Study of MRT-2359 with apalutamide for prostate cancer
This trial tests a new oral drug, MRT-2359, combined with apalutamide (a standard hormone therapy) in men with a specific type of prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone treatment. The goal is to see if the combination can slow or stop the cancer's growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07743749Recruiting
MRI-based study to classify and grade kidney tumors
This study uses MRI scans to help doctors better identify the type and severity of kidney tumors. It may lead to more accurate diagnoses without needing extra tests.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07364071RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy and targeted radiation for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether combining standard hormone therapy and radiation with a special targeted radiation (PSMA-targeted radiotherapy) is safe and effective for men with high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread outside the pelvis.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07644598RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted Radiation Therapy for Low to Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer
This study tests a new radiation treatment approach that uses MRI imaging to target specific tumor areas within the prostate while reducing radiation to healthy tissue. It may help patients with early-stage prostate cancer get effective treatment with fewer side effects.

A new drug for advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to treatment
This early-phase trial tests a new study drug called ACE-232 for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy. It aims to see if the drug is safe and may help slow the cancer.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07187479Recruiting
Testing a new insulin approach for kidney disease and diabetes
This study tests a new approach to help your body use insulin better, which may improve blood sugar control and slow down kidney disease. It is for people with advanced chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes who are not yet on dialysis.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06419205RecruitingPhase 2
ADX-097 for IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, or C3G
This study tests an experimental oral therapy called ADX-097 for people with three types of kidney disease: IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, or C3 glomerulopathy. The goal is to see if it’s safe and can help reduce kidney damage.
Lawrenceville, GeorgiaAges 16 years+ - NCT06076538Recruiting
PET/MR scan for better understanding kidney tumors
This study uses a special PET/MR scanner to take detailed pictures of kidney masses. The goal is to improve diagnosis and help decide the best treatment, without needing a biopsy or prior treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07740629Recruiting
Video to reduce anxiety before urodynamics test
This trial tests if watching an educational video before a urodynamics test (a bladder function test) can help lower anxiety. It is for women who have never had this test before.
Kfar Saba, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT07741435Recruiting
Simple blood, urine, and saliva test to find cancer early
This study tests a new way to find cancer by looking at DNA in blood, urine, and saliva. It may help detect cancer earlier and monitor how well treatment works.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18 years+ - NCT04757116Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for enlarged prostate
This study compares two minimally invasive devices (iTind and UroLift) to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It is for men whose symptoms are bothersome enough to need treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 50 years+ - NCT07741656Recruiting
A study of the Beacon platform for laser prostate surgery
This trial tests a new tool (the Beacon Platform) that helps doctors perform a type of laser surgery for an enlarged prostate, called HoLEP. The goal is to see if it makes the surgery easier and more effective, which could help you urinate better.
SofiaAges 45 years+ - NCT07741929Recruiting
Genetic testing experiences for prostate cancer
This study looks at how patients and doctors feel about genetic testing for prostate cancer. It aims to improve how genetic risk information is shared and understood.
LondonAges 18–100 - NCT07741292RecruitingPhase 4
Kidney health study for older adults not on dialysis
This study tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine called Niaoduqing Granules can help improve kidney function in people over 60 with chronic kidney disease. It may offer a new way to manage the condition without dialysis.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 61 years+ - NCT07203404RecruitingEarly Phase 1
A study of a universal CAR-T cell therapy for autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new treatment called RD06-05, which uses specially engineered immune cells to target and potentially reset parts of the immune system that are attacking your own body. It is being studied for several autoimmune conditions like lupus, vasculitis, kidney diseases, and more.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07227402RecruitingPhase 3
Study of belzutifan and zanzalintinib for recurrent kidney cancer
This trial tests two new drugs, belzutifan and zanzalintinib, for people with advanced kidney cancer that returned after or within 2 years of finishing an immunotherapy treatment after surgery. You cannot have received any other cancer treatments besides that immunotherapy.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07711184RecruitingPhase 1
