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 - 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.
Hualien CityAges 40 years+ - NCT07597005Recruiting
Red Propolis Supplement for Kidney Disease Management
This study tests whether red propolis, a natural bee product, might help slow kidney disease progression in people with moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease who aren't yet on dialysis. Researchers believe its anti-inflammatory properties could support kidney health.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–65 - NCT07600541Recruiting
Kidney Transplant Recipients' Views on AI in Medicine
This study asks kidney transplant recipients about their thoughts and feelings regarding artificial intelligence (AI) used in medicine. Your feedback helps researchers understand how patients view AI tools that could help with their transplant care.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07601932Recruiting
Patient Positioning During Kidney Stone Removal Surgery
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+ - NCT06717581Recruiting
Drug interaction study for older people with HIV
This study looks at how other medicines you take for conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or cholesterol might interact with your HIV medication (Biktarvy) if you are 60 or older. The goal is to learn how to better manage your overall health.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06016075Recruiting
Studying kidney masses with advanced MRI
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better understand the differences between non-cancerous and cancerous kidney growths. It may help doctors improve how they diagnose and treat kidney masses.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06718283Recruiting
A study of blood tests in young people with lupus
This study looks at blood test results in children and teenagers with lupus to see if they relate to how active the disease is or if it has caused long-term damage. It may help doctors better understand the disease.
SohagAges Up to 18 years - NCT03457168Recruiting
Testing treatment for high blood pressure during sleep
This study looks at how to manage high blood pressure specifically during sleep, aiming to lower the risk it can cause over time. It may help you if your blood pressure readings stay high at night even if you’re otherwise able to function normally.
Ourense, OrenseAges 18 years+ - NCT07593352Recruiting
Kidney Health in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients
This study compares kidney function between people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and those without it. Researchers want to understand if IBD affects the kidneys and why, which could help protect kidney health in IBD patients.
Warsaw, WarszawaAges 18–80 - NCT06679920Recruiting
New imaging probe to improve bladder cancer diagnosis
This trial tests a new optical probe that gives doctors a clearer view of bladder tumors during cystoscopy. It may help make diagnosis and treatment more accurate.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07590934RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug combination study for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests several new drug combinations for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to standard hormone treatments. It aims to find better ways to control the disease and improve outcomes.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT07594106RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New immunotherapy for advanced prostate or kidney cancer
This trial tests new experimental drugs (REGN15505 and REGN4336) designed to target and attack cancer cells in advanced prostate cancer or kidney cancer. These drugs work by boosting your immune system to recognize and destroy cancer, and may be combined with other approved immunotherapy drugs.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07587021RecruitingPhase 2
YOLT-203 treatment study for primary hyperoxaluria type 1
This study tests a new drug called YOLT-203 for people with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), a rare genetic condition where the body produces too much oxalate, which can damage the kidneys. The trial aims to see if this drug can help reduce oxalate levels and prevent kidney damage.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 6 years+ - NCT07591701Recruiting
Understanding prostate cancer trial opportunities at LBJ Hospital
This study helps doctors learn how to invite more diverse patients into prostate cancer clinical trials at LBJ Hospital. You may qualify if you have prostate cancer, receive care at LBJ, and are eligible for an open trial there.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07586267RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for autoimmune blood diseases
This early-stage trial tests a new type of cell therapy (CAR-T cells) designed to treat severe autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the body's own organs. The therapy targets specific immune cells (B cells) that may be causing the disease. It may help patients who haven't improved with standard treatments or can't tolerate them.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3 years+ - NCT07594002Recruiting
Acupuncture for hot flashes in prostate cancer patients
This study tests whether real acupuncture works better than fake acupuncture for reducing hot flashes (sudden episodes of intense heat and sweating) in men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy. If acupuncture helps, it could offer relief without more medications.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–99 - NCT07591714Enrolling by invitation
