Tissue study for chronic kidney transplant rejection
This study looks at tissue samples from kidney transplant patients who have a specific type of long-term rejection called chronic active humoral rejection (cAMR). It aims to better understand the condition and help future patients.
Bologna, BOAges 18 years+ - NCT06794216Recruiting
Comparing dialysis methods to clean blood in kidney failure
This study compares different types of dialysis to see which removes waste products (uremic toxins) best from the blood. If you have been on dialysis for at least 6 months and use the same filter for a year, this trial may help find a better way to clean your blood.
Bologna, Emilia-RomagnaAges 18 years+ - NCT06794190Recruiting
Understanding liver health in Turner syndrome
This study aims to understand why some women with Turner syndrome develop liver problems. Researchers will analyze factors that may contribute to liver changes, which could lead to better monitoring and care.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06794203Recruiting
Does hyperthyroidism affect kidney transplant success?
This study looks at whether having an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) soon after a kidney transplant might affect how well the new kidney works. If you had a kidney transplant at this center and had thyroid tests within the first month, researchers will review your records.
Bologna, BOAges 18 years+ - NCT07459413Recruiting
Drinking vs. IV fluids to protect kidneys from contrast dye
This trial compares drinking fluids by mouth versus receiving fluids through an IV to prevent kidney injury from CT contrast dye. It may be a good option if you have mild to moderate kidney disease and need a contrast CT while in the emergency department.
Istanbul, GaziosmanpasaAges 18 years+ - NCT07455058Recruiting
Water Vapor Ablation for Prostate Cancer Long-Term Registry
This registry tracks the long-term effects of Vanquish, a water vapor therapy for prostate cancer. It's for people who are already getting or have gotten this treatment to see how well it works over time.
Bossier City, LouisianaAges Any age - NCT07456865Recruiting
Device for Urge Incontinence: Long-Term Effectiveness Study
This trial tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve in your ankle to help control sudden, strong urges to urinate (urinary urge incontinence). It is designed for people who have not had success with other treatments.
Homewood, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07454603Recruiting
Blood test for prostate cancer risk
This trial tests a new blood test to help decide if you need a prostate biopsy. It may help men with high PSA levels or an abnormal rectal exam avoid unnecessary procedures.
Branford, ConnecticutAges 45–80 - NCT05410730RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early bladder cancer study using new drugs and BCG
This trial tests whether a new bladder cancer drug (SHR-1501) works alone or combined with BCG, and compares options with another drug (SHR-1316), in people with high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help reduce cancer coming back and improve control of the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07460960RecruitingPhase 2
Statin therapy for heart health and erectile function in men
This study tests whether statins, a common cholesterol-lowering medication, can improve erectile function and hormone levels in men at high risk for heart problems. It aims to see if these benefits exist beyond just lowering cholesterol.
MoscowAges 40–65 - NCT07461090Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs. open kidney removal surgery study
This study compares laparoscopic (keyhole) and open surgery for removing all or part of a kidney. It looks at how well each method works and how much it costs, to help decide which is better for patients with certain kidney conditions or tumors.
Shibīn al Kawm, Shebin ElkomAges 1 year+ - NCT07459790RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
A new treatment for interstitial cystitis with Hunner's lesions
This study tests a new treatment for women with interstitial cystitis (also called painful bladder syndrome) who have Hunner's lesions (specific sores in the bladder lining). The goal is to see if the new treatment can reduce pelvic pain, frequent urination, and other symptoms.
