This trial tests if using negative pressure suction during ureteroscopy can reduce fluid absorption and infections. It may help people undergoing kidney stone surgery.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT07490964Recruiting
Study of PCOS in women with type 1 diabetes
This study looks at the connection between type 1 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It will compare women with both conditions to women with only diabetes and to women without either, to understand how PCOS affects diabetes management.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–45 - NCT07494266Recruiting
Potassium in plant-based diet for kidney patients
This trial tests whether a plant-based diet with more potassium is safe for people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to a plant-based diet with less potassium. It may help you understand how to manage your potassium levels while eating more plants.
Huddinge, Stockholm LänAges 20–85 - NCT07497919RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for EGFR-positive advanced penile cancer
This trial tests two drugs — becotatug vedotin and pucotenlimab — together in people with advanced penile cancer whose tumors show a protein called EGFR. It aims to see if this combination can shrink or slow the cancer.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT07495072Recruiting
Timing of Blad-Care during BCG therapy for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether giving Blad-Care early or later during BCG treatment changes outcomes for people with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. BCG is a standard therapy that uses a germ to help your immune system fight cancer, and Blad-Care is a device used in the bladder.
Seoul, Dongdaemun-guAges 19 years+ - NCT07489794Recruiting
Bladder Control and Pelvic Floor in MS
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects bladder control and pelvic floor muscles. It may help find better ways to manage urinary incontinence (leaking urine) in women with MS.
IstanbulAges 30–50 - NCT07496177RecruitingPhase 2
HTD1801 for kidney function in diabetes and kidney disease
This trial tests whether a new drug, HTD1801, can protect or improve kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. It may help slow kidney damage and reduce protein in urine.
Weifang, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07491198Recruiting
Head-Down Position and Eye Pressure in Prostate Surgery
This study looks at how the steep head-down position (Trendelenburg) and gas inflation during robot-assisted prostate surgery affect the sheath around the optic nerve. It aims to understand eye pressure changes to improve safety.
Izmir, İzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT07493512RecruitingPhase 1
Study of xaluritamig for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called xaluritamig for men with metastatic prostate cancer that is resistant to hormone therapy. It is designed for those who have already tried certain hormone pills and one type of chemotherapy, and aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
