Recruiting studies4,387 total
- NCT06397755Recruiting
Study of patients with prostate biopsy or prostate removal surgery
This study looks at patients who have had a prostate biopsy or surgery to remove the prostate (radical prostatectomy). It aims to learn more about these procedures and how patients are doing.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06397287Recruiting
Urology patient feedback study
This study gathers information from urology patients using digital tools like email or apps. Your feedback could help improve care for others with urology conditions.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05539677Recruiting
Research biobank and patient registry for aggressive solid tumors
This study builds a biobank and patient registry using tumor samples and blood. It helps researchers better understand aggressive cancers and may improve future treatments by testing immune (defense) responses.
Saint PetersburgAges 1 year+ - NCT05558111Recruiting
Brain and bladder study after sigmoid bladder surgery
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how the brain controls bladder function after you’ve had a sigmoid “neobladder” surgery. You may be able to take part if you’re well enough for MRI and don’t have certain brain, mental health, or urinary conditions.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06398977Recruiting
Dapagliflozin to protect kidney function in dialysis patients
This trial tests whether a diabetes drug called dapagliflozin can help people on peritoneal dialysis keep their remaining kidney function longer. It is for patients who started dialysis recently and still make urine.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT05510323RecruitingPhase 3
Immunosuppressive treatment for IgA kidney disease in stage 3–4
This trial tests whether immunosuppressive therapy (medicine that calms the immune system) helps people with IgA nephropathy and moderately to severely reduced kidney function. It is intended for adults with confirmed IgA kidney disease who still have significant protein in the urine despite standard blood-pressure kidney protection treatment.
Xi'anAges 18 years+ - NCT04754659Recruiting
Checking kidney function after EVAR stent graft for aneurysm
This study looks at how a stent graft treatment for an abdominal aortic aneurysm affects kidney function over time. It may help doctors choose the safest approach for people whose aneurysm is treated with a procedure called EVAR.
Gothenburg, VastraGotalandAges 18–90 - NCT01331668Recruiting
Kidney transplant biobank study for donors and recipients
This trial collects and stores health information and samples related to kidney transplants from both donors and recipients. It may help researchers better understand transplant outcomes and improve care in the future.
Leuven, BEAges Any age - NCT05902923Recruiting
Testing balloon and stent devices for blocked kidney or leg arteries
This trial studies how safe and well several balloon and stent devices work for treating narrowed or blocked arteries in the kidney area or the groin/upper leg. It may help patients who fit the specific artery location and device-use instructions for these treatments.
AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT03396562Recruiting
Study of early development in babies with extra sex chromosomes
This study follows infants and young children with conditions caused by having an extra sex chromosome (like XXY, XYY, or XXX) to learn how health and development unfold over time. It may help families and doctors understand what to expect and what support could be helpful.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1 month–1.1 years - NCT05562869RecruitingPhase 3
Belatacept instead of tacrolimus for early kidney graft problems
This trial looks at replacing standard anti-rejection medicines (tacrolimus, a type of CNI, plus mycophenolate and possibly prednisone) with belatacept in adults who have early kidney graft dysfunction 3–12 months after a kidney transplant. It aims to see if belatacept can control rejection and protect kidney function in the right patients.
Nantes, Loire AtlantiqueAges 18–99 - NCT05397262Recruiting
Bladder cancer treatment with radiation plus heat therapy
This trial studies adding “heat treatment” (hyperthermia) to standard bladder cancer care using radiation, sometimes with chemotherapy. It may help the radiation work better, but your eligibility depends on cancer stage, your general health, and certain heart and metal-safety issues.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT06406205RecruitingPhase 3
Study of QLG1074 for active lupus nephritis
This trial tests a new medicine called QLG1074 added to standard treatments for people with active lupus nephritis, a kidney problem caused by lupus. It aims to see if the combination helps control the disease better.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05204212Recruiting
Heart procedure to close an atrial clot risk pouch in kidney failure
This trial tests a heart procedure that closes a part of the heart called the left atrial appendage to help prevent stroke in people with an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) and very advanced kidney disease. It’s mainly for patients who can take the needed blood-thinner medicines and who do not already have a clot in that pouch.
Lübeck, Schleswig-HolsteinAges 18 years+ - NCT06224218Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for enlarged prostate
This trial compares two types of surgery for men with an enlarged prostate (BPH) whose symptoms haven't improved with medication. The goal is to see which procedure works better.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–88 - NCT06249373Recruiting
Low-intensity ultrasound to help new fistula mature
This study tests whether low-intensity ultrasound (LIPUS) can help a new arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in the wrist mature faster and work better for dialysis. It may be a good fit if you are an adult with a new fistula that hasn't been used yet.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06416761Recruiting
Genetics and kidney disease progression study
This study looks at how genetics affect the progression of kidney diseases. Joining may help researchers understand your condition better and find better treatments.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07851454Recruiting
Walnuts for heart and kidney health in chronic kidney disease
This trial tests whether eating walnuts every day can help protect the heart and kidneys in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help improve blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar control.
Reus, TarragonaAges 45–75 - NCT03108196Recruiting
Tested neobladder type after bladder cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways surgeons rebuild a new bladder using either sigmoid colon tissue or ileum (small intestine) tissue. It aims to see which option is safer and works better for people having bladder cancer surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–100 - NCT07852871Recruiting
MicroRNA test for small testicular masses
This study looks at whether a blood test for microRNAs can help decide if a small testicular mass (a lump or growth) needs surgery or can be safely watched. It aims to avoid unnecessary surgery for benign masses.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07853209RecruitingPhase 3
A study of a radioactive drug for men with metastatic prostate cancer
This study tests a new radioactive drug (called [177Lu]Ludotadipep) that targets a molecule on prostate cancer cells. It may help slow cancer growth in men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy.
Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT07851220RecruitingPhase 3
Study of inebilizumab for primary membranous nephropathy
This study tests a new medicine called inebilizumab for people with primary membranous nephropathy, a kidney disease. The medicine may help reduce protein in the urine and protect kidney function.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–79 - NCT04694924Recruiting
Prostate cancer patient registry to track experiences
This study builds a database of people with localized or locally advanced prostate cancer to better understand patient-reported outcomes (your experiences and quality-of-life). It may help improve future care by collecting consistent feedback from patients.
Dendermonde, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT06425224RecruitingPhase 3
TENS therapy for premature ejaculation
This trial tests if a painless electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) treatment can help men with premature ejaculation last longer and feel more in control. It's for men who have had this condition for at least 6 months and are in a stable relationship.
