Study of a method for placing a dialysis catheter (PREDICT)
This study watches how well a certain method (percutaneous) works for placing a peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter, which is a soft tube used for a type of kidney dialysis. By tracking patients’ experiences before and after the procedure, the study aims to improve care for people with kidney failure.

Kidney and pregnancy registry study
This study tracks the health of women with kidney problems before, during, and after pregnancy to learn how to better care for them. It is for women who have had kidney disease, high blood pressure, certain pregnancy complications, or a kidney transplant.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06071195Recruiting
All-in-one prostate cancer staging with MRI
This trial is testing whether a single MRI scan can replace multiple tests to stage prostate cancer. It is for people with more aggressive or advanced prostate cancer who are planning active treatment like surgery or radiation.
Brescia, BSAges 35 years+ - NCT06072703Recruiting
Brain stimulation for bladder control in MS
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation can improve bladder control in women with multiple sclerosis. If you have bladder symptoms like urgency or frequent urination, this trial may help find new ways to manage them.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06077747Recruiting
Lumbar vein treatment for chronic headaches with nutcracker anatomy
This study tests a procedure called lumbar vein embolization to treat daily headaches that feel like pressure and get worse when lying down. It's for people who have a rare anatomy where a vein in the kidney is pinched (nutcracker physiology), and standard headache medicines haven't helped.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06079788RecruitingPhase 3
ACTH for children with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome
This trial tests if a hormone called ACTH can help children with nephrotic syndrome who have frequent relapses or need steroids to stay in remission. It aims to find a treatment that may reduce the need for steroids and prevent relapses.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 2–14 - NCT06082063RecruitingPhase 3
Reducing heart disease risk in type 1 diabetes
This trial tests a combination of treatments to lower the risk of heart disease and kidney problems in people with type 1 diabetes who already have some complications or higher risk. If you qualify, you will receive extra care aimed at preventing heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure.
CopenhagenAges 40–90 - NCT06083051Recruiting
Comparing symptoms from different ureteral stents after stone surgery
This study compares four types of ureteral stents to see which causes the fewest side effects after kidney stone treatment. If you have a stent placed after stone surgery, your symptoms will be tracked to help find the best option.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–89 - NCT06083168Recruiting
Heart disease in chronic kidney disease study
This study is looking at the link between kidney disease and heart disease. It aims to understand how heart problems affect people with chronic kidney disease. The trial does not test a new drug, but rather follows patients to learn more about their health.
OlsztynAges 18 years+ - NCT06084338RecruitingPhase 2
Focused Radiation Therapy Without Hormone Therapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer
This trial tests whether giving focused radiation to many cancer spots (SBRT) can work without using testosterone-blocking hormone therapy. It is for men whose prostate cancer has spread and is no longer responding to low testosterone, and who have already tried one of the newer hormone drugs.
West Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06085729RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ADI-PEG20 with chemo for aggressive prostate cancer
This study tests a combination of three drugs—ADI-PEG20, carboplatin, and cabazitaxel—in men with aggressive variant prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or slow the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06088134Recruiting
Predicting survival after kidney cancer surgery with CT scans
This study uses a computer model to analyze your CT scans and predict how long you might stay cancer-free after surgery. It aims to help doctors personalize follow-up care for clear cell kidney cancer.
