Tanta, ElgharbeyaAges 6 months–18 years - NCT06597838Recruiting
Predicting kidney injury in hospitalized adults
This study is creating a tool to predict acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) in hospitalized adults. It uses routine blood tests to spot early warning signs, so doctors can act sooner.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT07737561Recruiting
Exercise test for heart, kidney, and metabolic health
This study looks at how blood pressure and artery stiffness respond to exercise in people with heart, kidney, and metabolic problems. It may help doctors better understand your condition.
KaramanAges 18 years+ - NCT07734207Recruiting
Nocturia app and behavior help trial
This trial tests if a smartphone app (LINE) and simple behavior changes can reduce how often you wake up to urinate at night. You may qualify if you get up to pee at least twice each night.
DouliuAges 55 years+ - NCT05668403RecruitingPhase 1
Subcutaneous anti-CD20 antibody for primary membranous nephropathy
This Phase 1 study tests a skin-under-the-bone (subcutaneous) antibody medicine that targets CD20 on certain immune cells. It aims to see safety and how the drug may work in people with primary membranous nephropathy, a kidney disease that can cause high urine protein.
Zhengzhou, He'nanAges 18–75 - NCT06585722Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict kidney injury in ICU patients
This study uses a special ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the veins (called venous congestion) and see if it is linked to kidney injury in ICU patients. It may help doctors understand how to prevent kidney problems during critical illness.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06583577Recruiting
Ostomy simulation education for urologic surgery patients
This study tests a hands-on simulation to help you learn about living with an ostomy before your surgery. It aims to make you more confident and prepared for your recovery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07733167RecruitingPhase 3
Epinephrine injection during prostate surgery for large prostates
This study tests whether injecting a drug called epinephrine into the prostate during surgery can improve outcomes for men with large prostates. It aims to reduce bleeding and make the surgery safer and more effective.
Banhā, Qalyubia GovernorateAges 40 years+ - NCT07730749Recruiting
Long-term follow-up of cystocele repair with collagen mesh
This study looks at the long-term results of a surgery to repair a cystocele (a type of bladder prolapse) using a special mesh. It may help women who had this procedure to understand how well it works over time.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06547892RecruitingPhase 2
Vasopressin to prevent kidney injury in the ICU
This trial tests if a drug called vasopressin can help prevent acute kidney injury in patients at high risk. It's for adults in the ICU who have a predicted risk score of 5 or higher based on their lab and health data.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06001255RecruitingPhase 2
Testing HS-20093 for advanced prostate and other solid cancers
This trial is testing a new drug called HS-20093 for people with advanced prostate cancer or other solid tumors that have spread and stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug targets a protein on cancer cells to try to stop cancer growth.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06520631Recruiting
Cryotherapy for pain from dialysis needle insertion
This study tests if applying cold therapy (cryotherapy) to the access site before needle insertion can reduce pain during hemodialysis. If you are on dialysis and have an arteriovenous fistula, this might help make your treatment more comfortable.
CairoAges 30–50 - NCT06512571Recruiting
Heart changes in Fabry disease: an observational study
This study looks at people with Fabry disease, a genetic condition that can cause the heart muscle to thicken. Researchers want to understand how the heart's blood vessels change over time, which may help improve care for Fabry disease.
