Study of blood flow risk after fistula surgery
This study looks at the risk of a lack of blood flow (ischaemia) after creating an arteriovenous fistula, which is a small surgical connection made between an artery and a vein for dialysis. The goal is to better understand how often this problem happens and what factors might increase the risk.

Study of weight loss medication for youth with hypothalamic obesity
This study tests a combination of two medications, phentermine and topiramate, to see if they help young people with hypothalamic obesity lose weight safely. Hypothalamic obesity is rapid weight gain caused by injury to the hypothalamus, often from a brain tumor or its treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 6–28 - NCT06299683Recruiting
Pain type and bladder pain syndrome treatment study
This study is testing if the type of pain you feel can help predict which treatments work best for interstitial cystitis (a condition that causes bladder pain and pressure). It may help match you with more effective care.
Franklin, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06302569RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus enfortumab vedotin for rare kidney cancers
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) and enfortumab vedotin (a targeted therapy)—for people with collecting duct carcinoma or renal medullary carcinoma, two rare types of kidney cancer that have spread. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06302595Recruiting
MRI-guided prostate biopsy for cancer diagnosis
This trial uses MRI to guide a biopsy of the prostate, aiming to better detect cancer in men with abnormal PSA levels, a lump, or a suspicious MRI finding.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30 years+ - NCT06303622Recruiting
Comparing two MRI-guided biopsy methods for prostate cancer
This trial compares two ways to guide a prostate biopsy using MRI images, to see which better detects clinically significant prostate cancer in men with suspicious MRI findings.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06303661Recruiting
Radiofrequency and shock wave therapy for Peyronie's plaque
This study tests if two non-invasive treatments—radiofrequency energy and low-intensity shock waves—can help soften the hard plaque and reduce penile curvature caused by Peyronie's disease. It is open to men at any stage of the condition.
Salvador, Estado de BahiaAges 18–80 - NCT06305832RecruitingPhase 2
Salvage radiation plus hormone therapy with or without rezvilutamide for rising PSA
This trial tests whether adding a new oral hormone blocker (rezvilutamide) to standard salvage radiation and hormone therapy can better control prostate cancer that has come back (rising PSA) after surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 40 years+ - NCT06306612Recruiting
Surgery plus hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests whether removing the prostate (surgery) plus standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy can help men whose prostate cancer has spread to many places in the body. It is for men who have not yet had treatment for their cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06306963Recruiting
Stomach blood vessel condition and digestion symptoms study
This study looks at people with a stomach condition called gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) to understand how it affects digestion and causes symptoms. Researchers want to learn if stomach muscle function problems are common in this condition.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 19 years+ - NCT06308978RecruitingPhase 1
Study of FT819 for B-cell autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new cell therapy, FT819, for people with certain autoimmune diseases like lupus, vasculitis, myositis, or scleroderma that haven't improved with at least two previous treatments. The goal is to see if it can help control the disease.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 12–70 - NCT06310759Recruiting
Testing urine DNA for bladder cancer detection
This trial looks at whether a large urine sample can detect bladder cancer DNA. It may help diagnose cancer without needing a cystoscopy. You can join if you are about to have a cystoscopy to check for bladder cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–100 - NCT06310967RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of IG3018 for high uric acid with or without kidney disease
This trial tests a new medicine, IG3018, to lower high uric acid levels in people with or without chronic kidney disease. It aims to find the right dose and see if it's safe.
Botany, New South WalesAges 18–75 - NCT06311240Recruiting
Chronic pain therapy in hemodialysis patients
This study looks at whether a certain kind of therapy can help people on dialysis who have chronic pain. If you have kidney failure and have been on hemodialysis for at least 3 months, you may be able to join.
Terrassa, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06312644Recruiting

Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06316778Recruiting
Pelvic floor training for women with myotonic dystrophy
This study tests whether pelvic floor muscle training (exercises to strengthen the muscles that control urine flow) can help women with myotonic dystrophy type 1 who have bladder leakage. It's a gentle, non-surgical approach that may improve quality of life.
