Robot-assisted surgery for small kidney tumors without cutting blood supply
This study tests a new, gentle way to remove small kidney tumors using a robot. The goal is to avoid cutting off blood supply to the kidney and to leave healthy tissue behind. It may help you keep more kidney function while still treating the cancer.

Fluciclovine PET scan for prostate cancer recurrence detection
This study tests whether a newer type of imaging scan (called fluciclovine PET) can find where prostate cancer has come back when an earlier scan (PSMA PET) didn't show clear results. The goal is to help doctors better plan treatment for men whose cancer has returned after surgery or radiation.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07570862RecruitingPhase 2
CAR T-Cell Therapy for Hard-to-Treat Lupus Kidney Disease
This trial tests FT819, a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR T cells), for people with lupus nephritis—kidney inflammation caused by lupus—who haven't responded well to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can reduce kidney damage and improve kidney function.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 12–70 - NCT05349227Recruiting
After-cancer digital coaching and wearable tracking outcomes study
This study tests a digital health coaching program (using phone/tablet check-ins and wearable data) to understand health and quality-of-life outcomes after cancer treatment. It may help you learn healthy habits and track progress over time.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06728007Recruiting
Horseshoe kidney study in children
This study follows children with a horseshoe kidney to understand how the condition affects kidney health and to identify any related birth defects. It may help researchers learn more about this condition and improve care.
Bologna, BolognaAges Up to 18 years - NCT07569588Recruiting
Understanding kidney injury recovery after hospitalization
This study helps doctors better assess how well kidneys recover after acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function during hospitalization). You may be asked to participate in interviews, workshops, or have some medical measurements taken to help improve patient care.
Derby, DerbyshireAges 18–85 - NCT07575347Recruiting
Gum Disease and Rare Kidney Disorders Study
This study explores whether people with certain rare kidney diseases or chronic kidney problems have more gum disease than others. Researchers will examine your teeth and gums to understand the connection and help improve care for people with kidney conditions.
BucharestAges 18 years+ - NCT07571551RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and targeted drug treatment for kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy and targeted drugs (called IO/TKI) given before and after surgery for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (a type of kidney cancer). The goal is to shrink tumors and improve survival outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07576205Recruiting
Pelvic Floor Exercises and Nerve Stimulation for Stress Incontinence
This study tests whether combining pelvic floor exercises (called Paula exercises) with gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in your leg can reduce involuntary urine leakage when you cough, sneeze, or exercise. It's designed for women who have had at least two vaginal deliveries and experience stress incontinence.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–45 - NCT07574216Recruiting
DHEA vs Estradiol for Vaginal Symptoms After Menopause
This study compares two vaginal treatments—DHEA and estradiol—to help relieve common menopause symptoms like dryness, itching, or discomfort during sex. You'll use vaginal therapy (applied directly where symptoms occur) and help researchers understand which works better.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 40–90 - NCT07568990Recruiting
Ureteral Access Sheaths for Kidney Stone Removal Surgery
This trial tests different types of tubes (called ureteral access sheaths) used during a minimally invasive kidney stone removal procedure called RIRS. The goal is to see which type works best and causes the least damage to your ureter (the tube that carries urine from your kidney).
Çorum, ÇorumAges 18–75 - NCT07573163RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide after adrenal surgery for mild cortisol condition
This trial tests if tirzepatide can help with weight and blood pressure after you have surgery to remove an adrenal gland that's making too much cortisol. It may be a good option if you still have health issues like high blood pressure or obesity after surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07576283Recruiting
Core exercises for postpartum urinary leakage
This study compares two types of core-strengthening exercises designed to help women with postpartum urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). You'll be assigned to one exercise program and tracked over time to see which works better.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–35 - NCT07569861Recruiting
Testing a blood marker to diagnose excessive thirst and urination
This study helps doctors figure out why some people drink and urinate excessively. Researchers will measure a hormone called copeptin in your blood after giving you fluids, to find out if your excessive drinking and urination is caused by a specific hormone problem (AVP deficiency) or something else.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07570771Recruiting
Dialysis duration effects on bladder function in transplant candidates
This study examines how long you've been on dialysis and how much urine you still produce might affect your bladder's ability to hold and stretch after a kidney transplant. Understanding this helps doctors predict how well your bladder will work after you receive a new kidney.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–65 - NCT07568509RecruitingEarly Phase 1
