Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06978816Recruiting
Ear pressure points plus pain meds for kidney stone relief
This study tests whether pressing specific points on the ear, along with pain medicine, can relieve kidney stone pain faster than pain medicine alone. It's designed for people with confirmed kidney stones and moderate to severe pain who haven't taken pain relievers recently.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06981377Recruiting
Prostate cancer blood test research study
This study is looking at blood samples from people with prostate cancer to better understand the disease. It may help researchers find new ways to monitor or treat prostate cancer.
Meldola, Forlì-CesenaAges 18 years+ - NCT06981585Recruiting
Physical effects in children with chronic kidney failure
This study looks at physical changes in children with chronic kidney failure compared to healthy children. If you join, you will have some physical measurements taken to help doctors understand how kidney disease affects the body.
IzmirAges 8–18 - NCT06982079RecruitingPhase 3
SGLT2 inhibitors for advanced kidney disease
This trial tests whether SGLT2 inhibitor drugs can protect kidney function in people with advanced chronic kidney disease who are not yet on dialysis. It may help slow further kidney decline.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT06982469Recruiting
High-dose radiation for prostate cancer return after surgery
This trial tests a high-dose radiation treatment (brachytherapy) that places tiny radioactive seeds directly into the area where your prostate was. It is for men whose prostate cancer has returned only in that area after having their prostate removed.
Pamplona, Foral Community of NavarreAges 18–80 - NCT06982573Recruiting
Magnetic Stimulation for Low Back Pain in Dialysis Patients
This trial tests whether magnetic stimulation can help relieve low back pain and help maintain muscle mass in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. It is for those who have moderate to severe low back pain and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06983028RecruitingPhase 2
Testing atacicept for multiple kidney diseases
This trial tests a medicine called atacicept in adults and children with several types of kidney disease. The goal is to see if it can reduce protein in the urine and help protect kidney function.
Brisbane, CaliforniaAges 2 years+ - NCT06983067Recruiting
Sentire C1000 for ureteral stricture repair
This trial tests a new medical device (Sentire C1000) for repairing a narrowed ureter (the tube that drains urine from your kidney). It may help if you need reconstructive surgery on your upper urinary tract.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06983210RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced bladder or urinary tract cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if adding AM80 to standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy works better.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 18–79 - NCT06983444Recruiting
Bipolar prostate surgery comparison for BPH
This trial compares two ways to remove prostate tissue in men with an enlarged prostate (BPH). It tests if cutting out the tissue (enucleation) works better than shaving it down (resection) to improve urine flow and symptoms.
Qina, Qena GovernorateAges 50–80 - NCT06983470Recruiting
Study on nerve responses during bladder device treatment
This trial tests how the body's nerve signals respond during a treatment for overactive bladder (OAB) that uses a device to stimulate a nerve near the tailbone. The goal is to understand how these nerve responses might predict treatment success.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06984679Recruiting
Physical function study for kids with cystic fibrosis
This trial compares physical abilities between children with cystic fibrosis and healthy children. It aims to find differences that could lead to better care and therapies.
IzmirAges 6–18 - NCT06985238Recruiting
Study of MRI for prostate cancer screening
This study tests a new MRI platform to better identify prostate issues before a biopsy. It is for people with elevated PSA whose doctor is considering a biopsy.
Rochester, New YorkAges 40–90 - NCT06986083RecruitingPhase 3
Testing changes in prostate biopsy and ablation care
This study looks at two ways to improve prostate procedures: 1) whether adding local anesthesia during a biopsy (while you’re already sedated) makes a difference, and 2) whether a standard care plan before and after focal gland ablation helps recovery compared to usual care.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06986265Recruiting
Kidney failure, weight loss, and gut health study
This study looks at how gut bacteria might affect weight loss in people with kidney failure who are on dialysis. It may help find new ways to prevent or treat weight loss in this condition.
