MHB048C for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing a new medicine called MHB048C for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.

Testing TS-172 to lower phosphorus in dialysis patients
This study tests a new medication called TS-172 for people on dialysis whose phosphorus levels stay high despite taking other phosphorus-lowering drugs. The goal is to see if TS-172 can better control phosphorus and help prevent bone and heart problems that high phosphorus causes.
TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT07074730Recruiting
Anesthesia types for urethral surgery
This trial compares general anesthesia versus spinal anesthesia with local numbing medicine for penis skin graft surgery. It aims to see which method works better for pain control and recovery.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 21 years+ - NCT05147831Recruiting
Remote arm treatment to prevent kidney injury from contrast dye
This trial tests whether a simple “arm conditioning” technique done remotely before a procedure can help prevent kidney injury caused by contrast dye used during certain heart catheter tests. You might benefit if you’re having a coronary angiogram and your kidney function is reduced, but you’re not on dialysis.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07082023Recruiting
Comparing two surgical methods for pelvic organ prolapse
This trial compares two minimally-invasive surgical techniques to fix pelvic organ prolapse. It aims to see which method works better and has fewer side effects.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT06921733Recruiting
Ultrasound study for children with kidney and urinary birth defects
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to create detailed images of blood flow in the kidneys of children with congenital kidney and urinary tract conditions. It aims to improve how doctors assess blockages without needing radiation.
Erlangen, BavariaAges birth–6 years - NCT06499870RecruitingPhase 2
Study of two drugs with radiation for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether combining two hormone therapy drugs, relugolix and enzalutamide, with radiation therapy can help treat very high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective for men whose cancer has a high chance of coming back.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06492122RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a radioactive drug for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new radioactive treatment, [225Ac]Ac-FL-020, for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) that has gotten worse despite other treatments. It's for those who have had at least one prior hormone therapy or chemotherapy.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06493526RecruitingPhase 4
Mycophenolate therapy for kidney transplant patients with no DQ mismatch
This trial tests a mycophenolate-based therapy for kidney transplant recipients who have no HLA-DQ mismatch. If you had your first kidney transplant 3-12 months ago without DQ mismatch and are on standard immunosuppressants, you may qualify.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06493292Recruiting
Treating a blocked dialysis fistula with balloon therapy
This trial tests a balloon treatment for blocked blood vessels in the arm used for dialysis. It aims to improve blood flow so dialysis can work better.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06549465RecruitingPhase 2
Ac-225 rosopatamab for PSMA-positive castration-resistant prostate cancer
This trial tests a radioactive drug (Ac-225 rosopatamab tetraxetan) that targets a protein called PSMA on prostate cancer cells. It is for patients whose cancer has stopped responding to hormone therapy and has spread to other parts of the body.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07183696Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for kidney dialysis patients
This study tests if breathing exercises can improve quality of life for people on kidney dialysis. You would do special breathing training using a device called a Breath Booster to help strengthen your breathing muscles.
GizaAges 50–60 - NCT06190197RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing antibiotics before bladder removal surgery
This trial tests whether giving preventive antibiotics before bladder removal surgery reduces infections. If you have muscle-invasive bladder cancer and are having your bladder removed, you may be able to join.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07554300Recruiting
Pelvic floor exercises for post-urination dribbling in men
This study tests whether targeted pelvic floor muscle exercises (the muscles you use to stop urination) can reduce unwanted urine leakage that happens after you finish urinating. If the exercises work, it could offer a non-surgical treatment option.
Al Mansurah, EldakahliyaAges 18–40 - NCT06314230Recruiting
Genomics of chronic kidney transplant failure study
This study looks at how genes affect long-term kidney transplant health. It aims to understand why some transplanted kidneys fail over time, and may help personalize care for transplant recipients.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 18–75 - NCT06696430Recruiting
Nudging to use TENS for pain after surgery
This trial tests whether a simple reminder (nudging) can encourage staff and patients to use a device called TENS, which uses mild electrical pulses to help reduce pain after urological surgery.
Gothenburg, VGRAges 18 years+ - NCT06085183RecruitingPhase 4
Study of a dye to check ureters during surgery in people with kidney problems
This trial tests a blue dye (Bludigo) to help doctors see if the ureters are open during surgery. It is for people with normal or reduced kidney function who need a procedure where the ureters are checked.
Albany, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT06352736Recruiting
Study on urinary symptoms in Chinese men over 40
This study looks at how common lower urinary tract symptoms are in Chinese men aged 40 and older. By participating, you can help researchers understand the impact of these symptoms and find better ways to help people like you.
BeijingAges 40 years+ - NCT07600541Recruiting
Kidney Transplant Recipients' Views on AI in Medicine
This study asks kidney transplant recipients about their thoughts and feelings regarding artificial intelligence (AI) used in medicine. Your feedback helps researchers understand how patients view AI tools that could help with their transplant care.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06709196RecruitingPhase 4
Targeted antibiotics to prevent infections after bladder removal
This trial tests if using a personalized antibiotic approach before surgery can reduce infections compared to the usual one-size-fits-all antibiotics. It focuses on people having their bladder removed (cystectomy) with a specific type of urinary diversion.
