Study of BAT4406F injection for MCD and FSGS
This trial tests an injected drug called BAT4406F for people with Minimal Change Disease (MCD) or Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), two types of kidney diseases that cause swelling and high protein in urine. It aims to see if the drug can help patients who have responded well to steroid therapy in the past.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06764602Recruiting
Kidney health in kids with tuberous sclerosis
This study looks back at medical records to see how many children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) have kidney problems. It may help doctors understand how common kidney issues are in kids with TSC.

Disitamab vedotin plus radiation for high-risk bladder cancer in kidney tube
This trial tests a targeted drug called disitamab vedotin combined with radiation after surgery for a rare type of bladder cancer in the upper urinary tract. It may be an option for people who cannot take standard chemotherapy because of kidney problems, hearing loss, or other health issues.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07501195Recruiting
Nutrition, Inflammation, Kidney Health in Older Hospital Patients
This study looks at nutrition, inflammation, kidney function, aging, body composition, and hydration in older patients who are hospitalized. It aims to understand how these factors affect recovery and health.
