PSMA PET/CT versus MRI for mapping prostate cancer
This trial compares two imaging techniques—PSMA PET/CT and MRI—to see which one better finds and outlines prostate cancer tumors. You'll receive both scans to help doctors understand which method works best for newly diagnosed prostate cancer.
LimassolAges 18 years+ - NCT07568990Recruiting
Ureteral Access Sheaths for Kidney Stone Removal Surgery
This trial tests different types of tubes (called ureteral access sheaths) used during a minimally invasive kidney stone removal procedure called RIRS. The goal is to see which type works best and causes the least damage to your ureter (the tube that carries urine from your kidney).
Çorum, ÇorumAges 18–75 - NCT07569588Recruiting
Understanding kidney injury recovery after hospitalization
This study helps doctors better assess how well kidneys recover after acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function during hospitalization). You may be asked to participate in interviews, workshops, or have some medical measurements taken to help improve patient care.
Derby, DerbyshireAges 18–85 - NCT07569861Recruiting
Testing a blood marker to diagnose excessive thirst and urination
This study helps doctors figure out why some people drink and urinate excessively. Researchers will measure a hormone called copeptin in your blood after giving you fluids, to find out if your excessive drinking and urination is caused by a specific hormone problem (AVP deficiency) or something else.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07571551RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and targeted drug treatment for kidney cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy and targeted drugs (called IO/TKI) given before and after surgery for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (a type of kidney cancer). The goal is to shrink tumors and improve survival outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07572760Recruiting
Power Training for Men With Advanced Prostate Cancer
This study tests whether light-to-moderate strength training exercises can help men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to bones or lymph nodes. The goal is to see if exercise improves physical strength and quality of life while you continue your cancer medications.
San Vicent del Raspeig, AlicanteAges 50 years+ - NCT07572890RecruitingPhase 1
Experimental treatment study for chronic kidney disease
This research study tests an experimental treatment for people with chronic kidney disease who are not yet on dialysis. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and how it affects kidney function.
Winter Park, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07575347Recruiting
Gum Disease and Rare Kidney Disorders Study
This study explores whether people with certain rare kidney diseases or chronic kidney problems have more gum disease than others. Researchers will examine your teeth and gums to understand the connection and help improve care for people with kidney conditions.
BucharestAges 18 years+ - NCT07576205Recruiting
Pelvic Floor Exercises and Nerve Stimulation for Stress Incontinence
This study tests whether combining pelvic floor exercises (called Paula exercises) with gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in your leg can reduce involuntary urine leakage when you cough, sneeze, or exercise. It's designed for women who have had at least two vaginal deliveries and experience stress incontinence.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–45 - NCT07576283Recruiting
Core exercises for postpartum urinary leakage
This study compares two types of core-strengthening exercises designed to help women with postpartum urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). You'll be assigned to one exercise program and tracked over time to see which works better.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–35 - NCT07577817RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Safety Study of CTX001 in Healthy Adults
This early-stage study tests a new experimental drug called CTX001 in healthy volunteers to check if it is safe and well-tolerated. Researchers will also measure how your body processes the drug and how it affects certain blood markers.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18–55 - NCT07578532Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder After Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests two non-surgical treatments—magnetic and electrical nerve stimulation applied to the skin over the sacrum (base of spine)—to help control bladder overactivity in people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to reduce involuntary bladder contractions and improve bladder control.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07579312Recruiting
Blood Test for Diagnosing Belly Infections in Kids and Adults
This study tests whether a simple blood test measuring RNA levels can help doctors quickly identify intra-abdominal infections (infections inside the belly) in patients with abdominal pain. If successful, it could help doctors decide faster whether imaging or surgery is needed.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 7 years+ - NCT07580196Recruiting
Comparing lymph node removal approaches in aggressive prostate cancer
This trial compares two surgical approaches for removing lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery in men with high-risk disease on one side of the prostate. The goal is to determine whether removing lymph nodes from both sides or just one side provides better outcomes.
Rozzano, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT07581496Recruiting
Blood test to detect bladder cancer DNA after surgery
This study examines whether a simple blood test can detect cancer DNA (circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA) in patients with a specific type of bladder cancer. Detecting this DNA in blood may help doctors predict how the cancer will behave and guide future treatment decisions.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07583706Recruiting
Ultra-minimally invasive prostate dilation for BPH symptoms
This study tests a new, minimally invasive procedure to relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH). The procedure gently dilates (widens) the prostate to improve urine flow and reduce bothersome symptoms like frequent urination and weak stream.
BeijingAges 40–80 - NCT07584499RecruitingPhase 1
New drug test for children with EGFR-positive solid tumors
This study tests a new cancer drug called Becotatug Vedotin in children ages 2–18 with certain types of solid tumors (cancers that form in organs or tissues) that have an EGFR protein. The drug is designed to find tumors with this protein and attack cancer cells while sparing healthy ones.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 2–18 - NCT07585981Recruiting
Budesonide capsules for IgA kidney disease
This trial tests whether a special steroid capsule called budesonide can help treat IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease where your immune system damages the kidneys. You would take this medication along with standard care to see if it slows kidney damage and reduces protein in your urine.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07586267RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for autoimmune blood diseases
This early-stage trial tests a new type of cell therapy (CAR-T cells) designed to treat severe autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the body's own organs. The therapy targets specific immune cells (B cells) that may be causing the disease. It may help patients who haven't improved with standard treatments or can't tolerate them.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3 years+ - NCT07589413Recruiting
Blood markers and fluid absorption during bladder cancer surgery
This study looks at how fluid absorbed during bladder cancer removal surgery affects cell-free DNA (tiny pieces of cancer DNA) in your blood. Researchers want to understand if these blood markers can help predict surgery outcomes and guide treatment decisions.

CAIX-Targeted PET Imaging Scan for Tumor Diagnosis
This early-stage trial tests a new type of imaging scan (called PET) that uses a special tracer to help doctors see tumors better. The scan targets a protein called CAIX that appears on many cancer cells, which may help with accurate diagnosis and staging.
