Testing antibiotic timing before bladder Botox injections
This study looks at whether taking antibiotics shortly before bladder Botox injections affects outcomes for people with overactive bladder. It aims to clarify what to do about antibiotic use before treatment.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05740579Recruiting
Storing eggs in teens with Turner syndrome variants
This study looks at freezing and storing eggs (cryopreservation) in children and teens with Turner syndrome or related genetic variants. It may help preserve the chance of having biological children later, if you are able to undergo the study procedures safely.
AarhusAges 2–17 - NCT06423976Recruiting
Studying microbes in prostate cancer tumors
This trial collects tumor samples from men with prostate cancer to study the bacteria and other microbes inside the tumor. It aims to learn how these microbes might affect the cancer and treatment.
Sutton, SurreyAges 18 years+ - NCT05597540RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter antibiotics for kidney transplant kidney infections
This study compares giving antibiotics for 7 days versus 14 days to treat acute kidney infections (pyelonephritis) in people with kidney transplants. It aims to see if the shorter course works just as well and is safer or easier to complete.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06399419RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CBM588 with immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding a probiotic (CBM588) to a standard immunotherapy combination (nivolumab and ipilimumab) helps treat advanced kidney cancer. It is for people with a specific type of kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery, who have not had systemic treatment before.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06441110RecruitingPhase 3
BCG instillation for medium- to high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests whether a specific schedule of BCG (a weakened germ that boosts the immune system) placed directly into the bladder is safe and effective for medium- to high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't grown into the muscle. It aims to see if adjusting the standard BCG course can work better for people with a PD-L1-positive tumor.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05839314RecruitingPhase 4
Huaier granules for idiopathic membranous nephropathy with PLA2R
This trial studies whether Huaier granules can improve kidney disease activity in people with “idiopathic membranous nephropathy” who test positive for PLA2R antibodies and are still not in remission. Participants will also have been on standard blood-pressure/kidney-protecting treatment (called RASI) for at least 4 weeks.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07847190RecruitingPhase 2
Adding paclitaxel to standard chemotherapy for tough testicular cancer
This trial tests if adding a drug called paclitaxel to the standard chemotherapy combination (BEP) can improve outcomes for people with aggressive testicular cancer. It is for those whose tumor markers did not drop as fast as expected after the first round of chemo.
MoscowAges 16 years+ - NCT07842575Recruiting
Questionnaire to measure fear of movement due to urinary incontinence
This study is testing a new questionnaire that measures fear of movement related to urinary incontinence. By answering questions, you can help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
Kırşehir, KırşehirAges 18 years+ - NCT07848828RecruitingPhase 4
Blood pressure and kidney study for prostate cancer treatment
This study looks at how a common prostate cancer treatment called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) affects blood pressure and kidney function. It may help doctors understand and manage these side effects better.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 40 years+ - NCT07849088RecruitingPhase 2
Chinese herbal medicine to protect kidneys during radiation therapy
This study tests a traditional Chinese herbal medicine (called Zhixiao Tongmai Ning) to see if it can protect your kidneys from damage caused by radiation therapy. If you have kidney cancer and are receiving radiation, this treatment might help keep your healthy kidney tissue working better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07848854RecruitingPhase 2
New imaging test to spot bladder cancer during surgery
This trial tests a special dye that binds to bladder cancer cells and makes them glow during surgery. It may help doctors find and remove the cancer more completely.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–80 - NCT07847385Recruiting
MRI-guided nerve-sparing for prostate cancer surgery
This study tests whether using special MRI scans to map nerves before surgery helps keep erectile function after prostate removal. It may help men who are having surgery for prostate cancer and want to preserve sexual function.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT03283852Recruiting
Genetic study for certain childhood hormone and development disorders
This study looks for new genetic causes of certain “development disorders” that involve hormone problems and how the body develops at puberty. It may help families understand the root cause, which can guide future care and testing.
ParisAges Any age - NCT05739968Recruiting
Active living program for early bladder cancer patients with their own bladder
This trial tests whether a structured “active-living” program (helping you be more active in daily life) improves outcomes for people newly diagnosed with operable early bladder cancer. It may help with overall health and quality of life while you receive standard bladder cancer care without removing your bladder.
TaipeiAges Any age - NCT03955172Recruiting
Test of everolimus to reduce transplant rejection
This trial studies whether everolimus can improve outcomes for people whose kidney transplant biopsy shows signs of a specific type of immune attack. It focuses on patients without certain antibodies and with particular biopsy findings, aiming to prevent rejection-related injury while balancing medication side effects.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06443268Recruiting
Stroke and quality of life study with caregivers
This study looks at quality of life for people who have had a recent stroke or mini-stroke, and their caregivers. You and a close relative or friend both take part in interviews and surveys over time.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05709028RecruitingPhase 3
Fosfomycin for drug-resistant bladder infections in children
This trial tests whether fosfomycin works better than the usual treatment for children with urine infections caused by antibiotic-resistant germs. It may help by using an antibiotic choice that can still work when common oral options may fail.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 6 months–17 years - NCT06449664Recruiting
Exercise program for men on hormone therapy for prostate cancer
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help men with prostate cancer stay stronger and feel better during combined radiation and hormone therapy. You may be able to join if you are about to start these treatments and are otherwise healthy enough to exercise.
StockholmAges 50–80 - NCT05563558RecruitingPhase 2
Testing pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for aggressive metastatic prostate cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests pembrolizumab together with carboplatin and cabazitaxel in men with aggressive, metastatic prostate cancer that has become resistant to hormone therapy. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes for people with hard-to-treat forms of prostate cancer.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06454396Recruiting
Treating blocked dialysis fistulas from inside the blood vessel
This trial tests a new way to reopen blocked or narrowed fistulas (the blood vessels used for dialysis) in people on hemodialysis. The goal is to see how well it works and if it saves money compared to other treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04360694Recruiting
Testing a step-up hemodialysis schedule for new dialysis patients
This trial studies whether starting hemodialysis in a gradual “step-up” way is safe and works well for adults who are newly starting maintenance dialysis for advanced kidney failure. If you qualify, you may be assigned to a specific dialysis start plan and be closely monitored.
BariAges 18 years+ - NCT05814250Recruiting
Ultrasound in children after a first bladder infection
This trial studies whether doing an ultrasound scan after a child’s first febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) is useful. The goal is to see which children might need further attention based on the scan.
FlorenceAges 2 months–3 years - NCT04615065Recruiting
Biobank study collecting emergency data for very sick patients
This study collects health and sometimes blood sample information from people arriving at the emergency department with high-risk or serious conditions. The goal is to build a large emergency “biobank” to help researchers better understand and improve urgent care.
