Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT07317310Recruiting
Joint health and weight loss study for knee osteoarthritis patients
This trial tests a joint health program for people with knee osteoarthritis and a BMI of 27 or higher. The goal is to see if it can improve knee pain and help with weight management.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 18–75 - NCT03524222Recruiting
Home hospital care for adults after sudden illness
This trial tests whether certain adults can safely receive hospital-level care at home instead of staying in the hospital, using a home care team. It may help you recover in your own home if your condition fits their plan and you have support at home.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03586518Recruiting
Non-contrast heart MRI test in dialysis patients
This trial checks whether a new kind of heart MRI (done without contrast dye) can help doctors see heart changes in people receiving hemodialysis. It may help improve how heart health is measured in dialysis care, especially for people with limited time.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT03787589Recruiting
Exercise program for people on dialysis
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program (using Nordic walking poles) is safe and helpful for adults with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. You may be eligible if you can do the exercise safely and are able to consent.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03841617RecruitingPhase 2
Measure radiation in thyroid cancer using a special PET-CT scan
This trial tests how much radiation a specialized whole-body PET/CT scan delivers in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. It may help doctors better plan treatment for cancer that persists, returns, or has spread—especially when radioactive iodine (RAI) may or may not work.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT03865914Recruiting
Study linking diabetes kidney findings to biopsy results
This study looks at people with type 2 diabetes who have kidney problems and relates their symptoms and lab findings to what is seen on kidney biopsy. It may help doctors better understand what is driving kidney damage in diabetes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03929900Recruiting
Study follow-up for kidney disease in adults (non-dialysis)
This study follows adults with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis. It aims to better understand kidney health and test what care or monitoring might help over time.
Seoul, Jongno-guAges 45–79 - NCT03959163Recruiting
Quick kidney MRI test in children with kidney infection
This study checks whether a fast kidney MRI (“Quick MRI”) can help doctors in children who are being evaluated for kidney infection (pyelonephritis). It may help confirm kidney involvement without relying only on slower or more complex tests.
Madison, WisconsinAges birth–21 years - NCT04039061Recruiting
