Exercise to slow prostate cancer in men on active surveillance
This trial tests whether moderate exercise can help keep low-risk prostate cancer from growing in men who are monitoring their cancer instead of treating it right away. It may be especially helpful for men with certain risk factors like obesity or being Black or African American.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07690917Recruiting

Managing fluid removal in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury
This study looks at how to safely remove excess fluid from patients in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure and are on a special blood-filtering machine (CRRT). Researchers want to understand which patients have trouble tolerating fluid removal and how to prevent complications.

AI study to improve prostate cancer diagnosis with MRI and PSMA PET scans
This study is testing whether artificial intelligence can better predict prostate cancer by combining two types of scans (MRI and PSMA PET) along with your medical history, PSA, and biopsy results. If you have already had these scans and a biopsy, your information may help researchers develop a more accurate, non-invasive diagnostic tool.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07678073Recruiting
Comparing Anesthesia Types for Kidney Transplants
This study compares two types of anesthesia (general gas anesthesia vs. a spinal-plus-epidural method) during living-donor kidney transplants to see how they affect certain body signals related to cell health and aging. If you are having a kidney transplant from a living donor and are in good overall health, this trial could help doctors learn which anesthesia may be better for you.
Gaziantep, State/ProvinceAges 18–70 - NCT06960304Recruiting
Exercise program to help kidney patients' fistula work better
This trial tests if structured exercises can help the new blood vessel connection (AVF) in your arm mature properly for dialysis. It may improve your fistula's success and reduce complications.
Coimbra, Coimbra DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT06694558Recruiting
Monocytes in type 1 diabetes and kidney disease study
This study looks at immune cells (monocytes) in people with type 1 diabetes, with or without early kidney problems. Researchers want to understand how these cells differ between groups. You may be able to join if you have type 1 diabetes and use an insulin pump or injections along with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM).
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT06601179Recruiting
HIFU ultrasound for enlarged prostate
This trial tests a focused ultrasound treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. It aims to see if HIFU can safely relieve symptoms like weak urine flow and frequent urination.
BesançonAges 50–85 - NCT06601296RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus immunotherapy for metastatic kidney cancer
This trial tests whether combining radiation therapy with two types of immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitors and an injectable drug called IMSA101) can help control metastatic kidney cancer that is only growing in a few spots. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and keep them from growing further.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06605469Recruiting
Ejaculation and orgasm problems registry
This study creates a registry for men being treated for ejaculation or orgasm problems, and for their partners. It aims to collect information that could help improve care.
Orem, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06605508Recruiting
Stem cell injection for erectile dysfunction
This trial tests whether injecting stem cells or their byproducts can help men with erectile dysfunction who haven't responded well to standard treatments like Viagra. It aims to find a new option for improving sexual function.
Dubai, DubaiAges 30–75 - NCT06607913Recruiting
Exercise after hospitalization for kidney patients
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program can help adults over 55 with chronic kidney disease regain strength and mobility after a hospital stay.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 55 years+ - NCT06607991RecruitingPhase 1
Blinatumomab for children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome
This trial tests a drug called blinatumomab for children with a kidney condition that doesn't respond to standard treatments. It aims to see if it can help when other drugs have failed or caused side effects.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 2–17 - NCT06609005RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of INV-9956 for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called INV-9956 in men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy and has spread to other parts of the body. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06610721Recruiting
Better UTI diagnosis for older adults
This trial tests a panel of markers in urine to see if it can more accurately diagnose urinary tract infections in people aged 65 and older. If successful, it could lead to faster and more precise treatment.
