Optimizing fluid balance with bioelectrical impedance during dialysis in ICU
This trial tests a method to better manage fluid levels in critically ill patients who are receiving a type of dialysis (CVVH) for kidney failure. It uses a device (bioelectrical impedance) to measure fluid in the body, which may help doctors give the right amount of fluids more safely.

Learn about DICER1-related tumors through a patient registry
This registry collects information about people with known or suspected DICER1-related conditions, including certain rare chest and other tumor types. It helps doctors and researchers understand these conditions better and may support future studies.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges birth–100 years - NCT07445997Recruiting
HbA1c and kidney injury after heart bypass surgery
This study looks at whether blood sugar levels (HbA1c) before surgery are linked to kidney problems after coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help doctors understand how to reduce risks for people with diabetes or high blood sugar.
BursaAges 18 years+ - NCT06341933Recruiting
Kidney risk after lung cancer surgery (VATS)
This study looks at why some people develop kidney problems after lung cancer surgery using small incisions (VATS). By tracking your recovery, the doctors hope to find ways to protect your kidneys during and after surgery.

Comparing low vs standard dialysis in ICU patients
This trial compares a lower dose versus a standard dose of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT) for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI — sudden kidney failure). It aims to see if lower doses are safe and effective.
London, Greater LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07447050RecruitingPhase 2
Riluzole to Prevent Chemo-Related Cognitive Problems
This pilot study tests whether the drug riluzole can help prevent the thinking and memory problems (often called 'chemobrain') that some people experience during chemotherapy. If you are about to start a chemo regimen containing an anthracycline or platinum drug, you may be able to join.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07447375Recruiting
Light exercise during dialysis for muscle strength and sleep
This study tests if gentle exercise during your dialysis sessions can help maintain muscle strength and improve sleep. If you are on chronic hemodialysis, at least 40 years old, and able to do simple exercises safely, you may be eligible.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 40 years+ - NCT07446296Recruiting
Kidney transplant exercise program for older adults
This trial tests whether a special exercise program can help people on the kidney transplant waiting list get stronger and improve their health. You would use an app to follow exercise routines at home and check in with the research team.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 60 years+ - NCT07451795RecruitingPhase 2
SHR-1701 with targeted radiation for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called SHR-1701 combined with a precise type of radiation (SBRT) for men with prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to hormone therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.
FujianAges 18–80 - NCT07447895Recruiting
early pelvic floor therapy for women having pelvic radiation
This study tests whether starting pelvic floor physical therapy early can help women with cervical cancer who are receiving radiation and chemotherapy. It aims to improve quality of life by addressing muscle-related side effects of treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07453082Recruiting
A study on miRNA371 for newly diagnosed germ cell tumors
This study is looking at a new marker called miRNA371 in people newly diagnosed with germ cell tumors. The goal is to see if it can help predict relapse and guide treatment decisions.
Candiolo, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT06801262Recruiting
New Blood Test to Detect Kidney Transplant Rejection
This trial is testing a new blood test (called TreaT-Assay) to help diagnose acute rejection after a kidney transplant. The goal is to catch rejection earlier and more accurately, so you can get the right treatment faster.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07453693Recruiting
Urinary health drink mix study for women with frequent UTIs
This trial tests a dietary supplement drink mix designed to improve urinary health. It is for women who have had at least two urinary tract infections in the last six months and are currently at the start of a new UTI.
Harrison, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT07451002Recruiting
Study on Adherence to Apalutamide in Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer
This study looks at how well men with prostate cancer that has spread and is still hormone-sensitive stick to taking the drug apalutamide. It aims to understand real-world use and quality of life.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT03740503Recruiting
Study genes in people who respond unusually to treatment
This study looks at stored tumor samples to understand why some people respond much better or much worse than expected. The goal is to learn what the tumor’s genes might be telling doctors about response to treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05381103RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
PSMA scan to plan prostate surgery and help protect erections
This trial tests whether using a PSMA-PET scan before prostatectomy can guide surgery in a way that helps preserve sexual function. It may be most helpful if you have certain kinds of prostate cancer and want to keep erections after surgery.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 40–80 - NCT06468332Recruiting
AI learning from MRI and tissue to improve prostate cancer care
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at your MRI scans, tissue samples, and medical records to learn more about prostate cancer and find better ways to treat it. You may join if you've had prostate removal surgery or have advanced prostate cancer.
