges 40–90 - NCT07613632Recruiting
Lung Blood Flow Changes After Vein Graft Repair
This study measures how blood flow and oxygen distribution in your lungs change after a procedure to unclog a dialysis access graft. Researchers use painless electrode patches on your chest to track these changes and better understand how the procedure affects your breathing.
WuhuAges 18 years+ - NCT07614659Recruiting
Heart health screening for adults in Uppsala, Sweden
This study invites residents of Uppsala, Sweden who are turning 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, or 75 to participate in cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health screening. The goal is to help identify heart health risks early so you can take steps to stay healthy.
UppsalaAges 50–75 - NCT07614880Recruiting
Two methods for removing bladder stones in children
This study compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques to remove bladder stones in children ages 2–14. Both approaches aim to break up and remove stones with less recovery time than traditional open surgery.

Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07614477RecruitingPhase 2
Testing EVER001 for kidney protein-loss diseases
This study tests a new drug called EVER001 to see if it can reduce protein loss in urine and improve kidney function in patients with specific kidney diseases (FSGS, MCD, or IgAN). These are autoimmune kidney conditions that cause the kidneys to leak protein into the urine.
