Study on heart and kidney health in type 2 diabetes

This study looks at how often people have bladder control problems. It compares people who do high-impact sports, people who exercise moderately, and people who don't exercise much. The goal is to see if sport type affects incontinence.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18–35 - NCT07712679Recruiting
Studying Kidney Scarring with FAPI PET/CT
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to look for scarring in the kidneys. The goal is to see if the scan can detect kidney fibrosis better than current methods.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07710157RecruitingPhase 2
Obinutuzumab for first episode of minimal change disease
This trial tests if obinutuzumab, a targeted therapy, can safely and effectively treat adults with their first episode of minimal change disease (MCD), a kidney condition causing protein leakage. Participants will receive the drug to see if it reduces protein in urine and improves symptoms.

Comparing two guidewires for twisted wrist arteries during heart tests
This trial compares two different types of thin wires (guidewires) used during a coronary angiogram to see which one works better when your wrist artery has a twist or loop. The goal is to make the procedure smoother and safer for people with this common variation.
PátraiAges 18 years+ - NCT07710183Recruiting
Pumpkin seed oil for hemodialysis patients
This study tests if pumpkin seed oil, a natural supplement, can improve health in people on long-term dialysis. It may help with inflammation and nutrition without using prescription drugs.
Baghdad, KarkhAges 18 years+ - NCT07711314RecruitingPhase 2
Rezvilutamide after prostate removal for high-risk cancer
This trial tests if a daily pill called Rezvilutamide can prevent prostate cancer from returning in men who had their prostate removed and are at high risk of recurrence. It is for men who cannot or choose not to have radiation therapy.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07707232Recruiting
Using AI to read PSMA PET/CT reports for prostate cancer
This trial uses a computer program (large language model) to help doctors read Chinese PSMA PET/CT reports. The goal is to see if the AI can accurately identify key details about prostate cancer, like where it has spread, which may help make staging and treatment decisions faster.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06637267Recruiting
Testing a new blood test to improve prostate cancer risk assessment
This trial is testing a new blood test (Proclarix) to see if it can better predict prostate cancer risk in men who are already scheduled for an MRI and prostate biopsy. The goal is to improve how doctors decide who needs a biopsy.
Aarau, Canton of AargauAges 45–80 - NCT06639776Recruiting
Sexual function after erectile implant in transgender people
This study looks at how well erection prostheses (implants that help with erections) work for transgender people after phalloplasty surgery. It aims to understand sexual functioning for both you and your partner.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06636747Recruiting
High-resolution diffusion MRI for prostate imaging
This study looks at new types of MRI scans to get clearer images of the prostate. It may help doctors better understand prostate health and find problems.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 55 years+ - NCT04979156Recruiting
Laser removal of bladder tumors in one piece
This trial studies using a specific laser technique to remove bladder tumors “en bloc” (in one piece) during a procedure. It may help reduce leftover tumor tissue and improve how safely the tumor can be removed for people with certain small, papillary bladder tumors.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT04605146Recruiting
Telemonitoring to manage side effects from immunotherapy
This trial tests whether using home digital monitoring (telemonitoring) can help people with melanoma, lung, or kidney (renal) cancer manage side effects while on immunotherapy. It may help catch side effects earlier and support you during treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab or nivolumab alone.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT06274892Recruiting
Using an app to improve radiotherapy check-ins
This study tests whether using a mobile app to report symptoms during radiation treatment helps doctors better support patients. It is for people with breast or prostate cancer starting radiation therapy at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07699705Recruiting
Proton Beam Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer
This study tests a very short course (ultrahypofractionated) of proton beam radiation for localized prostate cancer. It aims to see if it's safe and effective with fewer treatment visits.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT07701863Recruiting
Vaginal dryness treatment study
This study tests a new treatment (F-GYN) to help with vaginal dryness and pain during sex. It aims to see if the treatment improves moisture and reduces discomfort.
BolesławiceAges 18 years+ - NCT07698535RecruitingPhase 2
Blood test to guide early stopping of prostate cancer therapy
This trial uses a blood test to measure tumor DNA and see if men with advanced prostate cancer can safely stop treatment with a drug called 177Lu-PSMA-617 earlier than usual, or switch to chemotherapy. It may help reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07705269Recruiting
High-rate fluid removal for fluid overload in dialysis patients
This trial tests whether a faster rate of fluid removal during dialysis can help hospitalized patients with end-stage kidney disease who have severe fluid buildup. It aims to reduce fluid congestion and improve outcomes.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 18 years+ - NCT07704970Recruiting
Nerve block for pain relief in robotic kidney surgery
This trial tests a special nerve block called QLESP to control pain after robotic partial kidney removal. It may reduce the need for strong pain medicines and improve recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07697677Recruiting
Mini versus standard surgery for complex kidney stones
This study compares two ways to surgically remove large or complex kidney stones. It tests whether a less invasive approach works as well as the standard surgery, with the goal of reducing recovery time and complications.
