This trial compares using an upfront MRI versus a risk calculator to decide who needs a prostate biopsy. It may help men with suspected localized prostate cancer avoid unnecessary biopsies.
LevangerAges 50–75 - NCT07417969Recruiting
Albumin with furosemide for fluid overload in ICU
This study tests whether giving a medicine called albumin together with a water pill (furosemide) helps ICU patients who have too much fluid in their body and are making very little urine. The goal is to see if this combination can improve urine output and protect kidney function.
Querétaro City, QuerétaroAges 18–100 - NCT06612047Recruiting
Comparing high-field and ultra-high-field MRI for prostate cancer diagnosis
This study compares two types of MRI scans – one at 3.0 Tesla and one at 5.0 Tesla – to see which is better at finding prostate cancer. If you are scheduled for a prostate biopsy, you may be asked to get both scans to help improve detection.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06737588Recruiting
Better MRI scanning for prostate cancer detection
This study tests if a special MRI measurement (ADC) can improve how well a standard MRI finds prostate cancer. If you have a suspicious MRI and are scheduled for a biopsy, this might help better understand your results.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06783127Recruiting
Olaparib for BRCA-related prostate cancer
This trial studies how well olaparib works for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has a BRCA mutation. It looks at results from real-world use, not a controlled study.
NaplesAges Any age - NCT06820333Recruiting
PSMA PET scan for newly diagnosed prostate cancer
This trial looks at how well a special scan called PSMA PET/CT can help find the spread of prostate cancer when it is first diagnosed. You may be able to join if your doctor has already recommended this scan for you.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT03004547Recruiting
MRI study of salt buildup in people with kidney problems
This study uses MRI scans to measure how much salt (sodium) builds up in soft tissues in people with kidney disease and related heart conditions. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the body and how treatment or changes in care affect salt buildup.
London, OntarioAges 6 years+ - NCT06819215RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
VB15010 for advanced solid tumors with HRR gene mutation
This trial tests an oral medication (VB15010) in people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific DNA repair gene mutation (called HRR mutation). The goal is to see if the drug can stop or slow down cancer growth.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT04033224Recruiting
Blood-filter treatments for ICU patients with kidney and organ failure
This trial tests a specific type of blood-filter treatment in critically ill ICU patients who have acute kidney injury and/or failure of other organs. It aims to see whether these filters can improve care by supporting kidney function and/or calming harmful inflammation.
Empoli, FirenzeAges Any age - NCT06337942Recruiting
Bladder or kidney-bladder transplant from a deceased donor
This trial offers a first-in-human transplant of a bladder or a kidney combined with a bladder from a deceased donor. It is for people with severe bladder problems or bladder cancer who already need a new bladder or are on immune-suppressing medicines for a prior organ transplant.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT04450953RecruitingPhase 3
Eplerenone to slow blood vessel damage after kidney transplant
This trial tests whether eplerenone can slow the progression of blood vessel (vasculature) problems in people who have had a kidney transplant. You may be eligible if you are older, stable on your transplant medicines, and have higher peripheral artery blood pressure readings.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 50 years+ - NCT04580680Recruiting
Testing a blood-filter treatment in critically ill ICU patients
This study looks at an add-on blood-filter treatment used in the ICU to help remove harmful substances like waste products, inflammation signals, or toxins from the blood. Results may help doctors understand whether this approach improves care and how it should be used.
FlorenceAges Any age - NCT04823923Recruiting
How kidney failure affects drug levels in metastatic kidney cancer
This study looks at how chronic kidney failure changes the amount of certain cancer medicines in the blood. It involves people with metastatic clear cell kidney cancer who take pazopanib or cabozantinib, and compares drug levels in different kidney function groups.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05014178Recruiting
Kidney salt imaging scan with MRI
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how your kidneys handle salt (sodium). It may help researchers better understand kidney function in healthy people and in people with chronic kidney disease.

Stem cell therapy to help highly sensitized patients get a kidney transplant
This trial tests if a special stem cell treatment (using your own stem cells) can reset your immune system so you can accept a kidney from a deceased donor, even if you have very high antibody levels that make it hard to find a match. It's for people who have been waiting a long time and haven't had a transplant offer.
BarcelonaAges 18–65 - NCT07407608Recruiting
Radiation therapy for unfavorable prostate cancer
This trial tests a type of focused radiation therapy for men with intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to improve outcomes by targeting the main tumor seen on MRI.
