Comparing two training methods for robot-assisted prostate surgery
This trial tests two training methods for learning robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (a surgery to remove the prostate using robotic tools). If you are a surgeon taking a specific training course, you may be able to join and help find out which teaching approach works best.
Melle, BelgiumAges Any age - NCT06472193Recruiting
A new way to create a catheter passage for children
This trial tests a new surgical technique for creating a small channel from the belly to the bladder, so children who cannot use their urethra for catheterization can still empty their bladder. It may help children with certain bladder conditions avoid surgery on their urethra.
SohagAges Up to 18 years - NCT06472947Recruiting
New imaging tests to check kidney transplant health
This study is testing two new types of scans that use sound and light waves to check the health of your transplanted kidney without needing a needle biopsy. If you are already scheduled for a biopsy, the researchers want to see if these scans can give the same information in a less invasive way.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07666815RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exercise and creatine during dialysis for kidney disease
This trial tests if doing exercise while on dialysis and taking creatine can help people with chronic kidney disease. It aims to find a safe and effective way to improve health during treatment.
Colima, ColiimaAges 18 years+ - NCT07663669Recruiting
Photopheresis for antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant
This study looks at how well extracorporeal photopheresis (a treatment that filters and treats your blood with light) works for kidney transplant patients who have antibody-mediated rejection (when your immune system attacks the new kidney). It may help doctors understand if this treatment can stop the rejection.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT07024238Enrolling by invitation
Short-chain fatty acid supplement for kidney transplant patients
This study tests whether taking a short-chain fatty acid (a type of fiber-like substance) supplement can improve gut health in people who have had a kidney transplant. It may help keep the transplant working well.
Martin, SlovakiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06661122Recruiting
Darolutamide with ADT and docetaxel for low-volume metastatic prostate cancer
This study looks at how safe and effective the combination of darolutamide (a tablet), hormone therapy (ADT), and chemotherapy (docetaxel) is for Japanese men with prostate cancer that has spread in a limited way (low volume). It observes people in regular medical care, not in a research setting.
Multiple LocationsAges 18 years+ - NCT06031584RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing BL-M07D1 for HER2-positive or low solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called BL-M07D1 for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have the HER2 protein (high or low amounts). The goal is to see if it can shrink or slow the growth of these cancers, especially in urinary and digestive system tumors.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06652009Recruiting
Radiation vs surgery for kidney and ureter cancer
This study compares two treatments for cancer of the kidney pelvis or ureter: radiation therapy (using high-energy beams) versus surgery. It is for people who cannot have surgery for medical reasons and want to see if radiation could be a good alternative.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06648044Recruiting
Finding new treatments for kidney ciliopathies
This study aims to find new treatment targets for nephronophthisis and related kidney ciliopathies. Researchers will collect blood and urine samples from people with these conditions, their healthy relatives, and other volunteers to better understand the disease.
La DefenseAges Any age - NCT07194395Recruiting
