Comparing Sizes of Ureteroscopes for Kidney Stone Laser Treatment
This study compares two different sizes of flexible ureteroscopes to treat kidney and upper ureter stones using a laser. The goal is to see which size works better while keeping similar stone-breaking power.

Heated socks during bladder tumor surgery to prevent hypothermia
This study tests whether wearing heated socks during bladder tumor surgery helps keep your body temperature stable and your vital signs normal. Patients who are comfortable with heated socks and meet other health criteria may join.
Samsun, Atakum/SamsunAges 20–90 - NCT06989320Recruiting
Oxalate production in calcium oxalate stone formers
This study looks at how the body makes oxalate (a natural substance that can form kidney stones) in people who have had calcium oxalate stones. You will eat a special diet and stop supplements for a short time to help researchers understand stone formation.

Storytelling study for parents of children with urogenital conditions
This study tests whether guided journaling (writing or dictating stories) can help parents cope and connect. It involves a 5-week journaling activity and one follow-up interview.

Comparing two dialysis filters for sepsis patients
This trial tests whether a newer, higher-performing dialysis filter helps people with kidney failure and sepsis better than the standard filter. It focuses on patients with high levels of inflammation (measured by a marker called interleukin-6).
Dusit, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06990542RecruitingPhase 2
Focused radiation therapy for intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a more precise radiation therapy that targets tumors seen on MRI or special scans, aiming to treat prostate cancer while reducing side effects. It is for men who have not had prostate surgery or previous radiation to the area.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06990880RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of GSK5458514 alone or with other drugs for prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug, GSK5458514, either alone or with other cancer treatments, for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies. The goal is to see if the drug can slow down the cancer.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06991868Recruiting
Urine test to monitor for urothelial cancer recurrence
This study uses a urine test to detect small amounts of cancer DNA (microscopic residual disease) after treatment, to see if it can catch a recurrence earlier than standard scans or cystoscopy. It includes four groups of people with different types and stages of urothelial cancer (in the kidney, ureter, or bladder) to see how well the test works for each group.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1.5 years+ - NCT06992232RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation or surgery plus hormone therapy for prostate cancer that has spread
This trial tests whether giving intense hormone therapy along with either radiation or surgery can help men with prostate cancer that has spread to a limited number of spots (10 or fewer) but not to organs like the liver or lungs. The goal is to treat both the main tumor and the visible metastatic spots more aggressively.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06992986Recruiting
Urine Bacteria in Bladder Cancer vs. Other Conditions
This study compares the bacteria in urine of men with bladder cancer to those with other urinary issues and healthy men. For bladder cancer patients, it looks at differences before a planned surgery to remove the bladder.
RomeAges 50–70 - NCT06994845RecruitingPhase 3
Testing iptacopan for children with IgA nephropathy
This study tests a new medicine called iptacopan to see if it helps children with IgA nephropathy (a kidney disease). Kids who join will receive the study treatment and be monitored for safety and effectiveness.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 2–18 - NCT06995664Recruiting
Higher radiation dose for kidney cancer that has spread
This trial tests whether giving a higher radiation dose to some tumors can help control kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. It is for people who cannot have surgery to remove these tumors and are already receiving other treatments.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06996587Recruiting
Robot vs manual scope for kidney stone removal
This trial compares a robotic system to a manual tool for removing kidney stones. It aims to see which method works better for people with normal kidney anatomy.
BeirutAges 18 years+ - NCT06998862RecruitingPhase 3
Colchicine for people with chronic kidney disease
This trial tests whether colchicine, a drug that reduces inflammation, can help prevent further heart problems or strokes in people with moderate chronic kidney disease. You may be eligible if you have kidney disease and have had a heart attack, stroke, or related event in the past.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–99 - NCT07000656Recruiting
Bladder training device for children with urinary problems
This trial tests a device that helps children with nighttime bedwetting, daytime urine leaks, or frequent urgent urination by teaching them to relax and control their bladder. It aims to improve symptoms without medication.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 5–18 - NCT07001241RecruitingPhase 2
Telehealth exercise for fatigue in rural cancer survivors
This study tests a 12-week home exercise program delivered via video calls, designed to help reduce fatigue and improve physical function in people who have finished treatment for breast or prostate cancer and live in rural areas.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–89 - NCT07001436RecruitingPhase 1
Azvudine in people with mild to moderate kidney disease
This study tests how the drug azvudine works in people with mild to moderate kidney disease compared to healthy people. It helps researchers understand if the dose needs to be adjusted for your kidneys.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07001709RecruitingPhase 4
How abiraterone affects oxycodone in prostate cancer
This study looks at how a common prostate cancer drug (abiraterone) affects how the body processes a painkiller (oxycodone). Men with prostate cancer who take abiraterone will be compared with those who do not, to see if the painkiller works differently.
Deventer, OverijsselAges 18 years+ - NCT07002320RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing SX-682 plus apalutamide for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (SX-682 and apalutamide) for men with metastatic prostate cancer that is no longer responding to standard hormone therapy. The goal is to see if adding SX-682 can help apalutamide work better.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07004582Recruiting
