Pátrai, AchaiaAges 18–75 - NCT06145139Enrolling by invitation
Liquid biopsy for kidney cancer: tracking tumor DNA after surgery
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can detect tiny bits of kidney cancer DNA after surgery. If successful, it could help doctors spot a return of cancer earlier than scans alone.

This study looks at ways to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use when patients are discharged from the hospital after being treated for a UTI or pneumonia. It aims to help you avoid taking antibiotics longer than needed.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06085846Enrolling by invitation
Real-world study of the Vivally system
This study tracks patients who are using the Vivally system in real life, a device that may help with bladder control. It aims to learn how well the device works outside of a clinic.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06080113Enrolling by invitation
Focal radioactive seed implant for prostate cancer
This trial is testing a new way to treat prostate cancer by placing a tiny radioactive seed directly into the main tumor. It's for men with early-stage, slow-growing cancer who have just one visible tumor on MRI.
HerlevAges 18–80 - NCT06041906Enrolling by invitation
International registry for congenital portosystemic shunt
This registry is gathering information from people who have a rare liver blood vessel problem they were born with (congenital portosystemic shunt). By joining, you help researchers learn more about this condition and improve future care.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 1 day+ - NCT06040645Enrolling by invitation
Urinary incontinence treatment in primary care
This study looks at different ways to treat urinary incontinence (leaking urine) in a primary care setting. You and your doctor will work together on a treatment plan, and the study will compare how well these methods work.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05952999Enrolling by invitation
Studying Hospital-At-Home care done from home
This trial looks at how well a “Hospital at Home” program works when people start from the emergency department or are already in the hospital and can be cared for at home. It may help teams improve care at home for certain medical conditions and situations.
Peoria, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05889806Enrolling by invitation
Study uses blood and tissue samples for gene and protein testing
This study collects and analyzes your donated samples (like blood or other biospecimens) to look for patterns in genes and proteins. The results may help researchers understand disease biology and improve future tests or treatments.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05870007Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Atorvastatin and alkalizing treatment for autosomal dominant PKD
This Phase 2 study tests whether atorvastatin plus an “alkalizing” treatment (sodium bicarbonate) can slow or improve disease effects in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It specifically targets metabolic acidosis (when the body becomes “too acidic”), which may worsen kidney health.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05832268Enrolling by invitation
Pelvic floor recovery after childbirth anal sphincter injury
This study looks at how the pelvic floor (the support muscles and tissues) works in people who had a specific anal sphincter injury during vaginal birth, compared with people who had uncomplicated vaginal deliveries. It may help doctors better understand recovery and function after childbirth injuries.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05793138Enrolling by invitation
Care model for older adults on dialysis at home
This trial tests a geriatric (older-adult) care approach to support people age 55+ who receive dialysis while living in the community. It may help improve how care is coordinated for older adults, including those with mild to moderate memory or thinking problems.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 55 years+ - NCT05764642Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Ultrasound imaging of kidney blood vessels in kidney disease
This Phase 2 study tests an ultrasound imaging method to look at tiny blood vessels in the kidneys. It may help doctors better understand chronic kidney disease, especially when a kidney biopsy is already planned for medical reasons.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05753046Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Nerve-block during robotic prostate surgery to reduce pain
This trial studies whether a laparoscopic nerve block (called a TAP block) given during robotic prostate surgery can reduce postoperative pain. It compares comfort after surgery and looks for side effects or issues that could affect results.
