Heart and blood vessel changes in women with PCOS after treatment
This trial looks at how the heart's blood vessels and certain markers change in women with PCOS when they drink a sugary solution (OGTT). It checks these markers before treatment starts and again 6 and 12 months after, to help understand cardiovascular risk in PCOS.
ChaïdáriAges 18–45 - NCT06889623Recruiting

This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy immediately after surgery can help people with high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06889948RecruitingPhase 2
Daratumumab for kidney disease caused by abnormal proteins
This trial tests if daratumumab can help people with a kidney condition called MGRS, where abnormal proteins damage the kidneys. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce protein in the urine and protect kidney function.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT06889974Recruiting
Timing of kidney treatment in tumor lysis syndrome
This study looks at when to start kidney dialysis for patients in the ICU who develop tumor lysis syndrome (a rapid breakdown of cancer cells after chemotherapy that can harm the kidneys). It aims to find the best timing for this treatment.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06890143RecruitingPhase 3
Dapagliflozin for kids with genetic kidney disease and protein in urine
This trial tests if dapagliflozin, a medication that lowers blood sugar and protects the kidneys, can reduce protein in the urine of children with inherited kidney disease. It may help preserve kidney function when added to standard blood pressure medication.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 6–18 - NCT06891209Recruiting
Life after partial bladder removal
This study looks at how people's quality of life and bladder function are affected after surgery to remove part of the bladder (partial cystectomy). It compares these results to people who had their entire bladder removed. The goal is to understand if sparing part of the bladder leads to better outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06891690Recruiting
Brain stimulation for neurological and gynecological conditions
This trial tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people with neurological problems (like weakness in arms or legs) or certain gynecological conditions (like endometriosis or painful periods) who are not using other treatments. It aims to see if tDCS can improve symptoms.
PoznanAges 18–90 - NCT06892080Recruiting
Urine leakage and hormones in women with spinal cord injury
This pilot study looks at how urine leakage (incontinence) relates to sex hormones in women with a chronic spinal cord injury. You may be able to join if you are a woman with a steady menstrual cycle and some bladder issues.
NottwilAges 18 years+ - NCT06892860RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing shorter vs longer chemo before immunotherapy for bladder cancer
This trial is testing whether 3 cycles of chemotherapy are as effective as 6 cycles before starting maintenance immunotherapy (avelumab) for people with advanced bladder cancer. The goal is to see if a shorter chemo course can reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06894628Recruiting
Genomics and extreme radiation for recurrent prostate cancer
This study looks at how well a very short course of high-dose radiation works for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. It aims to learn if genetics can help predict who benefits most from this type of radiation.
RomaAges Any age - NCT06896162Recruiting
Genetic test to guide first or second treatment for advanced cancer
This study looks at whether using a detailed genetic test of your tumor can help pick the best first or second treatment for advanced lung, colon, breast, or bladder cancer. The goal is to see if this personalized approach helps people live longer.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06896643Recruiting
Urine infections and bone surgery in older adults
This trial looks at whether having a urinary tract infection or bacteria in urine affects recovery after bone surgery. It focuses on people 65 and older who will have surgery for a broken bone or other bone problem.
ZlínAges 65 years+ - NCT06897605RecruitingPhase 2
Dapagliflozin for anemia in kidney disease
This trial tests whether a medication called dapagliflozin can help improve anemia in people with chronic kidney disease. If you have moderate to severe kidney disease and low red blood cell counts despite taking standard anemia treatment, this study may explore a new option.
Al MansurahAges 18 years+ - NCT06898216Recruiting
Comparing two tools for small kidney stones
This trial tests if a new steerable scope works better than a standard scope for removing small kidney stones (<2 cm) from the lower part of the kidney. It aims to find a safer and more effective way to treat these stones.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06898294Recruiting
Using electrical imaging to check kidney function
This study tests a new way to measure kidney function using harmless electrical signals instead of needles. It may help people with chronic kidney disease avoid frequent blood draws.
Hong KongAges 18–90 - NCT06898944Recruiting
Acute Kidney Injury: Risk Factors and Outlook
This study looks back at adults who visited certain hospitals in South Korea to understand what leads to acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) and how it affects recovery. It compares people who had this condition with similar people who did not, to identify risk factors.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT06899789Recruiting
Long-term follow-up of colitis from checkpoint inhibitors
This study follows people who developed colitis (inflammation in the colon) after receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors for cancer. Researchers want to learn about long-term effects and outcomes.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT06901245RecruitingPhase 4
Tirzepatide for young adults with obesity
This study tests the diabetes/weight-loss drug tirzepatide (Mounjaro) in young adults aged 18–26 who have obesity and either Prader-Willi syndrome, hypothalamic obesity, or general obesity. It looks at whether a weekly injection can help with weight management.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 18–26 - NCT06901960Recruiting
Monitoring high potassium with a smart ECG device in kidney disease

Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06903312RecruitingPhase 4
Removing the main kidney tumor during immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether removing or burning (ablating) the main kidney tumor helps people with advanced kidney cancer who are already doing well on immunotherapy. Researchers want to see if combining local treatment with ongoing immunotherapy can improve outcomes.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06903559RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Roxadustat for heart and nutrition in dialysis patients
