Belimumab to help highly sensitized kidney transplant candidates
This study tests whether a medication called belimumab can help people who are highly sensitized (their immune system has many antibodies against donor organs) become eligible for kidney transplant by improving how doctors understand their antibody patterns. The goal is to help these patients access transplants more easily.
LeidenAges 18 years+ - NCT07536035Recruiting
Comparing Hospital Care Pathways for Acute Medical Illness
This study compares two different hospital care pathways for adults admitted with acute medical emergencies like infections, falls, or COPD flare-ups. The goal is to see which pathway provides more appropriate and effective care.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07535541Recruiting
Smartwatch Study of Hot Flashes in Prostate Cancer Patients
This study tests whether a smartwatch can accurately measure hot flashes (sudden heat and sweating) that occur in men undergoing hormone therapy for prostate cancer. You'll wear the smartwatch for about 4 weeks while the research team tracks your symptoms.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07535281Recruiting
Kidney Stone Surgery Technique and Recovery Study
This study tests a technique during kidney stone removal surgery (RIRS) where the surgeon fully drains the kidney system at the end of the procedure. Researchers want to see if this approach improves how quickly patients recover and reduces complications.

Imaging-Guided Radiation Therapy for Advanced Kidney Cancer
This trial uses two types of PET scans to better target radiation therapy in patients with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has spread or returned. The goal is to combine radiation with standard drug treatments to improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07542834Recruiting
Virtual Reality Training for Medical Students
This study tests whether using virtual reality can help medical students learn better and feel more confident in their training. Researchers will compare how students learn with VR versus traditional methods.
Athens, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07537010RecruitingPhase 1
3D1015 Injection for Advanced Prostate Cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a new injectable treatment called 3D1015 for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. The drug is designed to target cancer cells using a special imaging marker that shows up on PET scans.
Wuxi, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07542626Recruiting
Restoring Fertility by Transplanting Frozen Testicular Tissue
This trial tests whether transplanting frozen testicular tissue that was saved before cancer treatment can help men who cannot produce sperm have biological children. The tissue is thawed and put back into the testicles to restore natural sperm production.
BrusselsAges 18–40 - NCT07541911Recruiting
Confocal Microscopy to Check Prostate Cancer Surgery Margins
This study tests whether a special microscope can help surgeons see cancer margins (edges) during prostate removal surgery to make sure all cancer is removed. It may help surgeons make real-time decisions about how much tissue to remove.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07541495Enrolling by invitation
Mindfulness Training for Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease
This study tests whether a mindfulness program (guided meditation and breathing exercises delivered on a smartphone) can help people manage chronic kidney disease and improve their quality of life. You'll use a study-provided app to practice mindfulness several times a week for 8 weeks.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–80 - NCT07535385Recruiting
Kidney Artery Blocking Treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease
This study follows patients with a genetic kidney disease (autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease) who are on dialysis and receive a procedure to block blood flow to their enlarged kidneys. Researchers will track how well the procedure works and how it affects patients over time using imaging scans.
Pavia, LombardyAges 18–75 - NCT06597201RecruitingPhase 4
Testing Amino Acid Dialysis Solution for Malnutrition on Peritoneal Dialysis
This trial tests a special peritoneal dialysis solution with amino acids (protein building blocks) to improve nutrition in people on CAPD who are malnourished. It might help boost your protein levels and overall health.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT07525960RecruitingPhase 1
Testing NDI-5001 for X-linked Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus
This study tests a new drug called NDI-5001 in adult men with a specific genetic form of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (a condition where the kidneys cannot concentrate urine properly). The trial checks whether the drug is safe, how your body handles it, and whether it might help reduce excessive urination and thirst.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–55 - NCT07529717RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early-stage study of AZD8359 for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new experimental drug (AZD8359) designed to target prostate cancer cells in men whose cancer has progressed despite previous treatments. The drug works by directing immune cells to attack cancer cells.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT06398613Recruiting
Using PSMA PET scan before prostate cancer surgery
This trial is testing whether a special scan (PSMA PET/CT) before surgery can help doctors decide if you need to remove lymph nodes. It is for men with high-risk prostate cancer who are already planning to have robot-assisted prostate removal.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07526675Recruiting
Same-day prostate biopsy and heat treatment for cancer
This trial combines a biopsy (tissue sampling) with a heat-based ablation procedure in one visit to diagnose and treat early prostate cancer while also relieving severe urinary symptoms. It may help patients who need quick treatment and early discharge.
Banhā, Qalyubia GovernorateAges 1.5 years+ - NCT07532941RecruitingPhase 4
Stopping antibiotics early versus completing the full course
This study compares two ways of giving antibiotics to children: stopping when symptoms feel better versus finishing all the prescribed doses. Researchers want to see if stopping early is safe and works just as well, which could help reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 1–17 - NCT07531966Recruiting
Blood Vessel Problems After Kidney Transplant Treatment
This study looks at treating narrowing or blockage of blood vessels in transplanted kidneys. If your transplanted kidney is showing signs of not working well and imaging shows a blocked vessel, this trial tests whether a procedure called angioplasty (opening the vessel with a tiny balloon) can help restore blood flow and improve kidney function.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07532382Recruiting
