Study on fear of cancer returning in kidney cancer
This study looks at fear of cancer recurrence in people with kidney cancer and their partners. It aims to understand and help manage these fears. You and your partner may join if you had surgery for early-stage kidney cancer.

Testing pivmecillinam pills for E. coli kidney infection
This trial tests if a switch to pivmecillinam pills after IV antibiotics works as well as standard oral antibiotics for E. coli febrile urinary tract infections. It aims to simplify treatment for patients who are already stable.
HaukelandAges 18 years+ - NCT07236463RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Iron chelator in dialysis fluid for sepsis-related kidney injury
This trial tests if adding an iron chelator (MEX-CD1) to the dialysis fluid can help remove harmful iron from the blood in patients with sepsis-related acute kidney injury who need continuous dialysis. It may reduce damage to the kidneys and other organs.
Nîmes, GardAges 18 years+ - NCT07233265Recruiting
Comparing two surgical methods for undescended testicle in boys
This study compares a newer single-incision scrotal surgery with the standard two-incision inguinal surgery to fix an undescended testicle in boys under 10 years old. The goal is to see which method works better.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 1–10 - NCT07234409Recruiting
Robotic partial nephrectomy for small kidney tumors
This trial compares different surgical methods for removing kidney tumors using a single-port robot. It aims to find the best approach for treating stage 1 kidney cancer.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07234981RecruitingPhase 2
Using PSMA-PET to guide less intense radiation for returning prostate cancer
This trial uses a special scan (PSMA-PET) to find where prostate cancer has returned after surgery. Then doctors give a lower dose of radiation only to that area, which may reduce side effects. It is for men whose PSA level is rising after prostate removal.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 30 years+ - NCT07234968Recruiting
Stent vs no stent after bladder removal surgery
This study looks at whether leaving a small tube (ureteral stent) in place after bladder removal helps recovery. It compares people who get a stent to those who don't, focusing on problems like leaks or infections after surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - NCT07239570RecruitingPhase 4
Using biomarkers to personalize kidney disease treatment
This study tests if matching treatments to your specific kidney disease markers can better protect your kidneys. It looks at how well Finerenone, Dapagliflozin, and Semaglutide work alone or in a sequence.
HerlevAges 18–75 - NCT07236684Recruiting
MS Bladder Control: Study of Muscle Activity
This study looks at how well the pelvic floor muscles work in people with MS who have bladder control problems. It may help find better ways to manage urinary incontinence.
IstanbulAges 30–50 - NCT07234890RecruitingPhase 2
Testing AV-001 to protect the brain during hemodialysis
This study tests a new medicine called AV-001 to see if it can protect the brain from damage caused by hemodialysis. If you qualify, you may help find a way to reduce thinking and memory problems linked to dialysis.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07235371Recruiting
Electrical Acupoint Stimulation for Bladder Recovery After Cervical Cancer Surgery
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation on specific acupoints (like acupuncture points) can help you regain bladder control after cervical cancer surgery. If you've had a catheter for a few weeks and haven't been able to pee on your own, this might be an option to help retrain your bladder.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT07231627Recruiting
Using AI to improve prostate cancer detection from MRI
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) program can help doctors decide when a prostate biopsy is needed. It is for men who have had a prostate MRI that shows either a low-risk (PIRADS 1-2) or uncertain (PIRADS 3) spot, along with a higher-than-normal PSA level. You may qualify if you have certain risk factors like a high PSA density, suspicious digital rectal exam, or family history of prostate cancer.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 40 years+ - NCT07233252RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab and chemotherapy for kidney pelvis cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) and a chemotherapy drug (nab-paclitaxel) to treat kidney pelvis cancer while trying to save as much kidney function as possible. It may be an option if you have a small tumor in the kidney pelvis and are scheduled for a laser procedure.
Tianjin, Outside U.S.Ages 18 years+ - NCT07239219Recruiting
Testing a special rinse to prevent infection after catheter removal
This trial tests whether using a special antiseptic solution (Irrisept) when removing a urinary catheter can lower the chance of getting a urinary tract infection. It is for people visiting a urology clinic for catheter removal who are not already on antibiotics.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07233837Recruiting
