Oral antibiotic step-down for ESBL bladder infections
This Phase 3 trial tests whether switching from short-term IV antibiotics to an oral antibiotic combo is safe and effective for ESBL urine infections. It may help you avoid staying on IV antibiotics as long, if your bacteria are the right match.
HelsingborgAges 18–130 - NCT05225428Recruiting
Video education program based on personal genetic result disclosure
This study tests a video-based education approach that shares information differently depending on someone’s genetic test results. It may help people better understand cancer-related genetic information and what it could mean for them.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05227937Recruiting
Single-dose antibiotic for uncomplicated bladder infection in the ER
This study tests whether giving one dose of amikacin in the emergency department is practical and safe for treating uncomplicated bladder infections. It also looks at how patients do after treatment over the next 3, 7, and 30 days.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 14–110 - NCT05230511RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder wash with LGG probiotic vs saline for nerve bladder
This study tests whether putting a probiotic called LGG into the bladder works better than a saline bladder rinse to help people with a nerve-related bladder problem. It may improve bladder symptoms or reduce bladder infections, compared with standard saline rinses.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05231655Recruiting
Study testing fresh tumor tissue from cancer surgery or biopsy
This study collects fresh samples of tumor tissue during procedures like surgery, biopsy, or TURBT to test a cancer therapy outside the body. It may help researchers learn which treatments work better for different solid cancers.

Oncolytic virus treatment for early bladder cancer that keeps coming back
This trial tests an “oncolytic virus” treatment given into the bladder to fight high-grade non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help people whose bladder cancer did not respond to initial bladder prevention treatments, potentially delaying or avoiding major bladder surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05237063Recruiting
Predicting kidney stone recurrence and complications using precision medicine
This study looks for better ways to predict when kidney stones may come back and what complications might happen. It may help doctors personalize follow-up and prevention plans based on information collected from you.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05240001Recruiting
Laser procedure comparison for enlarged prostate symptoms
This trial compares two laser treatments for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) in men whose symptoms did not improve with medicine. It may help find which laser approach works better for improving urine flow and symptom relief.
Thunder Bay, OntarioAges 50 years+ - NCT05241236Recruiting
Laser ablation guided by MRI and ultrasound for prostate cancer
This trial looks at a treatment that uses MRI and ultrasound to guide a laser to destroy prostate cancer. It may help men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer who do not have spread beyond the prostate.
Miami Lakes, FloridaAges 50 years+ - NCT05242315RecruitingPhase 4
Long-acting tacrolimus after liver transplant
This trial studies whether taking an extended-release form of tacrolimus (a medicine to prevent transplant rejection) after a liver transplant works well for people who are followed at the University of Alberta. It may help simplify dosing and monitor safety and effectiveness after transplant.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 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 - NCT05247502Recruiting
Study of kidney outcomes after ICU kidney injury
This study follows adults who stay in the ICU for more than 24 hours to see how an episode of acute kidney failure affects kidney health over the long term. Your participation helps researchers understand which ICU patients may need closer kidney monitoring later.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT05249634RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone treatment study for men with chronic kidney disease
This Phase 2 study tests whether testosterone therapy can help men with chronic kidney disease who have low testosterone and related symptoms. It looks to see if treatment is safe and beneficial, while carefully checking heart, blood, prostate, and clotting risks.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–85 - NCT05248412Recruiting
Study how COVID-19 long-term effects impact chronic diseases
This research looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the health and healthcare of adults with long-term conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, or chronic lung disease. It compares people who may have been affected by the pandemic and looks at their health and access to care over time.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05255289Recruiting
Midurethral sling surgery for stress urine leakage
This trial studies how safe and effective a midurethral sling operation is for people with stress urinary incontinence (urine leakage with coughing, laughing, or exercise). It also requires special bladder testing before and after surgery to measure results.
New Taipei CityAges 30–100 - NCT05263050RecruitingPhase 2
Trial tests a new cabozantinib schedule for kidney and neuroendocrine tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a different dosing schedule of cabozantinib (a cancer medicine) for metastatic kidney cancer and certain neuroendocrine tumors. It aims to see if the timing and schedule can work well for people with advanced disease.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05264337Recruiting
Study for swelling after prostate or other urinary surgery
This study looks at swelling caused by lymph fluid buildup after urinary (urologic) surgery that removes lymph nodes. If you’re scheduled for or recently had this type of surgery, this trial may help researchers understand how to prevent or treat this swelling.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05266092Recruiting
Study kidney disease immune system activity in dialysis patients
This study looks at how the body’s defense systems (immune system and related signals) behave in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors understand what is driving inflammation and related complications in dialysis patients.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT05268289RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for lupus kidney inflammation using LNP023
This Phase 2 study tests whether LNP023 can improve outcomes and safety in people with active lupus nephritis (lupus-related kidney inflammation), class III or IV. It may help by targeting the ongoing immune activity that is damaging the kidneys.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT05279963Recruiting
Study for bladder pain using a nerve-based treatment (EA)
This trial tests whether a nerve-based therapy called EA can reduce bladder pain. It also aims to understand why the treatment may help by looking at underlying mechanisms.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT05282732Recruiting
Review of dialysis machine filter performance in 2019 patients
This study does a “chart review” of existing dialysis treatment records from 2019. It checks how specific dialysis filters and concentrate products performed and how treatment measurements changed over time.
HanoverAges 18 years+ - NCT05283330RecruitingPhase 1
Tested 212Pb imaging drug for certain advanced GRPR tumors
This early-phase study tests how safe and tolerable an experimental radiation drug is for adults with certain advanced or metastatic cancers that show a target called GRPR. Doctors will also use special scans to confirm the tumor has the target so the treatment can be delivered to the right place.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05283512Recruiting
IV versus drink fluids to protect kidneys after CT scan
This study compares giving fluids through a vein versus drinking fluids to lower the risk of sudden kidney injury after a CT scan with contrast dye. It focuses on adults with very poor kidney function who are scheduled for an elective CT scan.

Study for metastatic kidney cancer treatments combinations
This trial studies people with advanced (metastatic) kidney cancer who are starting a specific set of first-line treatment combinations (including drugs like nivolumab, pembrolizumab, or avelumab, paired with targeted medicines). It may help improve how these treatment plans work for different types of kidney cancer.
