Early albumin for kidney injury in cirrhosis
This study tests whether giving a common fluid (albumin) early can help protect the kidneys in people with advanced liver disease who have a sudden kidney injury. It aims to see if this simple treatment can improve recovery and prevent the need for dialysis.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06525571RecruitingPhase 3
Blue light surgery for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests if using blue light during surgery helps remove all cancer in people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. It may lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

Higher dose of targeted radiation for prostate cancer with low PSMA levels
This trial tests a higher dose of a radioactive drug (177Lu-PSMA-617) for men whose prostate cancer has spread and does not produce much of a protein called PSMA on scans. The goal is to see if a stronger dose can work better than the standard dose.
