Gut Bacteria Treatment for Advanced Kidney Cancer Resistant to Immunotherapy
This study tests whether modifying your gut bacteria can help immunotherapy work again in advanced kidney cancer that has stopped responding to initial immune-checkpoint inhibitor treatment. Researchers will give you a special bacterial preparation along with a new immunotherapy drug to see if this combination can slow or shrink your cancer.

6-minute stepper test reliability in kidney transplant patients
This study checks if a 6-minute stepper test is a valid and reliable way to measure exercise ability in people who have had a kidney transplant. It helps doctors understand your fitness without needing complex equipment.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT03711617Recruiting
Study of waste products and outcomes in chronic kidney disease
This study looks at “uremic toxins,” which are waste products that build up when kidney function is reduced, and how they relate to health outcomes in people with chronic kidney disease. The results may help doctors better understand what to monitor and target to improve care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05279963Recruiting
Study for bladder pain using a nerve-based treatment (EA)
This trial tests whether a nerve-based therapy called EA can reduce bladder pain. It also aims to understand why the treatment may help by looking at underlying mechanisms.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT06108492RecruitingPhase 1
A new bladder cancer drug given directly into the bladder
This study tests a new drug, SHR-2005, given directly into the bladder through a catheter. It is for people with intermediate- or high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle, and aims to see if it is safe and how well it works.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06583590RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Botulinum toxin plus daily tadalafil for erectile dysfunction
This trial tests if combining two treatments—a botulinum toxin injection and a daily oral medication (tadalafil)—can help men with diabetes-related erectile dysfunction who haven't responded well to standard pills. The goal is to see if this combination improves erections better than either treatment alone.
Aswān, Aswan GovernorateAges 21 years+ - NCT06714409Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided fluid removal in hospitalized heart failure
This study tests whether using ultrasound-guided treatment to reduce fluid buildup in the body can help people hospitalized for worsening heart failure feel better faster. It's for adults admitted with heart failure and high BNP levels.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT02573636Recruiting
Testing genes in prostate cancer after radiation relapse
This study looks at specific gene changes (TMPRSS2-ERG fusion and PTEN deletion) in people whose prostate cancer returned after radiation. It aims to understand who may have a higher risk of relapse and help predict outcomes after salvage or radical radiation.
Chicoutimi, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04896801Recruiting
MRI-guided radiation for certain prostate cancer risks
This trial tests a precise, MRI-guided radiation treatment given over 7 days for people with prostate cancer in specific risk categories. It may help shrink or control the cancer while carefully targeting the tumor.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05214937Recruiting
Help to reduce sitting time in prostate cancer survivors
This study tests an intervention to help prostate cancer survivors sit less and move more. It may help improve daily activity and reduce long periods of inactivity.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07597174Recruiting
Mobile app vs. in-person pelvic floor exercises for leaky bladder
This trial compares two ways to treat stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise): doing pelvic floor exercises using a smartphone app at home versus attending supervised in-person sessions. The study tests which approach works better and is easier for women to stick with.
PortoAges 18 years+ - NCT06694012Recruiting
Ohtori Study Part 2 heart health
This study looks at heart and metabolic health in the general population. It helps researchers understand how to prevent conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
Sakai, OsakaAges 20 years+ - NCT07600554RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging Study for Prostate Cancer Detection
This research study tests a new imaging scan (called 68Ga-OncoACP3-PET/CT) to help find prostate cancer and see where it may have spread. The scan uses a radioactive tracer to help doctors visualize cancer cells and decide on the best treatment options.
Bergamo, BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT07600450RecruitingPhase 1
First study of a new drug in healthy adults
This study tests a new investigational drug to see how safe it is and how the body processes it. It is one of the first steps in drug development, and it helps determine if the drug is suitable for further testing.
GroningenAges 25–55 - NCT07598448Recruiting
Study of Iptacopan Treatment for C3G Patients in Spain
This study tracks adults with C3G (a rare kidney disease where the immune system damages the filtering units) who have already received iptacopan (a new medicine) through an early access program in Spain. Researchers want to understand how well this treatment works and its safety in real-world patients.
CórdobaAges 18–100 - NCT07598396RecruitingPhase 2
Mosunetuzumab for systemic lupus erythematosus treatment
This study tests a new drug called mosunetuzumab in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a disease where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. The drug is designed to help control the immune response and reduce lupus symptoms, including kidney involvement if present.
Salvador, Estado de BahiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06716125Recruiting
Lifestyle changes for obese men with sexual and hearing issues
This trial tests whether lifestyle changes can help obese men who have both sexual difficulties and ringing in the ears. It might improve your overall health and these symptoms.
Dokki, Giza GovernorateAges 35–45 - NCT07603466Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Two drugs combined to treat Cushing's disease
This trial tests whether taking two medications together—osilodrostat and cabergoline—can help control Cushing's disease by lowering excess cortisol levels. Cushing's disease is caused by a pituitary tumor that makes too much of a hormone called ACTH, which drives cortisol overproduction.
BasraAges 18–70 - NCT07601282Recruiting
Predicting Incontinence Risk After Pelvic Floor Surgery
This study helps doctors predict which patients may develop urinary incontinence (leakage) after surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse (when pelvic organs drop into the vaginal canal). By identifying risk factors early, doctors may be able to better prepare patients and prevent this complication.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–90 - NCT07601932Recruiting

This study compares different patient body positions during a minimally invasive procedure (flexible ureteroscopy) to remove kidney stones from the upper ureter. The goal is to find the best positioning to make stone removal easier and more successful.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07598227Recruiting
Moxibustion Treatment for Nighttime Urination
This trial tests whether moxibustion—a traditional Chinese medicine technique using heat—can reduce how many times you need to urinate at night. If you wake 2+ times nightly to urinate, this study explores whether moxibustion might help you sleep better.
