Targeted re-radiation for prostate cancer recurrence in one area
This study tests a focused radiation treatment (SBRT) to a small, clearly identified spot in the prostate for men whose prostate cancer has come back after prior external beam radiation. It may help control cancer while limiting radiation to the rest of the prostate and nearby organs.

Bladder cancer trial adds chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation after surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding chemotherapy and immunotherapy along with targeted pelvic radiation after bladder tumor surgery can reduce bladder cancer returning or spreading. It focuses on people with non-metastatic, muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT04724928RecruitingPhase 2
PET-CT scan to guide bladder cancer treatment decisions
This Phase 2 study checks whether an FDG PET-CT scan can help doctors better predict bladder cancer risk and adjust treatment. You may still get standard bladder cancer care, but the study uses the scan results to help decide how aggressive treatment should be.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT04721652Recruiting
Track drinking and recovery after hemodialysis sessions
This study looks at how fluid intake after each hemodialysis treatment affects your health. It may help find safer, easier guidance on how much to drink between treatments.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03276273Recruiting
Check brain-wave changes in people starting dialysis for the first time
This trial looks at brain activity (using a painless EEG, which measures brain waves) in people who are starting hemodialysis for the first time. It aims to understand what happens to brain activity when dialysis begins, and whether specific patterns are seen.
DalianAges 18–90 - NCT06217822RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new radiation therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, 225Ac-PSMA-Trillium, that targets prostate cancer cells. It is for people whose advanced prostate cancer has stopped responding to hormone therapy and may have spread.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06802978Recruiting
Lipid test in diabetic and non-diabetic kidney patients
This study checks cholesterol and fat levels in the blood of people with chronic kidney disease, comparing those with and without diabetes. It aims to understand how kidney disease affects lipid profiles.
SohagAges 21 years+ - NCT06803030RecruitingPhase 3
Study of three drugs for ureteral stent discomfort
This trial is testing three different medicines to see if they can reduce common symptoms like pain and frequent urination caused by a ureteral stent placed after kidney stone surgery. If you are between 19 and 80 years old and had a stent placed during ureteroscopy, you may be able to join.
Kathmandu, BagmatiAges 18–80 - NCT06812806Recruiting
Pelvic changes after birth and urine leakage risk
This study looks at how changes in the pelvis after delivery might be linked to urine leaking after childbirth. It compares women who had a vaginal birth, a vacuum-assisted birth, or a C-section to understand the connection.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18–45 - NCT07112209Enrolling by invitation
Rezvilutamide plus chemo for prostate cancer
This study tests a new combination treatment (Rezvilutamide plus docetaxel chemotherapy) for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to abiraterone. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05721404RecruitingPhase 4
Icodextrin to delay full-dose dialysis in first year of incremental PD
This study tests whether a special dialysis fluid called icodextrin can help people on a low-dose form of peritoneal dialysis stay on that low dose longer before needing a full dose. It is for adults who still make some urine and can do dialysis at home.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06791447Recruiting
AI predicts dialysis outcomes using health records
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze electronic health records and predict how well dialysis is working. If you've been on dialysis for at least 3 months, your data could help improve future care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 20–100 - NCT06798558RecruitingPhase 2
Lu-PSMA before prostate surgery for high-risk cancer
This trial tests a treatment called Lu-177-PSMA-617 given before surgery for high-risk prostate cancer that has spread only to nearby lymph nodes. It aims to see if this approach helps control the cancer before the prostate is removed.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07143773RecruitingPhase 4
SGLT2i safety in kidney transplant patients without diabetes
This study tests whether a medicine called SGLT2i (a type of pill for kidney health) is safe and helpful for kidney transplant recipients who do not have diabetes. It aims to see if it can improve how the new kidney works.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT06772025Recruiting
Understanding kidney injury after heart surgery with heart-lung machine
This study looks at why some people develop kidney damage after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It aims to help doctors better predict and prevent this complication.
Bad Oeynhausen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07164638Enrolling by invitation
Predicting fluid overload during prostate surgery
This study uses ultrasound to check for fluid overload in men having prostate surgery with spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see which ultrasound method works best to prevent complications.
TantaAges Any age - NCT07660211RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive treatment for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a radioactive treatment (177Lu-PSMA-VG01) that targets a protein called PSMA on prostate cancer cells. It's for men whose cancer has spread and hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT03083184RecruitingPhase 3
Ethanol lock solution to prevent catheter infections
This Phase 3 study tests whether a medicine-filled “lock” put into a dialysis catheter can lower the risk of infections. It is meant for people on regular dialysis with a tunnelled catheter who already have it in place.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT07134491Recruiting
B Cells in Kidney Transplant Rejection Study
This study looks at certain immune cells (B cells) in the blood and kidney to better understand antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant patients. It might help doctors find new ways to diagnose or treat this type of rejection.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07154576Enrolling by invitation
Pelvic floor symptoms and pain sensitivity study
This study looks at how pain sensitivity relates to pelvic floor problems in women. It uses questionnaires to gather information and may help improve understanding of these conditions.
WarsawAges 18–80 - NCT06529549Recruiting
Organoid drug test for advanced prostate cancer
