Home testing of bladder pressure with an external device
This study measures bladder pressure using a new external device that you use at home. It may help doctors understand how bladder function changes over time in people with neurogenic bladder.
Iowa City, IowaAges 1–99 - NCT04144894Recruiting
Kidney ultrasound and health measurements for people without diabetes or high blood pressure
This trial looks at how well a “kidney ultrasound index” (a measurement from an ultrasound and health factors) can reflect kidney health. It may help researchers better understand which people are most likely to stay healthy and who may be at risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 19 years+ - NCT04146077Recruiting
Active monitoring for low-risk prostate cancer
This study tests whether watching low-risk prostate cancer closely (instead of treating right away) is safe. It may help some people avoid early treatments and their side effects while still keeping a close eye on the cancer.
MoscowAges 50–75 - NCT04160507Recruiting
Biobank study collecting samples about kidney health in Black adults
This study builds a research “bank” (biorepository) of blood and other samples from Black adults with different stages of kidney health, including people with kidney disease and people without known kidney disease. It may help researchers better understand kidney risk and causes over time.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04172753Recruiting
Online MRI-guided radiation therapy on a 1.5T machine
This trial checks whether it’s practical and safe to deliver radiation treatment using real-time MRI guidance, with the process supported online. It may help patients whose doctors recommend radiation by testing a modern way to plan and deliver treatment more precisely.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT04174066Recruiting
Study on kidney damage in children and adults with MGLS or FSGS
This trial collects medical data and blood/urine samples from patients with minimal change disease or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) to better understand how the immune system damages kidney cells.
NiceAges 1 year+ - NCT04182607Recruiting
Looking at outcomes after kidney donation surgery
This review looks at results for kidney donors and recipients who had kidney transplant surgery done either by hand-assisted or robotic methods. It aims to understand how these surgical approaches affect donor and recipient outcomes.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04183101RecruitingPhase 2
Aliskiren vs enalapril for C3 kidney inflammation
This trial tests whether aliskiren works better or as well as enalapril to treat C3 glomerulopathy/dense deposit disease confirmed by a kidney biopsy. It may help by improving kidney outcomes in people with this specific kidney condition.
GothenburgAges 6 years+ - NCT04185844Recruiting
Chronic kidney health study for Native American adults
This study follows Native American adults with kidney function changes (either moderately reduced kidney filtration or early urine protein). It aims to better understand kidney disease over time and what factors predict progress, which may help improve care for people like you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21–80 - NCT04186585RecruitingPhase 1
Testing the safest dose for a prostate cancer drug
This early-phase trial (Phase 1) tests the safest dose of BP-C2 in people with prostate cancer who are on hormone treatment. It’s mainly designed to check safety and how the body handles the medicine, which could help future treatment options.
Skjetten, AkershusAges 18–80 - NCT04197414Recruiting
Urology DNA registry to personalize cancer care
This study builds a urology cancer “DNA registry” by analyzing circulating tumor DNA found in the blood. Your information and permission help researchers better personalize treatment for cancers like prostate, kidney, bladder, and ureter cancer.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT04207580Recruiting
Follow-up study for children with newly diagnosed nephrotic syndrome
This study follows children in France who developed idiopathic nephrotic syndrome after 2018, to learn how the condition behaves over time. It may help doctors improve future care by tracking symptoms and outcomes.
AgenAges Up to 18 years - NCT04212715RecruitingPhase 2
Extra radiation boost for high-risk prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment plan that uses standard focused radiation to the prostate, plus an extra “boost” delivered inside the prostate. It may help improve control of high-risk prostate cancer, especially by aiming radiation more precisely.
RiyadhAges 18–99 - NCT04221542RecruitingPhase 1
AMG 509 for advanced, hormone-resistant prostate cancer
This trial tests AMG 509, a study drug, in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (cancer that keeps growing despite lowering testosterone). It’s for people whose cancer has progressed after certain hormone tablets and possibly chemotherapy, aiming to shrink tumors and control the disease safely.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04228211Recruiting
Research study for people newly diagnosed with prostate cancer
This study follows people with newly diagnosed prostate cancer to understand care decisions and outcomes over the long term. It uses routine medical information and asks you to complete questionnaires, which may help improve future treatment and support.
Nieuwegein, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT04231006Recruiting
High-dose salvage radiation for prostate cancer that came back locally
This trial studies high-dose radiation (HDR) given after prostate cancer returns only in the prostate/seminal vesicles. It may help by trying to control the cancer when it has not spread elsewhere, using targeted treatment based on MRI and biopsy proof.
Aarhus, Region MidtAges 18 years+ - NCT04235764Recruiting
Testing a new bladder-tumor surgery tool for removed tissue
This trial studies a redesigned surgical instrument used during bladder tumor removal, to see if it can improve how the removed tissue samples are collected. It may help future patients by supporting better study of bladder tissue during cancer care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04240054RecruitingPhase 2
Study drugs before transplant for myeloma with kidney problems
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of anti-myeloma medicines given before stem cell transplant works well and is safe for people with multiple myeloma who also have kidney problems. It may help control the myeloma and prepare you for the transplant.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04242017RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Longer hormone treatment plus salvage radiation versus shorter
This trial compares two schedules of hormone treatment (ADT) along with salvage radiation after prostate cancer surgery, to see which one controls cancer better over the long term. It may help people who have a rising PSA level after surgery but no spread found yet.
GhentAges Any age - NCT04249154RecruitingPhase 2
After prostate surgery, test radiation plus hormone shots
This trial studies whether giving a shorter-course radiation plan after prostate surgery, along with hormone shots (LHRH), can improve outcomes for people with higher-risk prostate cancer. You may be eligible if your PSA (a blood marker) is either still low but high-risk by pathology, or it has started to rise again after surgery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04248283Recruiting
Adjustable continence therapy for stress urine leakage
This trial tests an adjustable treatment to reduce stress urinary incontinence (urine leaking when you cough, sneeze, or exercise). It’s for women who still leak after trying other treatments and who may be able to have surgery, while excluding certain bladder problems and health risks.
Denver, ColoradoAges 22 years+ - NCT04263922RecruitingPhase 4
Huaiqihuang granules for kidney inflammation in CKD stage 3
This trial studies whether Huaiqihuang granules can improve primary glomerulonephritis (a kidney inflammation) in people with chronic kidney disease at stage 3. It may help control kidney-related measures and reduce progression, compared with standard care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT04264065Recruiting
Albumin study in severe burn patients in ICU
This trial looks at whether giving or measuring albumin (a blood protein) can help predict outcomes for people with very severe burns in the ICU. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and guide care during the first day after injury.
Paris, FranceAges 18–80 - NCT04271527Recruiting
Compare two prostate biopsy guidance methods in men with PSA rise
This trial tests whether using a “cognitive” approach versus a software-guided approach to plan a prostate biopsy is just as effective. It may help improve how biopsies are targeted for men with PSA changes and/or abnormal prostate exams.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+
