New surgery for nearly closed bulbar urethra stricture
This trial tests a new surgical method to repair a nearly closed bulbar urethral stricture (a narrowed part of the urine tube in the penis). This special technique uses tissue from the inside of your cheek to widen the tight spot.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05775471RecruitingPhase 2
Check PD-1 plus enfortumab after kidney-urine-duct surgery
This Phase 2 study tests giving pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) and enfortumab vedotin (an antibody-drug medicine) before and after surgery to remove high-risk upper urinary tract cancer. The goal is to lower the chance the cancer comes back.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06228053RecruitingPhase 2
Study of SX-682 plus enzalutamide for men with advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding the drug SX-682 to enzalutamide can help men whose prostate cancer has stopped responding to other hormone treatments. You may be eligible if your cancer is growing despite treatment with abiraterone, darolutamide, apalutamide, or enzalutamide.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06573411RecruitingPhase 4
Finerenone for primary membranous nephropathy
This trial tests if finerenone, a medicine that may protect the kidneys, can help people with primary membranous nephropathy (a kidney disease that causes protein in urine). It is for adults who are already taking a standard blood pressure medicine but still have protein in their urine.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07294183Recruiting
Emotion-focused support after kidney transplant
This study tests a program designed to help people who have had a kidney transplant learn new ways to manage their emotions and feel better overall. It uses talk-based activities to support your well-being after transplant.
AntalyaAges 18 years+ - NCT06510101Enrolling by invitation
Salvaging donor kidneys with stones
