Krakow, MalopolskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06954740RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell treatment for acute kidney injury
This study tests a special type of stem cell treatment called mesenchymal stromal cells (Amimestrocel) for patients with acute kidney injury. The goal is to see if this treatment can help kidneys recover better than standard care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06953180Recruiting
Epigenetics, aging, and disease prevention study in Kazakhstan
This study looks at how your genes and environment affect your risk for non-communicable diseases like heart disease or diabetes. It aims to predict your biological age and help create personalized prevention plans.
Almaty, KazakhstanAges 18–69 - NCT06960798Recruiting
Genomic study for Native Americans with pancreatic or kidney cancer
This study looks at the genes of pancreatic and kidney cancers in Native American patients to learn more about these diseases and potentially find better treatments. If you join, researchers will use your stored tumor sample for genetic testing.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–100 - NCT04591990RecruitingPhase 3
Hydrocortisone and vasopressin for shock after cardiac arrest
This Phase 3 trial tests whether hydrocortisone plus vasopressin (or related hormone treatments) can improve shock in adults after a resuscitated cardiac arrest. It targets people who remain very low in blood pressure despite fluids and need strong IV medicines to maintain blood pressure.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06334809Recruiting
Genetic test for men with prostate cancer and DNA repair changes
This trial looks for specific DNA repair changes in men with prostate cancer. It tests if these genetic features can help guide treatment decisions. You may join if you have high-risk localized, newly metastatic, or advanced prostate cancer and have tissue available for testing.
Candiolo, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT06830577Recruiting
Aminophylline for kidney stone removal surgery
This trial tests if placing aminophylline into the ureter during a stone removal procedure (flexible ureteroscopy) reduces complications. It may help people with kidney stones smaller than 2 cm who have not had a ureteral stent placed before.
Cairo, AbassiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05065372RecruitingPhase 1
Metformin test with automated insulin in teens with type 1
This Phase 1 study tests how adding metformin affects blood flow in the kidneys, insulin sensitivity, and overall heart/metabolic health in young people with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand whether this combo is safe and beneficial alongside automated or pump/shot insulin care.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12–25 - NCT06684652Recruiting
Comparing targeted plus standard biopsies for prostate cancer diagnosis
This trial tests whether adding a targeted biopsy to a standard sextant biopsy improves the detection of prostate cancer. It is for men aged 45 to 85 who have a suspicious spot on an MRI of their prostate and have not had a biopsy before.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 45–85 - NCT06944314Enrolling by invitation
Doctors' views on pain during flexible cystoscopy with local anesthetic
This trial asks doctors to rate how much pain they think male patients feel during a minimally invasive bladder exam. It aims to see if doctors' estimates of pain are accurate.
