Blood-pressure strategy to prevent kidney injury after heart bypass
This trial tests a targeted way to manage blood pressure before and after off-pump heart bypass surgery, with the goal of reducing acute kidney injury (sudden kidney problems). It may help some people by lowering stress on the kidneys during and right after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT04532606RecruitingPhase 4
Remimazolam to improve outcomes after bladder tumor surgery
This trial tests whether the anesthesia medicine remimazolam can improve recovery and longer-term outcomes after surgery for early-stage bladder cancer. If you are having a bladder tumor procedure through the urethra, this study may help doctors understand whether this anesthesia choice matters for prognosis.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–90 - NCT06537154RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Neoadjuvant therapy for bladder cancer with active surveillance
This trial tests whether people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer can safely avoid immediate surgery or radiation after a short course of chemotherapy. Instead, they would be closely monitored and only treated if the cancer comes back.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06738550Enrolling by invitation
Agave inulin for constipation in new dialysis patients
This study tests whether a natural fiber supplement called agave inulin can help with constipation and improve quality of life for people who have just started peritoneal dialysis for kidney failure.
Metepec, State of MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT06742723RecruitingPhase 3
Study of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin for kidney disease and high blood pressure
This trial tests if combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin helps protect kidney function and reduce heart risks in people with chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure. It's for adults who are already taking standard blood pressure medications.
Fairhope, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06743620Enrolling by invitation
Registry for iltamiocel vs placebo for incontinence after surgery
This study follows women who previously received the experimental drug iltamiocel for stress incontinence after surgery. It compares their long-term results to those who received placebo, helping doctors understand if the drug helps repair the urinary sphincter.
Harvard, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT06399185RecruitingPhase 4
Medicines for catheter discomfort after bladder or prostate surgery
This study tests whether two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, can reduce discomfort from a urinary catheter after bladder or prostate surgery. If you are having this type of surgery and need a catheter, this trial may help find a better way to manage that discomfort.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06742060Recruiting
Copeptin levels after brain surgery in children
This study follows children after brain surgery to see how a substance called copeptin (a marker in the blood) changes and whether it can help doctors spot a condition that causes too much thirst and urination (diabetes insipidus) early. It may lead to better care for children in the ICU.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 4 weeks–18 years - NCT06738394Recruiting
Exercise study for older adults with kidney disease
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help older adults with chronic kidney disease improve their physical function and stay active. You have to be able to do exercise and not be on dialysis.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 65–100 - NCT06740162Recruiting
Physical activity program for adults with intellectual disabilities
This study tests a program to help adults with intellectual disabilities become more physically active. You and your caregiver will work with a coach to increase your daily movement, with the goal of improving health and community connection.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06742437Recruiting
Study of a new sperm preparation method
This study tests a new method for preparing sperm to help with fertility treatments. It is for men who can provide a semen sample and have no active infections or history of certain viruses.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–60 - NCT06741072RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine to prevent EBV-related cancer in transplant patients
This trial tests a vaccine (OSU-2131) that may help prevent cancers caused by the Epstein-Barr virus in people waiting for an organ transplant. The vaccine is designed to train your immune system to fight the virus.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT06738797Recruiting
SPHERTEST test to predict immunotherapy response for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests whether a lab test (SPHERTEST) can predict how well patients with advanced bladder or urinary tract cancer respond to immunotherapy treatments. If you are starting immunotherapy for this cancer, you may be eligible.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06738303RecruitingPhase 2
Cabazitaxel with or without carboplatin vs lutetium PSMA for prostate cancer
This trial compares two treatment approaches for advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. One group gets chemotherapy (cabazitaxel with or without carboplatin) and the other gets a targeted radiation therapy (177Lu-PSMA-617). The goal is to see which works better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 19 years+ - NCT03830788Recruiting
Radiation options for early prostate cancer-related erections
This study compares two radiation treatments—seed brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy—to see which better preserves erections in men with early- to mid-risk prostate cancer. It’s designed to help patients understand how different curative radiation choices can affect sexual function.
AlbiAges 18 years+ - NCT05283512Recruiting
IV versus drink fluids to protect kidneys after CT scan
This study compares giving fluids through a vein versus drinking fluids to lower the risk of sudden kidney injury after a CT scan with contrast dye. It focuses on adults with very poor kidney function who are scheduled for an elective CT scan.
Odense C, FynAges 18 years+ - NCT06130046Recruiting
Study of MR-proADM as a biomarker for kidney and liver transplant
This trial is testing a simple blood biomarker called MR-proADM to see if it can help doctors detect early signs of transplant rejection or poor kidney function after a kidney or liver transplant.
RomeAges 18–70 - NCT06462963Recruiting
Single vs multiple radiation doses for cancer spread

AalstAges Any age - NCT06691776Recruiting
Adaptive radiotherapy for five cancer types
This trial tests whether a newer type of daily CT scan (CBCT-guided adaptive radiotherapy) can safely and accurately deliver radiation to cancers of the prostate, cervix, bladder, lung, or head and neck. The goal is to better target the tumor and reduce side effects.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06731348Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Pain pill options after pelvic surgery
This trial compares two different amounts of opioid pain pills after surgery for women with pelvic floor problems. The goal is to see if a lower dose still provides good pain relief and keeps patients satisfied.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06733350RecruitingPhase 4
Testosterone therapy for low testosterone in men with low-risk prostate cancer
This study tests whether testosterone replacement therapy can safely improve low testosterone levels in men with low-risk prostate cancer who are not getting immediate treatment. It aims to help men feel better without worsening their cancer.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06732349Recruiting
Urine Tests for Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3
This study looks at new urine tests to help monitor chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3. The goal is to find better ways to track kidney health and potentially slow the disease.
