BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05672615Recruiting
Mood changes during bladder cancer treatment with BCG
This study looks at how bladder cancer treatment with BCG may affect mood and emotional well-being. It may help doctors understand which patients experience mood changes during care.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05792722Recruiting
Testing a prostate-sparing bladder surgery for bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a “prostate-sparing” radical cystectomy is safe and effective for bladder cancer patients who are having surgery. It aims to see if this approach can treat bladder cancer while reducing prostate-related side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05850182Recruiting
Lifestyle program for metastatic prostate cancer on hormone therapy
This trial studies whether a structured lifestyle intervention (such as exercise and related behavior changes) can benefit people with metastatic prostate cancer who are currently on hormone treatment. It may help by improving health and functioning while you continue standard cancer therapy.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06022822RecruitingPhase 2
Urolithin A supplement before prostate cancer surgery
This trial tests whether taking a supplement called urolithin A for a few weeks before prostate removal surgery can help. The supplement comes from pomegranates and may slow cancer growth. You may qualify if you have prostate cancer, are planning surgery within 3-6 weeks, and have not had prior treatment like hormone therapy.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06013865RecruitingPhase 4
Empagliflozin for kidney transplant recipients
This trial tests if empagliflozin, a diabetes medicine that also protects the kidneys, can help people who have received a kidney transplant. It may be an option if you have reduced kidney function or diabetes after transplant.
Hines, IllinoisAges 19 years+ - NCT06003348RecruitingPhase 4
Can a supplement help prevent calcium phosphate kidney stones?
This study tests a supplement called hydroxycitrate to see if it can help people who form calcium phosphate kidney stones. It may offer a new way to prevent stones from forming.
Dallas, TexasAges 21–99 - NCT06014801RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing low vs. medium continuous dialysis for kidney injury in the ICU
This study compares two intensities (low vs. medium) of continuous dialysis for people with sudden kidney failure in the ICU. It aims to find which level of treatment works best for critically ill patients.
Sendai, MiyagiAges 18 years+ - NCT06011499Recruiting
Online lifestyle program for prostate cancer survivors
This study tests an internet-based program to help prostate cancer survivors who are overweight and frail improve their health. You will be assigned to either a lifestyle coaching group or a usual care group, and both groups are followed for about 6 months.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06025734Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for bladder control in spina bifida
This study tests whether stimulating a nerve in the leg (the tibial nerve) with a small device can help children with spina bifida who leak urine even when using a catheter. The treatment is non-invasive, like a tiny electrical patch near the ankle, and aims to improve bladder control.
Dallas, TexasAges 8–18 - NCT06003556RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA-guided ablation for prostate cancer
This trial tests a targeted treatment for prostate cancer using PSMA imaging to guide ablation (removal) of the tumor. It may help men with early-stage, localized cancer that hasn't spread.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 50 years+ - NCT06018831Recruiting
Kidney screening for newborns
This study offers free urine and ultrasound screening for kidney disease in all newborn infants, with a goal to find and track potential issues early over the first 3 years of life.
Nantong, JiangsuAges Up to 6 years - NCT06009809Recruiting
Blood flow in kidney and gut arteries during heart surgery
This trial measures how blood flow changes in arteries feeding the kidney and gut while patients are on a heart-lung machine during heart surgery. It may help doctors better understand and prevent organ damage after surgery.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06004336RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy after radiation for limited spread kidney cancer
This trial tests whether giving a maintenance medication (pembrolizumab) after targeted radiation helps keep kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots (5 or fewer) from growing. You would receive radiation to each spot and then be randomly assigned to receive either the medication or a placebo (inactive substance) for up to about 2 years.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06026410RecruitingPhase 1
KO-2806 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called KO-2806, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific gene changes (like HRAS or KRAS mutations). It may help if standard treatments have stopped working.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06001827Recruiting
Study of a wrap to help new dialysis access points heal
This trial tests a special wrap placed around a new arm access point for dialysis (called an AV fistula) to see if it helps the access stay healthy and work better. It is for people who need a new AV fistula for kidney dialysis.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06022029RecruitingPhase 1
Study of injected ONM-501 alone or with cemiplimab for advanced cancers
This trial tests an injected study drug (ONM-501) alone or with another drug (cemiplimab) for people with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas that haven't responded to other treatments. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the combination helps shrink or control the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05987241RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Using a blood test to guide immunotherapy after bladder/kidney cancer surgery
This study tests whether a blood test that detects tumor DNA can help guide the use of immunotherapy (nivolumab with or without relatlimab) after surgery for urothelial cancer. The goal is to see if starting immunotherapy based on the blood test results can prevent the cancer from coming back.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05982561Recruiting
Testing a urine test for bladder cancer recurrence
This trial tests a new urine test (BCDx) to see if it can catch bladder cancer coming back in people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who are already having regular check-ups. You would give a urine sample before your routine cystoscopy, and the results may help doctors monitor your cancer more easily.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05996731Recruiting
Using RNA tests to help diagnose rare genetic diseases
This study uses RNA sequencing to find genetic causes of rare diseases that standard DNA tests might miss. It may help people who have symptoms of a rare disease but no clear genetic diagnosis yet.
