MicroRNA study for small testicular or post-chemo masses
This study looks at tiny molecules called microRNAs in the blood of people with either small testicular tumors (less than 2 cm) or leftover lymph node masses after chemotherapy for testicular cancer. The goal is to see if these microRNAs can help guide treatment decisions.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06620523RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing kidney injury after heart bypass surgery
This trial tests whether combining two natural supplements (CoQ10 and glutathione) can protect your kidneys during heart bypass surgery. It may help prevent acute kidney injury, a common complication after these procedures.

Exercise study to improve walking in kidney and artery disease
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with chronic kidney disease and peripheral artery disease walk better and feel stronger. It aims to improve mobility and quality of life.
Ferrara, ItalyAges 18–80 - NCT06622525Recruiting
Baking soda to prevent kidney damage from heatstroke
This trial tests if giving sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can protect the kidneys in people with severe heatstroke, which can cause muscle breakdown and kidney injury.
Mexicali, Estado de Baja CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06622915Recruiting
Heart health in kids with kidney condition
This study looks at how different types of nephrotic syndrome affect heart function in children. It may help doctors understand the heart risks in kids who need steroids for a long time compared to those whose condition doesn't respond to steroids.
SohagAges 2–14 - NCT06623617Recruiting
Breathing training for postpartum bladder control
This trial tests whether breathing exercises can help new mothers regain bladder control after having a baby. It is for women who are 6 weeks to 6 months postpartum and have been diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising).
Guangzhou, ShenzhenAges 18 years+ - NCT06623630RecruitingPhase 1
Carvykti with special radiation and chemo for kidney patients
This trial tests adding total body radiation and a chemotherapy drug (cyclophosphamide) before the standard Carvykti cell therapy for multiple myeloma patients who have kidney problems. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people with reduced kidney function.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06624358Recruiting
Physical activity study for teens with chronic kidney disease
This study looks at physical activity in teens with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not yet on dialysis or have had a transplant. It aims to understand their current activity levels and how to help them stay active safely.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 13–18 - NCT06625034RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two radiation planning methods for prostate cancer
This trial tests two ways to plan radiation treatment for prostate cancer: one using a computer program (RapidPlan) and the other using human experts. The goal is to see if the computer-assisted method works as well or better.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06625073RecruitingPhase 4
SGLT2i for heart transplant recipients
This trial is testing a medication called SGLT2i (a type of diabetes drug that also helps the heart and kidneys) in people who have received a heart transplant. It aims to see if this drug can improve health after transplant.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06625268Recruiting
