Droxidopa for low blood pressure in cirrhosis with kidney injury
This trial tests a medication called droxidopa to see if it can raise blood pressure in people with cirrhosis who also have acute kidney injury. If you have low blood pressure and are in the hospital with these conditions, this study may help improve your kidney function.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT07636785RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
VMD-102 Drug Study for Advanced Cancers
This study tests a new drug called VMD-102 in patients with advanced liver cancer, melanoma, kidney cancer, lung cancer, or colon cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments. The trial will help determine if VMD-102 is safe and effective at slowing or stopping cancer growth.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07355296RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BI 764198 in adults and teens with kidney disease
This study tests an investigational drug (BI 764198) in adults and teens with different types of kidney disease. The goal is to see if the drug can help slow kidney damage. You may be able to join if your kidney function is at a certain level, you are on stable blood pressure medications, and you haven't had recent strong immune treatments.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 12 years+ - NCT06430684RecruitingEarly Phase 1
SGLT2 inhibitor trial for children with kidney disease
This trial tests a medication called SGLT2 inhibitor (a type of diabetes drug that may also help protect the kidneys) in children with chronic kidney disease. It aims to see if the drug is safe and easy to use in children ages 2–18 with moderate to severe kidney problems.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 12–25 - NCT05753930RecruitingPhase 2
New medicine to help highly sensitised children receive kidney transplants
This trial tests a new medicine called imlifidase that quickly removes harmful antibodies from the blood. It is given to children before a kidney transplant to make the donated kidney more likely to be accepted, especially when standard desensitisation methods have failed.
HelsinkiAges 1–17 - NCT04858724Recruiting
IgA nephropathy patient registry for long-term outcomes
This study gathers information from people with IgA nephropathy to better understand how the disease changes over time and what can be expected. The goal is to improve care and help guide future treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07594002Recruiting
Acupuncture for hot flashes in prostate cancer patients
This study tests whether real acupuncture works better than fake acupuncture for reducing hot flashes (sudden episodes of intense heat and sweating) in men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy. If acupuncture helps, it could offer relief without more medications.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–99 - NCT06971614RecruitingPhase 2
T3011 for bladder cancer not responding to standard treatments
This trial tests a drug called T3011 for a type of bladder cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments like BCG or chemotherapy. It aims to see if T3011 can help shrink the cancer or keep it from growing, offering a new option for people who have limited choices.
Queen Creek, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07556107RecruitingPhase 4
Safety study of two antibiotics for serious hospital infections
This study watches how safely two common antibiotics (vancomycin and a combination called piperacillin/tazobactam) work together in hospitalized patients with serious infections. Researchers want to make sure the combination doesn't harm kidney function.

Long-term safety of two kidney stone scope methods
This study is checking the long-term safety of two different ways of doing a kidney stone scope procedure (one uses a small tube to guide the scope, the other does not). If you had this procedure for a kidney stone (up to 20 mm) and it's been at least a year, they want to follow up with you to see how you're doing.
