Long-term study of TS-172 for high phosphorus on dialysis
This trial tests a new medicine, TS-172, to lower high phosphorus levels in people with kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. It looks at safety and effectiveness over a longer period.
TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT06803602Enrolling by invitation
Magnetic therapy for urine leaks after prostate surgery
This trial tests a non-invasive magnetic treatment (HIFEM) to help men with urine leaks after prostate cancer removal (radical prostatectomy) or HoLEP surgery. The goal is to see if it improves bladder control and quality of life.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT06783855Recruiting
Bladder cancer surgery with a new suspension technique
This trial tests a new surgical technique called uretheroileal suspension during bladder removal surgery for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer or certain high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancers that have not responded to other treatments.
SohagAges 18–80 - NCT06737016RecruitingPhase 3
Testing tamsulosin for children with posterior urethral valve
This trial tests if tamsulosin, a medicine that relaxes muscles in the bladder and prostate, can help children with a condition called posterior urethral valve. It aims to improve how the bladder works and reduce urinary problems.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges Up to 12 years - NCT07438613Recruiting
Ultrasound of neck vein for fluid levels in dialysis
This trial uses ultrasound to check the fluid levels in people on long-term dialysis. It aims to see if this can help doctors better adjust their treatment.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06470191RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
B007 for primary membranous nephropathy
This trial tests a new drug called B007 for people with primary membranous nephropathy, a kidney condition. It aims to see if B007 can help reduce protein in the urine and protect kidney function.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT05912816RecruitingPhase 2
Kidney-protecting treatment for high-risk upper urinary tract cancer
This trial tests whether combining DV with tislelizumab can help protect kidney function in people with high-risk cancer in the upper urinary tract (the renal pelvis or ureter). It may help preserve the kidneys while treating the cancer more effectively.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT06830629RecruitingPhase 2
MZE829 for APOL1 kidney disease
This trial tests an experimental drug called MZE829 for people with kidney disease linked to the APOL1 gene. It aims to see if the drug can help protect kidney function.
Decatur, AlabamaAges 18–68 - NCT05917522RecruitingPhase 2
Biomarker-guided changes to anti-rejection medicines after kidney transplant
This Phase 2 study looks at whether blood test “biomarkers” can guide safely changing anti-rejection medicines after an ABO-compatible kidney transplant. It may help some people reduce certain medicines while keeping the new kidney protected from rejection.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–70 - NCT06697106Recruiting
Can an anti-inflammatory drug prevent urethral stricture recurrence?
This trial tests if taking a COX-2 inhibitor (a type of anti-inflammatory) after a procedure to widen a narrowed urethra can lower the chances of the narrowing coming back. It may help men with a short first-time stricture.
New Valley, New Valley GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07544524Recruiting
Plant-Based Diet for Kidney Disease in Asian Adults
This study tests whether eating mostly plants (with some animal products) can safely help people with moderate kidney disease. Researchers will compare this diet to a standard kidney-friendly diet and see how it affects kidney function and overall health.
SingaporeAges 21–79 - NCT06695429Recruiting

Azacitidine to help prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This early-phase study tests whether azacitidine (a medication that changes how cells read genes) can lower the risk of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery, especially in people already at risk along the chronic kidney disease (CKD) pathway. It aims to protect kidney function during the vulnerable period after surgery.
