Support program for people on hemodialysis
This trial tests a program to help people on hemodialysis take better care of their health. It focuses on education and support after months of treatment.
KahramanmaraşAges 18 years+ - NCT06719232Recruiting
Testing a new way to give bladder treatment without a catheter
This study tests a catheter-free method for delivering medication directly into the bladder. It may help patients with bladder pain, recurrent infections, bladder cancer, or cystitis after radiation or chemotherapy.
BudapestAges 18–80 - NCT06723327Recruiting
How urine culture timing affects kidney stone surgery results
This study checks if taking a urine culture two weeks before kidney stone surgery affects outcomes. It may help ensure your surgery goes smoothly by confirming your urine is free of infection.
TekirdağAges 18 years+ - NCT06730243Recruiting
New robotic vs. standard surgery for early prostate cancer
This trial compares a new robotic surgical technique (with a special urethra repair) to standard robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery for men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see which approach best preserves urinary control.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04113122Recruiting
Study of early aging after chemotherapy in young testicular cancer patients
This study looks at how chemotherapy may affect “early aging” in people who had metastatic testicular cancer before age 50. It includes people who are starting cisplatin-based chemotherapy and a comparison group with earlier-stage disease.
GroningenAges 18–50 - NCT07567521RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TRC003 for Advanced Prostate Cancer That Has Progressed
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called TRC003 for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is designed to target cancer cells that show a specific marker called PSMA.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07567846RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
GDC-1261 Safety and Activity in Advanced Prostate Cancer
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called GDC-1261 in men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread or gotten worse despite previous treatment. The study will look at whether the drug is safe and whether it helps slow or shrink the cancer.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07566156RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combination vs. radiation for bladder cancer preservation
This trial tests whether two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) work better than radiation with chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to treat your cancer while keeping your bladder instead of removing it.
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02434445Recruiting
Blood and urine tests to predict kidney failure in cirrhosis
This study checks new blood and urine tests to predict who with advanced liver scarring (cirrhosis) will develop hepatorenal syndrome, a serious kidney problem. The results may help doctors spot risk earlier, especially for people being referred for a liver transplant.
Hong KongAges 18–90 - NCT06731985Recruiting
Shorter sling tape follow-up study
This study looks at how well and how safely a shorter type of sling tape (used to treat stress urinary incontinence) works over time. It may help women who had this specific surgery between 2009 and 2020 understand their long-term results.
LorenskogAges 25–90 - NCT02954939Recruiting
Test medicines to change immune cells in lupus kidney flare
This study tests whether mycophenolate mofetil and cyclophosphamide can improve active lupus kidney inflammation by changing immune cell patterns in your blood. It may help patients whose lupus nephritis is currently active, shown by worsening urine protein and/or kidney blood tests.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT06322056Recruiting
Lower blood pressure and cholesterol targets for advanced kidney disease
This trial tests whether keeping blood pressure and cholesterol at lower-than-usual levels can help slow the decline of kidney function in people with advanced chronic kidney disease. If you have moderately to severely reduced kidney function and meet certain blood pressure and cholesterol criteria, you may be able to join.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06153888Recruiting
Heart strain during dialysis: a study on fluid removal
This study looks at how quickly fluid is removed during dialysis affects the heart. It may help find safer ways to manage fluid removal for people on hemodialysis.
