Comparing two spinal anesthetics for prostate surgery
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected near the spine) to see which one works better for patients having TURP, a common prostate surgery. You might benefit from joining because it could help improve your recovery and comfort during the procedure.
Islamabad, FederalAges 40–90 - NCT07839689Recruiting

Chengdu, SichuangAges 18–30 - NCT07836621Recruiting
Kidney surgery for children with very low function in one kidney
This study tests a surgery to repair a blockage where the kidney meets the tube to the bladder. It is for children whose affected kidney works at less than 10% of its normal capacity, aiming to improve or preserve function.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07835035RecruitingPhase 1
Combination treatment for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (rimegepant and toripalimab) for people with advanced bladder cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05280028Recruiting
Hormone treatment for overactive bladder and mood symptoms
This trial studies whether hormone treatment can improve overactive bladder symptoms, sexual well-being, mood (depressive symptoms), and body “autonomic” function (automatic body functions like heart rate and sweating) in post-menopausal women. It may help by targeting menopausal changes that can affect these symptoms.
Banqiao District, New TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06464822Recruiting
Effects of weight-loss surgery on urinary symptoms
This study looks at whether weight-loss surgery can improve urinary symptoms like needing to pee often or suddenly. It is for people with severe obesity who are already being seen at a specific clinic for bariatric surgery.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06467097RecruitingPhase 3
Drug therapy vs. drug therapy plus radiation for limited kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation to standard drug therapy helps control kidney cancer that has spread to a few spots (oligometastatic). It is for people with clear cell renal cell carcinoma who have up to 5 metastases.
SeoulAges 20–80 - NCT06461793RecruitingPhase 2
Higher dose radiation with hormone therapy for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a higher dose of radiation given in fewer sessions (hypofractionated) combined with hormone therapy for men with high-risk prostate cancer that has not spread. A gel spacer called SpaceOAR is used to protect the rectum. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT06461819RecruitingPhase 2
Higher radiation dose for low-to-intermediate prostate cancer
This trial tests if giving a higher dose of radiation in fewer sessions, while using SpaceOAR to protect the rectum, is safe for men with low-to-intermediate risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT07832292RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an investigational drug for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug (JNJ-101556143) for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. The goal is to see if this drug can slow down or stop the cancer from growing.
Lafayette, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07831824RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Imaging drug to find prostate cancer spread before or after treatment
This trial tests an imaging agent that helps find cancer that has spread beyond the prostate, either when first diagnosed or if it comes back after treatment. The goal is to see what dose works best for clear pictures.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06470646Recruiting
Endovascular treatment for dialysis graft problems
This trial studies a procedure to open up blocked or narrowed areas in the plastic tube (graft) used for dialysis. It aims to see if the procedure works well and if it is cost-effective for patients who have trouble completing dialysis because of graft issues.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07829692Recruiting
Cadence retraining for urinary incontinence in runners
This study tests an 8-week running program that adjusts your step rate to help reduce urine leakage while running. It is designed for women who have had a baby and notice leaks during runs.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07829029RecruitingPhase 4
Nighttime bladder leak treatments in older women
This study looks at whether two different bladder medications can help reduce nighttime bathroom trips and urine leaks in women with urgency incontinence. It aims to find out which treatment works better to improve sleep and quality of life.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT07833085Recruiting
Imaging test for solid tumors using a special tracer
This study tests a new imaging method that uses a special tracer to find solid tumors in the body. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly and guide treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07826858Recruiting
Special camera to guide prostate cancer surgery
This study tests a special camera that helps surgeons see prostate cancer tissue more clearly during surgery. It may help make surgery more precise, which could improve outcomes.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07832617Recruiting
3D mapping with sound waves for radiation therapy
This study tests a new imaging device that uses sound waves to create a 3D map of the area being treated with radiation therapy. It aims to help doctors target the radiation more precisely.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07828704RecruitingPhase 2
Using fluorescent dye to see kidney cancer during removal surgery
This trial tests whether a special dye, taken as a drink before surgery, makes kidney cancer cells glow under a fluorescent light. This may help surgeons remove the tumor more completely while saving healthy kidney tissue.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–75 - NCT07831252Recruiting
Blood pressure and oxygen levels during heart surgery
This study looks at how blood pressure changes during the start of open heart surgery and whether it affects oxygen levels in body tissues. It may help doctors better manage blood pressure during surgery to keep patients safe.
Istanbul, SultangaziAges 18–90 - NCT07826325Recruiting
Urgent urine drainage before kidney stone surgery
This study looks at patients who have kidney stones and a urinary tract infection that spreads to the blood. It compares two ways to drain urine urgently before the main stone removal surgery, to see which leads to better outcomes.
Banī Suwayf, Beni Suweif GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07831486Recruiting
Removing bladder stones with prostate surgery
This trial tests whether removing bladder stones together with prostate surgery improves outcomes for men with an enlarged prostate and bladder stones. It aims to see if doing both at once is better than just removing the stones.
Banī Suwayf, Beni Suweif GovernorateAges 40 years+ - NCT03755739RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Checkpoint cancer drug given into or near tumors
This trial studies whether giving immunotherapy “checkpoint inhibitor” medicine directly into the tumor area (and/or the artery feeding it), along with a chemotherapy-style drug, can work better for advanced solid tumors. It aims to boost the immune system’s ability to attack cancer while still being safe for people with measurable tumors.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05071131Recruiting
Inulin supplement to improve gut health in kidney disease
This trial studies whether taking inulin—a dietary fiber—can improve gut bacteria and the gut barrier in people with end-stage kidney disease on hemodialysis. It may help reduce gut-related problems that can affect overall health in kidney disease.
BerlinAges 18–75
