- NCT05679024RecruitingPhase 3
Apixaban to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation and kidney failure
This trial tests apixaban (a blood thinner) to prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter who have very poor kidney function or are on dialysis. If you qualify, you may help researchers find a safer way to lower stroke risk for this higher-risk group.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT05678452Recruiting
High-power vs low-power HOLEP for large prostates
This study compares two surgical settings (high power versus low power) during a prostate procedure called HOLEP to see which is safer and works better for people with a large prostate. If you need surgery for an enlarged prostate, this trial may help improve how the procedure is done.
CairoAges 45 years+ - NCT05679557Recruiting
Assessing frailty before bladder surgery to improve recovery
This trial tests whether a thorough “geriatric assessment” (a health check focused on older adults) can help you be better prepared for bladder removal surgery. It may guide supportive care before and around surgery to improve safety and recovery.
OdenseAges 65 years+ - NCT05680480RecruitingPhase 2
Telitacicept for active lupus kidney inflammation
This trial tests telitacicept to improve lupus nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys caused by lupus). It targets people with active kidney disease confirmed by biopsy and compares outcomes while you receive standard steroid plus mycophenolate treatment.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05685433Recruiting
Real-world study of eCoin for urgent urine leaks
This study looks at how well eCoin (a device treatment) reduces urgent urine leaks in people with overactive bladder. It’s a “real-world” evaluation, meaning it aims to reflect everyday care after the device is already approved.
Homewood, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05686525Recruiting
TUMT vs PAE to ease severe urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate
This trial compares two catheter-based treatments—TUMT and PAE—to see which better reduces severe urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (BPH). It may help you choose a treatment option if medicines are not suitable or you still have significant symptoms.
Copenhagen, Copenhagen NAges 40 years+ - NCT05686226RecruitingPhase 2
Trial tests immune cells targeting HPV-16 cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests an immune-cell treatment (E7 TCR T cells) designed to attack cancers caused by HPV type 16. It may help people whose HPV-16+ cancer has come back or not responded to standard treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05691465RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation drug for metastatic prostate cancer with neuroendocrine cells
This Phase 2 study tests whether a radioactive medicine called lutetium Lu 177 dotatate is safe and effective for metastatic prostate cancer that has neuroendocrine features. It also checks whether patients’ scans show the cancer absorbs the drug (a requirement to start treatment).
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05692388Recruiting
Study social needs support for Black adults with kidney and diabetes
This study looks at health-related social needs—like barriers to food, housing, or care—in African American adults living with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. It uses a mixed-methods approach to understand needs better and what support may help.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05694624Recruiting
Study of sepsis-related kidney injury monitoring
This trial looks at acute kidney injury that can happen during sepsis (a serious body-wide infection or suspected infection). It may help improve how doctors detect and manage kidney problems early, especially in intensive care or around major surgery.
Tromsø, TromsAges 18–100 - NCT05696613RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a hormone gel for high-risk membranous nephropathy
This study tests a new gel that contains a natural hormone to quiet the immune attack on kidneys. It is for people whose membranous nephropathy is at high risk of getting worse.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05697250Recruiting
Compare low vs high laser settings for kidney stone removal
This study compares two laser power settings during a procedure (ureteroscopy) to break up kidney stones. It aims to see which setting works well and is safe for treating stones in the urinary tract.
Bergen, VestlandAges 18 years+ - NCT05698576Recruiting
Laser treatment through the skin for men with prostate cancer
This trial tests a laser procedure done through the skin between the scrotum and anus, guided by MRI and ultrasound, for men with certain prostate cancer types. It aims to heat and treat prostate cancer while checking safety and outcomes over follow-up visits.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 50–80 - NCT05700461RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new implant drug delivery device for kidney cancer
This early-phase study tests a new small implant (“IMD”) that can deliver a drug for people with kidney cancer going to surgery. If you qualify, you would get the implant placed through the skin and later have it removed during your operation, along with extra lab checks and genetic testing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05709028RecruitingPhase 3
Fosfomycin for drug-resistant bladder infections in children
This trial tests whether fosfomycin works better than the usual treatment for children with urine infections caused by antibiotic-resistant germs. It may help by using an antibiotic choice that can still work when common oral options may fail.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 6 months–17 years - NCT05709600Recruiting
Diet study during planned living kidney donation
This trial looks at whether specific diet changes can be safely used for people who are planning a living kidney transplant. It mainly aims to understand how diet might affect people during the donation/transplant process.
CologneAges 18 years+ - NCT05710861Recruiting
Focal HIFU versus prostate surgery: cost and quality of life
This trial compares focal HIFU (a targeted heating treatment inside the prostate) with prostate surgery, looking at overall cost and quality of life. It may help people with certain early, limited prostate cancers understand which option fits best for them.
BesançonAges 50–75 - NCT05710848RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for repeat bladder tumor surgery patients
This trial tests STM-416, given around the time you have surgery to remove recurring bladder tumors, to see if it can reduce the chance the cancer comes back. It is for people with high-risk early bladder cancer (non–muscle-invasive) who have already had standard treatment and now need another TURBT.
Mesa, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05711446Recruiting
Studying repeat urine leaks and bladder infections after kidney transplant
This study looks at how often kidney transplant patients get bladder infections after transplant, especially around routine follow-up visits. It may help the clinic find ways to lower infection risk after transplant.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05712785Recruiting
Ureteroscopy test for stones in the ureter
This trial studies ureteroscopy, a procedure where a camera and tools are used through the urethra to reach and treat ureter stones. It may help people whose kidney/urine tract stones are causing symptoms and who can safely cooperate with treatment.
Handan, HebeiAges 18–85 - NCT05714774Recruiting
Ultrasound analysis methods during HIFU prostate cancer treatment
This study compares different ways to analyze ultrasound images in real time while treating localized prostate cancer with HIFU (a focused ultrasound treatment). It aims to improve how safely and accurately the treatment is monitored.
LyonAges 50 years+ - NCT05715086Recruiting
Personalized emergency care for painful ureter stones
This trial tests a patient-centered approach to managing painful kidney/ureter stones that are blocking urine flow. It may help you choose the safest next step—such as treatment with a scope or careful observation—based on your symptoms and situation.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05715502Recruiting
Targeted radiation for prostate cancer that came back
This study tests a focused (“salvage”) brachytherapy—radiation placed directly near the prostate—to treat prostate cancer that has returned after earlier radiation. It may help control the tumor while limiting radiation exposure to surrounding tissues, based on how well people fit the study’s safety and cancer details.
Poznan, Greater Poland VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT05715684Recruiting
Pre-surgery preparation program for people having bladder removal
This study tests a patient-centered coaching and preparation program before bladder surgery (cystectomy) to help you get ready for surgery and recovery. It may be especially helpful for people having urinary diversion using an ileal conduit or ileal neobladder.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85
