Sugar-related substances and blood vessel problems in type 1 diabetes
This study looks at how certain sugar-related substances in the blood (called advanced glycation products) are linked to blood vessel problems in people with type 1 diabetes. It follows up with participants from an earlier study at Reims Hospital.

Pelvic floor rehab for women with pelvic floor issues
This trial tests a pelvic floor rehabilitation program (using exercises and possibly electrical or magnetic stimulation) for women with weak pelvic muscles after childbirth or mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse. It aims to improve muscle strength and reduce prolapse symptoms.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06462495RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Comparing two PSMA PET/CT scans for prostate cancer
This trial compares two types of PET/CT scans (using different radioactive tracers) to see which is better at finding prostate cancer, tracking its return, or spotting spread. It's for people with prostate cancer or those being checked for recurrence after treatment.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–90 - NCT06462508RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Comparing two PET scans for prostate cancer detection
This trial compares two types of PET scans—one using a new tracer called [18F]F-PSMA-N5 and another using an existing tracer called [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11—to see which is better at finding prostate cancer, including early signs of recurrence. If you have or are suspected of having prostate cancer, this study may help determine how advanced the disease is.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–90 - NCT06462963Recruiting
Single vs multiple radiation doses for cancer spread
This trial compares a single, strong dose of radiation to multiple smaller doses for treating cancer that has spread to a few spots. It aims to see which approach causes fewer side effects.

Automated Insulin Delivery for People with Advanced Kidney Disease
This trial tests an automated insulin pump system for people with diabetes who also have advanced kidney disease. It may help manage blood sugar more easily.
LondonAges 18–70 - NCT06464510RecruitingPhase 3
Treating sepsis with norepinephrine plus early vasopressin
This trial tests whether giving a second medicine called vasopressin early (along with norepinephrine) helps people with sepsis and low blood pressure better than waiting to use vasopressin only if norepinephrine doesn't work. It may improve blood pressure control and reduce the need for strong medicines.
Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT06466135RecruitingPhase 2
Study of WAL0921 for glomerular kidney diseases
This study tests a new drug called WAL0921 for people with certain types of kidney disease. The goal is to see if it can help protect kidney function.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06467097RecruitingPhase 3
Drug therapy vs. drug therapy plus radiation for limited kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation to standard drug therapy helps control kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots (oligometastatic). It is for people with clear cell renal cell carcinoma who have up to 5 metastases.

AI learning from MRI and tissue to improve prostate cancer care
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at your MRI scans, tissue samples, and medical records to learn more about prostate cancer and find better ways to treat it. You may join if you've had prostate removal surgery or have advanced prostate cancer.

Walking Patterns in Women With Stress Incontinence
This study compares how women with and without mild stress urinary incontinence walk. It may help understand how incontinence affects movement and balance.
CairoAges 40–60 - NCT06469190RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR NK cells for treatment-resistant kidney disease
This trial is testing a new therapy made from your own immune cells (called CAR NK cells) that are designed to fight a type of kidney disease that hasn't responded to standard treatments. It may be an option if you have membranous nephropathy, IgA nephropathy, or ANCA-associated vasculitis and previous treatments have failed.

Bladder leaks and pelvic floor issues in trail runners
This study looks at bladder leaks and other pelvic floor issues that trail runners may experience. By completing an online questionnaire, you'll help researchers understand how common these problems are and what might help.
Saint-DenisAges 18 years+ - NCT06469736Recruiting
Comparing two methods for removing kidney stones
This study compares two ways to remove kidney stones: using a scope with a laser to break up stones, versus using the same scope plus a special gel to help remove the pieces. It aims to see if adding the gel makes the procedure more effective and safer.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06470282RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug combo plus radiation for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) plus radiation therapy for people with bladder cancer that has grown into the muscle layer. The goal is to see if this treatment can kill the cancer while avoiding the need for bladder removal surgery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06470243RecruitingPhase 3
Adding carboplatin to cabazitaxel for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug called carboplatin to another chemotherapy called cabazitaxel works better than cabazitaxel alone for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. All participants must have already had docetaxel chemotherapy.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06471621Recruiting
Personalized care to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This trial tests whether personalized care can prevent acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) after heart or major blood vessel surgery. If you are having planned heart valve repair, bypass, or aortic surgery, you may be able to join.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06472999Recruiting
Kidney protection in critically ill ICU patients
This trial tests ways to protect the kidneys in intensive-care patients who have moderate or severe acute kidney injury. If you are on a ventilator or medications to support blood pressure, this study may offer extra kidney care to help prevent further damage.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT06473259Recruiting
Comparing treatments for hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer
This trial looks at combining hormone therapy with either chemotherapy (docetaxel), a targeted pill (like abiraterone or enzalutamide), or radiation to the prostate tumor for men whose prostate cancer has spread but is still sensitive to hormones. The goal is to see which approach works best for controlling the cancer.

T-cell study in long-term kidney failure
This study is looking at how immune cells called T-cells work in people with long-term kidney failure. It tests whether these cells can be changed in the lab to help treat the condition.
