Study of a new drug for healthy adults and kidney patients on dialysis
This trial tests a new drug called AZD7760 in two groups: healthy adults (Phase I) and adults with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis through a central venous catheter (Phase IIa). The goal is to see how safe the drug is and how the body processes it. This could lead to a new treatment option for people on dialysis.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18–55 - NCT07764900Recruiting
Embolization for varicocele
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure to treat varicocele, which is an enlargement of veins in the scrotum that can cause pain or affect fertility. The procedure blocks the abnormal veins to improve symptoms and potentially fertility.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 16–60 - NCT05287945RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Orellanine for kidney cancer patients on dialysis
This early-stage study tests orellanine to treat advanced kidney cancer that has spread (metastatic clear-cell or papillary type). It may help by shrinking or controlling cancer, and by seeing whether the treatment is safe and tolerable in people already on chronic dialysis.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07758842Recruiting
Lifestyle changes for erectile dysfunction in men with metabolic syndrome
This study tests whether a six-month lifestyle modification program (including diet and exercise) can improve erectile function in men who have both erectile dysfunction and metabolic syndrome. If you're eligible, you may get support to make healthier lifestyle changes, which could help improve your symptoms.
CairoAges 30–65 - NCT07187635Recruiting
Urine DNA test before a second bladder tumor surgery
This trial studies if a urine test for tumor DNA can help decide when a second surgery is needed for early stage bladder cancer. It may reduce unnecessary procedures for some patients.
Nanchang, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07028853RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests whether adding the investigational drug mevrometostat to the standard treatment enzalutamide works better than enzalutamide alone for men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer). You may benefit if you haven't yet received chemotherapy or similar strong treatments for this stage of cancer.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06699849RecruitingPhase 2
CSL889 for sickle cell pain crisis
This trial tests a new medicine, CSL889, for people with sickle cell disease who are currently having a pain crisis (vaso-occlusive crisis). The goal is to see if it safely helps reduce the pain and speed recovery.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06679621Recruiting
Telehealth to prepare Latinas for pelvic surgery
This study tests a telehealth program to help Hispanic women feel more prepared before surgery for a pelvic floor condition like prolapse or incontinence. The program is done over video or phone, so you don't have to travel to a clinic.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07726602Recruiting
Tumor DNA blood test for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial uses a blood test to look for small pieces of tumor DNA (ctDNA) after treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to find out if the test can detect leftover or returning cancer earlier, helping guide next steps.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06717711RecruitingPhase 3
Shockwave therapy for penis recovery after prostate cancer surgery
This trial tests if low-intensity shockwaves can help men regain erectile function after robot-assisted prostate surgery. If you had nerve-sparing surgery and have good erections before treatment, this may help you recover faster.
Rome, RMAges 18–75 - NCT07668817Recruiting
Closing the tract after kidney stone surgery
This trial tests two ways of closing the small hole made during surgery to remove large kidney stones. It aims to see which method works better for your recovery.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07348237RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new kidney disease drug in patients with kidney failure
This trial tests the safety of a new medicine (MK-2828) in people with advanced kidney disease or on dialysis, and compares them to healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand how the drug works in the body and if it's safe for these patients.
Miami Lakes, FloridaAges 24–85 - NCT06047171RecruitingPhase 2
Testing ALE.F02 for new kidney inflammation from vasculitis
This trial tests a new medicine called ALE.F02 for people newly diagnosed with a type of kidney inflammation called rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) caused by ANCA vasculitis. The goal is to see if it can help rescue kidney function.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06963827RecruitingPhase 3
Study of mezagitamab for IgA nephropathy
This trial tests a new drug called mezagitamab for adults with IgA nephropathy, a kidney condition. The study aims to see if this drug can help reduce protein in the urine and preserve kidney function. You may be eligible if your kidney function is above a certain level and your urine protein is high enough.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07225764RecruitingPhase 4
Kidney stone prevention trial for calcium oxalate stone formers
This trial tests a new approach to prevent calcium oxalate kidney stones from coming back. It may help people who have had a procedure to remove stones and have a specific stone type.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07753733Recruiting
Comparing one versus multiple tunnels for complex kidney stone removal
This trial compares two ways to remove complex kidney stones through a small cut in the back. It uses a special scope to see inside the kidney, and some patients get one or multiple small tunnels to reach the stones. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT07764328Recruiting
Supplement for hormone balance in women with PCOS
This trial tests a dietary supplement designed to improve hormone balance in women with PCOS or PCOS-like symptoms. It may help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce signs like acne or excess hair growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–40 - NCT07762586RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This study looks at how well a standard chemotherapy given before surgery works for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to see if higher responses lead to better outcomes.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18–90 - NCT05574868Recruiting
Inflatable penile implant for erectile dysfunction
This trial tests an inflatable penile implant to treat erectile dysfunction. The device is placed inside the penis and can be inflated to create an erection and deflated when not needed.
AuchenflowerAges 22 years+ - NCT07762911Recruiting
MRI-based prostate cancer screening follow-up
