Belatacept to protect kidneys in heart transplant patients
This trial studies whether belatacept can be used after a heart transplant to help protect kidney function over time. It focuses on people who already have (or are at risk for) worsening kidney function after transplant, while avoiding those with certain infections or rejection concerns.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07030179Recruiting
Frailty, kidney injury, and blood pressure in non-cardiac surgery
This study looks at whether a patient's level of frailty (overall weakness and health before surgery) affects their risk of acute kidney injury after non-cardiac surgery, and whether blood pressure changes during surgery play a role in that link.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07329140Recruiting
Robotic-assisted urological surgery outcomes study
This study looks at how well robotic-assisted surgery works for urological conditions. It may help doctors understand the benefits and risks of this type of surgery.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05671991RecruitingPhase 4
Empagliflozin study for kidney and belly membrane function
This trial tests whether empagliflozin improves kidney health and the function of the belly’s dialysis membrane in people with end-stage kidney disease who do peritoneal dialysis. It may help by changing how well the peritoneal dialysis system works and how the kidneys perform over time.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07032194Recruiting
Robotic Surgery Study Using the Da Vinci SP System
This study is testing a new robotic surgery system called da Vinci SP for urologic (urinary tract and male reproductive) surgeries. It aims to see how well it works for conditions like prostate, kidney, and bladder problems.
Candiolo, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT06916494RecruitingPhase 1
Rutin plus immunotherapy and chemo before bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of the natural supplement rutin, an immunotherapy (tislelizumab), and two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and cisplatin) before surgery for bladder cancer that didn't respond to initial chemo. It aims to see if this mix can shrink tumors better.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06108492RecruitingPhase 1
A new bladder cancer drug given directly into the bladder
This study tests a new drug, SHR-2005, given directly into the bladder through a catheter. It is for people with intermediate- or high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle, and aims to see if it is safe and how well it works.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06101745RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Trial to see ureters during abdominal or pelvic surgery
This trial tests a dye called Nizaracianine Triflutate that helps surgeons see the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder) during surgery. It aims to make surgery safer by reducing the risk of accidentally injuring the ureters.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06531967Enrolling by invitation
Predicting survival in kidney transplant recipients
This study looks at factors that may help predict how long kidney transplant recipients live. If you are an adult who has received a single kidney transplant (your first one), you may be able to take part.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT07048457RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery for metastatic bladder cancer after initial treatment
This trial tests whether removing the primary bladder tumor and any remaining metastatic spots after initial medication (enfortumab-vedotin) improves outcomes for people with a limited number of metastases (5 or fewer). It is for those whose cancer has responded or stabilized on treatment.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07558226Recruiting
Pain management approaches for robotic kidney removal surgery
This study tests different combinations of pain medications during robotic surgery to remove all or part of a kidney due to cancer. The goal is to find the best way to control pain while keeping you comfortable and allowing you to go home the same day or next day.
Barcelona, BARCELONAAges 18 years+ - NCT06100965Recruiting
Lower dose alemtuzumab for kidney transplant rejection
This trial tests a reduced dose of alemtuzumab, a medicine that calms the immune system, for people whose kidney transplant is being rejected and standard treatments haven't worked or aren't safe.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06094816RecruitingPhase 4
Brain MRI study on salt and blood pressure
This study uses MRI scans to look at how the brain controls salt and blood pressure. It is for people aged 40–60 with normal to slightly high blood pressure, who have no major health conditions.
Newark, DelawareAges 40–60 - NCT07056283Recruiting
Urine markers for low magnesium levels
This study looks for substances in urine that might help doctors understand and diagnose low magnesium levels. If you have had low magnesium in the past, this research could lead to better detection.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT07643220RecruitingPhase 1
Comparing Two Versions of a Hair-Loss Medication
This study tests whether two versions of the same medication (AJU-G721 and G721R)—used to treat hair loss and urinary symptoms—work the same way in the body. Researchers will measure how much medication gets absorbed and how long it stays in your system.
SeoulAges 19–54 - NCT07630155Recruiting
Single-use digital scope for kidney cancer surveillance
This trial tests a new, disposable flexible camera (ureteroscope) to safely check for or monitor upper urinary tract cancer in an office setting without putting you to sleep. The goal is to see if patients can tolerate this procedure comfortably while awake.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07626086Recruiting
Pilates exercises to improve balance and quality of life after kidney transplant
This study tests whether pilates exercises can help kidney transplant patients improve their balance, reduce fatigue, and feel better overall. You would do pilates workouts over several weeks while researchers track how you feel and function.
Damanhur, BeheiraAges 20–50 - NCT07642193Recruiting
Nerve Blocks for Open Kidney Removal Surgery Pain
