Stop bladder cancer coming back with medicine after bladder surgery
This trial tests whether putting chemotherapy medicine directly into the bladder right after surgery helps prevent bladder cancer from coming back. It compares gemcitabine versus epirubicin given as an immediate bladder “wash-in.”

Urine test to predict kidney cancer response to immunotherapy
This study uses an at-home-style urine test (urine “omics,” meaning detailed lab information) to help predict how well immunotherapy may work for advanced kidney cancer. If you join, your urine results may help doctors tailor treatment choices and better understand who benefits most.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05207358RecruitingPhase 4
Lower steroid use in active lupus kidney inflammation
This trial looks at whether people with proliferative lupus nephritis can use less steroid medicine while still controlling kidney inflammation. It may help reduce steroid side effects, while testing a carefully monitored treatment plan.
BucharestAges 18–80 - NCT05214885Recruiting
Study biomarkers in kidney cancer and healthy people
This study looks at blood or body measures called “biomarkers” to understand how lack of oxygen and body energy changes in clear cell kidney cancer. It compares people with kidney cancer to carefully matched healthy volunteers to see what patterns might help improve understanding or future care.
JinanAges Any age - NCT04478851Recruiting
Exercise program to help people live well with cancer
This study offers an exercise program meant to help people with cancer improve how they live day to day. It may fit you if you are getting treatment now, starting soon, or finished within the last 5 years and can safely do mild activity.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–100 - NCT02102477Recruiting
Surgery or radiation for prostate cancer in the pelvis
This trial compares surgery versus radiation for men with locally advanced prostate cancer that has not spread to distant sites. It aims to see which treatment works better and is easier to manage for people like you.
AalborgAges 18–75 - NCT03865914Recruiting
Study linking diabetes kidney findings to biopsy results
This study looks at people with type 2 diabetes who have kidney problems and relates their symptoms and lab findings to what is seen on kidney biopsy. It may help doctors better understand what is driving kidney damage in diabetes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04894188Recruiting
Hormone plus radiation before prostate surgery for high-risk cancer
This trial studies giving hormone treatment and radiation before prostate surgery to treat high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer. It aims to improve cancer control by shrinking or controlling the tumor before removing it.
Douliu City/Huwei Township, Yunlin CountyAges 20–75 - NCT05315141Recruiting
Study of AAV in people with ANCA-associated vasculitis
This study follows people with ANCA-associated vasculitis to better understand the treatment using AAV. Your participation would mainly involve agreeing to be in the study and meeting the study’s disease criteria.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT02813642Recruiting
Study of heart risk in people starting dialysis
This study looks at heart (cardiovascular) risk factors in people who are just starting dialysis for chronic kidney failure. It may help doctors better understand what heart-related issues to watch for early during dialysis.
Castelnau-le-LezAges 18–90 - NCT03753243RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab and hormone blocker before prostate surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether pembrolizumab plus a hormone “androgen axis” blocker taken before prostate surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, non-metastatic prostate cancer. It’s designed for patients who are planning prostate removal with an extended lymph node dissection.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT05037825Recruiting
Study gut microbes with immune therapy in several solid cancers
This trial looks at how the gut microbiome (the bacteria in your digestive system) relates to outcomes when you take standard immune “checkpoint” cancer medicines. If you’re eligible, they’ll collect stool samples while you receive treatment for certain cancers.
Elizabethtown, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT04684602RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of stem cells for several short- and long-term illnesses
This early-stage study tests whether injections of mesenchymal stem cells can be safe and helpful for certain chronic (long-term) and acute (short-term) conditions. You might be considered if you can consent, are able to return for follow-up visits, and do not have key reasons that would make stem-cell treatment unsafe.
Culver City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05353946Recruiting
Rotational atherectomy elective vs emergency for heavily calcified blockages
This trial compares doing a special procedure (rotational atherectomy) before an emergency is needed versus using it as a rescue during a heart artery procedure. It is designed for people with very hard, calcified artery blockages and long-term kidney impairment, to see which approach works better and is safer.
MadridAges 18–100 - NCT05363657Recruiting
Registry study for kidney tumor treatment choices
This study is a registry that collects information on how people with localized kidney tumors are treated (either active treatment or watchful waiting). It may help doctors better understand which approaches work best for different patients.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05242055Recruiting
Tracking and treating chronic kidney disease risk
This trial looks at how well an integrated program for identifying and treating people at risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) can improve outcomes. It may help by catching problems earlier and guiding treatment sooner.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT05245591RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pentosan for bladder irritation after pelvic radiation
This trial studies whether pentosan polysulfate sodium can reduce bladder bleeding (hematuria) and urinary symptoms caused by radiation cystitis after pelvic cancer radiation. It may help people who are still having these bladder problems more than 6 months after radiation.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT04446858Recruiting
Ultrasound tests to study kidney failure in liver pressure disease
This trial studies whether special non-invasive ultrasound scans can help predict outcomes in people who have both liver-related high blood pressure in the veins (portal hypertension) and kidney failure. It may help doctors choose better monitoring and treatment for this specific combination of problems.
BonnAges 18–100 - NCT05397392Recruiting
Diagnosis and treatment plan for heart–kidney problems
This study looks at the best way to diagnose and treat different types of heart-and-kidney problems that happen together. It may help you (or your caregiver) get the right classification and treatment approach based on how your heart and kidneys are affected.
NanjingAges 18 years+ - NCT04595019Recruiting
Shorter faster radiation with hormone treatment for prostate cancer
This trial studies a more sped-up radiation schedule for men with certain local prostate cancers, given together with hormone therapy. It aims to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and making care easier.
Sutton, SurreyAges 18 years+ - NCT01601171Recruiting
Genetic study of reproductive problems and cleft lip or palate
This study looks at genetic (inherited) causes of certain hormone and reproductive conditions, including Kallmann syndrome and cleft lip/palate. You might be asked for medical and family history and possibly a DNA sample, helping researchers find what drives these conditions.
