Stem cells vs placebo for acute kidney injury
This trial tests whether donor stem cells (HB-adMSCs) can help patients with acute kidney injury from trauma, burns, or crush injuries. It aims to see if the treatment improves kidney function compared to a placebo.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT06651359Recruiting
Mobile health app for Black prostate cancer survivors
This study tests a mobile health app (mHealth) designed to help Black prostate cancer survivors improve their quality of life. It aims to see if using the app can make daily life better after treatment.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06655857Recruiting
Kidney transplant empowerment program
This study tests a program to help people with advanced kidney disease learn about and prepare for a kidney transplant. It is for patients who get kidney care at certain hospitals in New York and speak English or Spanish.
New York, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT06649357Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for enlarged prostate: electric vs. laser
This study compares two common surgeries for an enlarged prostate: a traditional electric loop resection and a laser enucleation (Moses HoLEP). The goal is to see if one offers better symptom relief and fewer side effects.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges Any age - NCT06650579RecruitingPhase 3
Heart safety study of relugolix vs leuprolide for prostate cancer
This trial compares two hormone therapy combinations for men with prostate cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if a newer oral medication (Relugolix) plus abiraterone works better than the standard injectable therapy (Lupron) plus abiraterone, while also checking heart safety.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06648044Recruiting
Finding new treatments for kidney ciliopathies
This study aims to find new treatment targets for nephronophthisis and related kidney ciliopathies. Researchers will collect blood and urine samples from people with these conditions, their healthy relatives, and other volunteers to better understand the disease.
La DefenseAges Any age - NCT06653738RecruitingPhase 3
Testing empagliflozin and diet advice for kidney stone prevention
This trial tests if a medication called empagliflozin, combined with personalized diet advice, can help prevent kidney stones from coming back. It may be an option if you've had two or more kidney stone events in the last 10 years and your stones were mostly calcium-based.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05802121RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a gut bacteria supplement side effects during prostate hormone therapy
This early-phase study looks at how changing gut bacteria (especially Akkermansia) affects metabolic side effects in men starting prostate hormone therapy (ADT). It may help researchers understand how to reduce or manage side effects for people on ADT.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06644755RecruitingPhase 1
First-in-human study of DS-2243a for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new drug called DS-2243a for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It targets a specific protein found in some cancers, and you need to have a particular immune system marker for it to work.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06637423RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of sacituzumab tirumotecan for low-grade bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug called sacituzumab tirumotecan for people with low-grade bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the bladder muscle. The goal is to see if it can help shrink or control the tumors.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06636526Recruiting
