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+ - NCT06719089Recruiting
Testing a new biodegradable stent for kidney stone surgery
This trial is testing a new type of temporary tube (stent) that dissolves on its own after being placed in the ureter following kidney stone surgery. It looks at how safe and well the stent works to keep the ureter open while healing.
Aveiro, Aveiro DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT06717698RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new medicine for kidney damage in chronic kidney disease
This study tests different doses of an investigational medicine (NNC0519-0130) to see if it can reduce kidney damage in people with chronic kidney disease. It may be an option for you if you have kidney impairment and either have or don't have type 2 diabetes.
San Dimas, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06721143RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AION-301 for chronic kidney disease
This trial tests an experimental drug called AION-301 for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The goal is to see if it's safe and may help slow kidney decline. It's given by IV infusion and compared to a placebo (inactive infusion).
Miami, FloridaAges 35–75 - NCT06717295Recruiting
Blood test to find cancer early and track treatment
This study uses a blood test that looks at your platelets and immune cells to find common cancers early, and for certain cancers, to monitor how well treatment is working.
RosarioAges 40–75 - NCT06723392RecruitingPhase 3
Treating bladder bacteria in pregnancy to prevent infections
This trial tests if a common antibiotic can safely treat bacteria in the urine of pregnant women who have no symptoms, to see if it prevents later infections. It focuses on women in low- and middle-income countries.
Dhaka, BangladeshAges 18–49 - NCT00929006RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing progesterone effects on hormone timing during sleep in teens
This early-phase study tests whether a progesterone medicine can change when “luteinizing hormone” (a puberty-related hormone) pulses during wake versus sleep. It focuses on pubertal girls with either normal or higher-than-expected testosterone levels to see how their hormone timing responds.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 10–17 - NCT03068910RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of hormone timing in teens with high androgens
This early study looks at how certain “male-type” hormones and brain signals (measured through hormone patterns during the day and night) work in adolescent girls with high androgen levels. It may help researchers better understand causes like PCOS and related hormone timing differences.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 10–17 - NCT04723862RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Spironolactone to test sleep hormone patterns in teen girls
This early-phase study tests whether spironolactone can “normalize” a key hormone timing pattern during sleep and wake cycles in mid-to-late pubertal girls who have high male-hormone levels. The goal is to learn how this medicine may affect hormone rhythms related to conditions like PCOS.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 10–17 - NCT05123625Recruiting
Testing lymph node removal during bladder cancer surgery
This study looks at whether removing nearby lymph nodes during radical cystectomy (bladder removal) improves outcomes for people with high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help doctors choose the best surgical approach to reduce the chance of cancer coming back.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06720597Recruiting
Testing a device for blood vessel health in erectile dysfunction
This study tests a device called EndoPAT to check how well the blood vessels in your penis are working. It may help doctors better understand erectile dysfunction or low testosterone.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06726421RecruitingPhase 3
Systemic therapy with or without radiation for kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots
This trial compares standard systemic therapy (medication) alone versus systemic therapy plus targeted radiation to the cancer spots for people with kidney cancer that has spread to a limited number of places (up to 5 spots). It aims to see if adding radiation helps control the cancer better.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06721260Recruiting
Testing metabolism in bladder cancer patients
This trial checks how the body's energy use (metabolism) changes in bladder cancer patients receiving chemotherapy before bladder removal surgery. The goal is to better understand how treatment affects the body.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06724159Recruiting
Study of funded drugs for genitourinary cancers
This study looks at how well newer funded cancer drugs work for people with cancers of the urinary or reproductive systems, such as bladder, prostate, or kidney cancer. Researchers want to learn about real-world outcomes based on routine care in hospitals across Spain.
Albacete, AlbaceteAges 18 years+ - NCT06723938Recruiting
Understanding genetic causes of differences in sex development
This study looks at the genetic and physical traits of people with 46,XY DSD (differences in sex development). It aims to better understand the causes and improve care.
Bologna, BolognaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06723665Enrolling by invitation
PET/CT scan for prostate cancer patients
This study uses a special type of PET/CT scan called 18F-PSMA-1007 to take detailed pictures of prostate cancer. It's for people who might have prostate cancer, have been diagnosed, or need to check how their cancer is doing after treatment.
Wuxi, JiangsuAges 40–75 - NCT06724588Enrolling by invitation
Bacteria and drug resistance in people with repeat UTIs
This study looks at bacteria in urine samples from people who get frequent urinary tract infections and have a certain type of catheter. It aims to learn why some bacteria are hard to treat and may help improve care for patients like you.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06717711RecruitingPhase 3
Shockwave therapy for penis recovery after prostate cancer surgery
This trial tests if low-intensity shockwaves can help men regain erectile function after robot-assisted prostate surgery. If you had nerve-sparing surgery and have good erections before treatment, this may help you recover faster.
Rome, RMAges 18–75 - NCT06718894Recruiting
New treatment strategy for primary podocytopathies
This trial is testing a new treatment approach for people with certain kidney diseases called podocytopathies (like FSGS and MCD). It may help if you have active disease, even after a kidney transplant, or if you have another type of kidney inflammation.
MilanAges Any age - NCT06719206Recruiting
Reducing sitting time during cancer treatment
This study looks at helping people with breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer who are starting or have recently started treatment (like chemo or radiation) to sit less and move more during their treatment. If you are treated at a hospital in Uppsala or Västerås, Sweden, you may be able to join.
UppsalaAges 18 years+ - NCT06721975Recruiting
Laser vs laser for kidney stone removal
This trial compares two different lasers used to break up kidney stones during a procedure called flexible ureteroscopy. It may help determine which laser works better and is safer.
