CAR-T Cell Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Lupus
This study tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T cells) designed to target and reduce the immune cells driving lupus in patients whose disease hasn't responded to standard treatments. Researchers will first identify which specific immune cells are causing your lupus, then engineer your own immune cells to fight them.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07523529RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T Cell Therapy for Advanced Solid Tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T cells) designed to target two markers on cancer cells at once. The goal is to help patients with advanced solid tumors where standard treatments have stopped working or aren't an option.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07524101Recruiting
Statin and Ezetimibe for Heart Disease and Kidney Disease
This trial tests whether taking a moderate-strength statin (cholesterol-lowering drug) plus ezetimibe (another cholesterol medicine) together helps protect the heart and kidneys in people who have both chronic kidney disease and established heart disease or stroke history.
SeoulAges 19–85 - NCT07524426Recruiting
Local Radiation Therapy for Bladder Cancer Not Suitable for Surgery
This trial tests whether focused radiation therapy directed at the bladder can help patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are not candidates for surgical removal or have chosen not to have surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can control the cancer and improve quality of life.
Umeå, Västerbotten CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07524439Recruiting
Beta-glucan cream for incontinence-related skin irritation
This study tests whether a special cream containing beta-glucan (a natural ingredient) can soothe and protect skin damaged by urine or stool leakage. You'd apply the cream during a hospital stay of at least one week to see if it helps healing.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07529288Recruiting
Traditional medicine approaches for male infertility
This study explores how traditional medicine may help treat a specific type of male infertility where sperm count is low, movement is poor, and shape is abnormal. Researchers will evaluate whether traditional medicine approaches can improve these sperm problems.
Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18–60 - NCT07529717RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early-stage study of AZD8359 for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new experimental drug (AZD8359) designed to target prostate cancer cells in men whose cancer has progressed despite previous treatments. The drug works by directing immune cells to attack cancer cells.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT07531329Recruiting
Delayed PSMA imaging to detect aggressive prostate cancer
This study tests whether a special type of imaging scan (PSMA PET/CT with delayed imaging) can better identify aggressive prostate cancer in men who haven't had a biopsy yet. The goal is to help doctors decide who really needs a biopsy and avoid unnecessary procedures.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT07531966Recruiting
Blood Vessel Problems After Kidney Transplant Treatment
This study looks at treating narrowing or blockage of blood vessels in transplanted kidneys. If your transplanted kidney is showing signs of not working well and imaging shows a blocked vessel, this trial tests whether a procedure called angioplasty (opening the vessel with a tiny balloon) can help restore blood flow and improve kidney function.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07535281Recruiting
Kidney Stone Surgery Technique and Recovery Study
This study tests a technique during kidney stone removal surgery (RIRS) where the surgeon fully drains the kidney system at the end of the procedure. Researchers want to see if this approach improves how quickly patients recover and reduces complications.
Gandong-gu, Outside U.S./CanadaAges 20–80 - NCT07535320Recruiting
What Dialysis Treatment Do Patients Prefer?
This research study asks patients with advanced kidney disease about their preferences for different dialysis treatment options before starting treatment. Your feedback helps doctors understand what matters most to patients when choosing how to manage their kidney disease.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT07535385Recruiting
Kidney Artery Blocking Treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease
This study follows patients with a genetic kidney disease (autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease) who are on dialysis and receive a procedure to block blood flow to their enlarged kidneys. Researchers will track how well the procedure works and how it affects patients over time using imaging scans.
Pavia, LombardyAges 18–75 - NCT07535541Recruiting
Smartwatch Study of Hot Flashes in Prostate Cancer Patients
This study tests whether a smartwatch can accurately measure hot flashes (sudden heat and sweating) that occur in men undergoing hormone therapy for prostate cancer. You'll wear the smartwatch for about 4 weeks while the research team tracks your symptoms.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07535619Recruiting
Microbiota study in children with and without overactive bladder
This research study compares the bacteria in urine, around the genital area, and in stool between children with overactive bladder (frequent urgent need to urinate) and healthy children. The goal is to understand if differences in these bacteria might explain why some children develop overactive bladder.
AalborgAges 5–17 - NCT07536035Recruiting
Comparing Hospital Care Pathways for Acute Medical Illness
This study compares two different hospital care pathways for adults admitted with acute medical emergencies like infections, falls, or COPD flare-ups. The goal is to see which pathway provides more appropriate and effective care.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07540260Recruiting
