- NCT07869836RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing new drug to standard chemo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new targeted drug, BL-M07D1, against standard chemotherapy in people with advanced bladder cancer that has grown after immunotherapy. It may offer a new treatment option for those with a specific protein (HER2) on their cancer cells.
Macon, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04642027RecruitingPhase 3
PSMA scan-guided salvage radiation after prostate surgery
This trial tests whether using a specialized PSMA PET scan to guide radiation can better treat prostate cancer that returns after prostate surgery. It targets the “prostate bed” area with a shorter, stronger radiation schedule (hypofractionated) to control rising PSA levels.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18–80 - NCT07864194Recruiting
Suction vs standard stone removal for kidney stones
This trial compares two ways of removing kidney stones during a procedure called ureterorenoscopy (a tube with a camera is used to reach and remove the stone). The aim is to see if using suction during the procedure helps remove stones more effectively than the standard method.
Çorum, ÇorumAges 18–75 - NCT07853677Recruiting
How extra myoglobin levels affect kidney recovery in severe muscle damage
This study looks at whether clearing more of a muscle protein called myoglobin from the blood helps kidneys recover faster in people with severe muscle breakdown and kidney injury. Your existing medical records will be used; no extra tests or visits are needed.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07863986Recruiting
Studying response to lutetium therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial looks at people with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and chemotherapy. It tests a radioactive medicine (lutetium-177 PSMA) that targets prostate cancer cells, to see what factors predict a good response.
KaunasAges 18 years+ - NCT07874087Enrolling by invitation
Kidney stones in children: risks and causes
This study looks at children who have had kidney stones or a related condition called nephrocalcinosis. It aims to learn why these happen in children and what risks or causes are involved, which may help improve care.
Milan, MilanoAges birth–18 years - NCT07866209Recruiting
Comparing two devices for kidney stone surgery
This trial compares two different tubes used during surgery to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see if one type works better than the other for clearing stones safely.
Antalya, MuratpasaAges 18 years+ - NCT06041555Recruiting
MRI-guided radiotherapy study for five cancer types
This study collects MRI scans and treatment data from patients getting MRI-guided radiotherapy for certain cancers. It aims to improve radiation treatment planning using imaging and biological information.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06223295Recruiting
Focal therapy for medium-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a gentler treatment called focal therapy that targets only the part of the prostate with cancer. It's for men whose prostate cancer has a Gleason score of 7, low PSA, and hasn't spread outside the prostate.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 45 years+ - NCT06269536Recruiting
Stress reduction program for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a stress-reducing program for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to see if lowering stress can help with treatment outcomes and quality of life.
BratislavaAges 18 years+ - NCT07866872Enrolling by invitation
Blood volume monitoring for dialysis patients with fluid overload
This study tests whether using a device that monitors blood volume during dialysis can help manage fluid overload and reduce hospital readmissions for patients with kidney failure.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07860528Recruiting
High-dose brachytherapy for prostate cancer that has returned
This trial tests a type of radiation therapy called high-dose-rate brachytherapy, which is given to men whose prostate cancer has come back after their first treatment. It aims to control the cancer while keeping side effects low.
Benidorm, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT07873372Enrolling by invitation
Kidney protection with vitamin C and rutin during vancomycin treatment
This trial tests whether taking vitamin C and rutin (a plant compound) together can help protect the kidneys from damage caused by the antibiotic vancomycin. It compares this combination to vitamin C alone and to no extra supplement.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07868874Enrolling by invitation
Two versus four weeks of stent before ureteroscopy
This study compares leaving a ureteral stent in place for two weeks versus four weeks before a second procedure to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see which waiting time makes the second procedure easier and safer.
Islamabad, FedralAges 18–65 - NCT03742011Recruiting
Study of babies born to mothers with PCOS in Guangzhou
This study looks at children born to mothers who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It aims to learn about their health by following families in Guangzhou over time.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Up to 18 years - NCT06270043Recruiting
Focal therapy study for early-stage prostate cancer
This study is tracking men who choose focal therapy (a targeted treatment) for their localized prostate cancer. It aims to learn how well this treatment works and how it affects quality of life.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06277427Recruiting
CAR-T cell therapy for refractory vasculitis and lupus nephritis
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy called CAR-T cells that target BCMA (a protein on certain immune cells) for people with two autoimmune diseases: ANCA-associated vasculitis and lupus nephritis. It is for patients whose disease has not responded to standard treatments or has come back after initial improvement.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT06278506Recruiting
Comparing surgery versus ablation for small kidney tumors
This trial compares two standard treatments for small kidney tumors: removing the tumor surgically (resection) or destroying it with heat or cold (ablation). The goal is to see which approach works better for tumors 3 cm or smaller.
StockholmAges 18–99 - NCT04612907Recruiting
Radiation timing options for low-burden metastatic prostate cancer
This study compares different radiation schedules to the main prostate tumor in men with low-burden metastatic (spread) hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. It may help find a radiation timing approach that controls the cancer while balancing side effects.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT05917795Recruiting
Endoscopic stomach reduction for weight loss before kidney transplant
This trial tests an endoscopic procedure that helps reduce stomach size to support weight loss in people with severe kidney disease who may need a kidney transplant. It may help some patients meet transplant-center weight requirements and potentially improve readiness for transplant care.
RomeAges 18–70 - NCT07857200Recruiting
Identify kidney disease early with health coaching
This study uses a risk score to find people who may develop chronic kidney disease (CKD) and tests different ways to help them get the care they need. The goal is to catch kidney problems early and slow them down.
Portland, OregonAges 18–80 - NCT07853755Recruiting
Pelvic muscle training with mental practice for bladder leaks after menopause
This study tests whether adding mental practice (imagining the exercises) to standard pelvic floor muscle training helps postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise) improve their symptoms. It aims to see if this extra mental approach makes the training more effective.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 45–65 - NCT07874074Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up study for children with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 treated with lumasiran
This study follows children who have primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) and are being treated with lumasiran. The goal is to monitor their health and treatment progress over time.

Combination treatment for primary membranous nephropathy
This trial tests a combination of two medications, rituximab and cyclosporine, for people with primary membranous nephropathy, a kidney disease that causes protein in the urine. The goal is to see if this combination can reduce protein loss and improve kidney function, potentially preserving kidney health.
