Pelvic floor training for stress urinary incontinence
This study tests whether special pelvic floor muscle exercises using modern tools can help women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It may offer a non-surgical way to strengthen the muscles that control urine flow.
Brno, Czech RepublicAges 18–80 - NCT07668817Recruiting
Closing the tract after kidney stone surgery
This trial tests two ways of closing the small hole made during surgery to remove large kidney stones. It aims to see which method works better for your recovery.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07669974Recruiting
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 - NCT07666711Recruiting
Kidney biomarker study for lupus patients
This study aims to find better ways to detect kidney problems in people with lupus by testing blood and urine samples. If you have lupus, you may help researchers improve how kidney disease is diagnosed and monitored.
Oslo, OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07665463Recruiting
Recovery after surgery with or without opioids
This study compares recovery quality after major urological surgery using either opioid-free or opioid-based general anesthesia. It aims to see if avoiding opioids can improve how patients feel after surgery.
Krakow, Lesser Poland VoivodeshipAges 18–75 - NCT07667335RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs for advanced bladder cancer (including cancer of the renal pelvis or ureter) that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07670520Recruiting
Acute Kidney Injury Care Transitions Study
This study helps improve care for people with moderate to severe acute kidney injury when they leave the hospital. It tests a program to make sure patients get the right follow-up once they go home.
Mankato, MinnesotaAges 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+ - NCT07664397RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging study of a new tracer for cancer detection
This study tests a new imaging tracer called [89Zr]DFO-YS5 that may help detect certain cancers on a PET-CT scan. The goal is to see if this tracer is safe and works well for finding tumors, which could one day help doctors plan better treatments.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT05001477Recruiting
Registry for men receiving TULSA-PRO prostate treatment
This is a study registry that collects information from men who are going to receive TULSA-PRO treatment. It helps researchers understand how the treatment is used and what outcomes people experience.
West Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06579417Recruiting
Testing a faster MRI for prostate cancer detection
This trial is testing a new, faster type of MRI scan (called biparametric MRI) to see if it can detect prostate cancer as well as the standard scan. It may help you avoid a longer scan and possibly reduce the need for contrast dye.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06677437Recruiting
Preparing blood vessels for kidney transplant
This trial tests a procedure to fix blocked or damaged blood vessels in the pelvis so you can get a kidney transplant. It might help if your blood vessels are the only reason you can't have a transplant yet.
BronAges 18–85 - NCT06656689Recruiting
Water vapor therapy for enlarged prostate
This study tests a treatment that uses water vapor (steam) to reduce an enlarged prostate. It may help men with BPH who are already scheduled for this procedure.
Suwon, Gyeonggi-doAges 50 years+ - NCT06676696RecruitingPhase 4
Stopping immunosuppression after failed kidney transplant
This study compares what happens when patients with a failed kidney transplant (still in the body) stop their immunosuppressant medicines at 6 months versus continuing them. The goal is to safely prevent your immune system from becoming too sensitive, which can make finding a new donor kidney harder.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06519760Recruiting
68Ga-C1 PET/CT imaging for clear cell kidney cancer
This trial uses a special imaging scan (68Ga-C1 PET/CT) to see kidney cancer more clearly. It helps doctors find and understand clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a common type of kidney cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06618638Recruiting
Shared Decision Tool for ADPKD Treatment
This study helps people with ADPKD and moderate kidney damage decide together with their doctor whether to start a treatment called tolvaptan. It tests a shared decision-making tool to see if it helps patients understand their options better.
Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18–80 - NCT07662889Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two types of dialysis for kidney failure
This trial compares a newer type of dialysis called hemodiafiltration with standard hemodialysis to see if it improves certain health measures in people with end-stage kidney disease. It may help determine which method works better for long-term treatment.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–70 - NCT07660055RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (called 177Lu-DWJ155) that targets and kills cancer cells, along with a similar imaging agent (68Ga-DWJ155) used to see where the drug goes in the body. It is for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07661641RecruitingPhase 1
Study of new radioactive treatments for GRPR-positive tumors
This early-phase study tests two new radioactive treatments (lutetium-177 and actinium-225) together with a guided imaging agent in people with GRPR-positive solid tumors (including prostate, breast, or colorectal cancers). The goal is to see if these treatments can shrink tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
