This study is looking at why people are admitted to the hospital as an emergency because of blood in their urine (hematuria). If you are being cared for by the urology team and stay for at least a day, you might be able to join.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07390591Recruiting
Patient views on bladder treatments for urinary symptoms
This study asks patients and caregivers about their experiences with bladder washes (instillations) using lactobacillus or gentamicin to manage urinary symptoms. Your feedback could help improve care for others like you.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07393867RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA-guided radiation boost for prostate cancer
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy (SBRT) that delivers a higher dose directly to the main tumor in your prostate, guided by a PSMA PET scan. It aims to improve cancer control while limiting side effects.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07391982Recruiting
Short course MRI-guided radiation for prostate cancer
This trial tests a shorter radiation plan using an MRI machine to guide treatment. The goal is to see if two high-dose sessions work just as well as longer treatment, with fewer side effects. It is for men with low or intermediate risk prostate cancer.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05858437Recruiting
Testing propionic acid to improve immune function in children with kidney failure
This study tests whether propionic acid can help the immune system work differently in children with advanced chronic kidney disease who receive regular dialysis. It may help regulate immune cells, aiming for better immune function while keeping you medically stable.
BerlinAges 12–20 - NCT04095572RecruitingPhase 4
Prevention options for recurring bladder infections in women
This trial studies different ways to prevent repeated bladder (urinary tract) infections in women. It may help people who keep getting these infections by testing safer or more effective prevention strategies.
BaselAges 18–70 - NCT05813730Recruiting
Testing urine creatinine levels in healthy newborns
This study measures how quickly creatinine leaves the body in urine during the first days of life. It may help doctors understand normal kidney function in healthy full-term newborns.
Nancy, LorraineAges Up to 3 days - NCT06242119Recruiting
Testing a new PET scanner prototype
This study is testing a new type of PET scanner (called J-PET) to see if it works as well as current PET/CT machines. If you are already scheduled for a whole-body PET/CT scan, participating would mean your scan is done with this experimental scanner instead.
KrakowAges 18 years+ - NCT06294990RecruitingPhase 4
Testosterone treatment for boys with Klinefelter syndrome in puberty
This trial tests if starting testosterone treatment during puberty (ages 10-14) helps boys with Klinefelter syndrome. It aims to understand how the hormone affects development and well-being.
CopenhagenAges 10–14 - NCT06387329RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotic to prevent UTI after bladder Botox
This study tests whether taking a low-dose antibiotic (nitrofurantoin) before a Botox bladder injection can help prevent urinary tract infections. You may be able to join if you are getting Botox for overactive bladder or painful bladder syndrome and do not have frequent UTIs or other health issues that would make the antibiotic unsafe.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06696794RecruitingPhase 3
Testing mitomycin before surgery for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests whether giving mitomycin directly into the bladder before surgery can help people with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective at preventing cancer from coming back.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06789705Recruiting
MDMA for people with vasopressin deficiency
This study tests whether a low dose of MDMA, compared to a placebo, changes oxytocin levels in people with a condition called arginine vasopressin deficiency (also known as central diabetes insipidus). The goal is to understand the role of oxytocin in this condition and explore potential treatment insights.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07383441RecruitingPhase 3
Adding Biotherapy or Placebo to Standard Kidney Cancer Treatment
This trial tests whether adding a biotherapy (a special drug from a living source) or a placebo to standard treatments helps people with advanced kidney cancer. It may be a good option if your cancer hasn't been treated yet and you are in fairly good health.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07383688Recruiting
Switching to the neuspera bladder leak device
This study is for people who already have a sacral neuromodulation (SNM) device for bladder leakage and want to switch to a newer, upgraded Neuspera system. It will track how well the new device works and how patients do over time.
St Louis, MissouriAges 22 years+ - NCT07381127Recruiting
New treatment for enlarged prostate symptoms
This study tests a new treatment called INTUPRO for men with an enlarged prostate causing bothersome urinary symptoms. It aims to see if it can safely improve symptoms like difficulty starting urination or incomplete emptying.
IstanbulAges 45 years+ - NCT06835426Recruiting
Imaging removed tissue during cancer surgery
This study tests a high-resolution PET-CT scanner that takes pictures of tissue removed during surgery to help doctors see if all the cancer has been removed. You might qualify if you are having surgery for a range of cancers including breast, prostate, thyroid, skin, gastrointestinal, or brain tumors.
Ghent, Oost VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT06835816Recruiting
Amino acid supplements during dialysis
This trial tests whether adding amino acid supplements during dialysis helps people with kidney failure. It may be an option if your doctor decides you need these supplements.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT05325099RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Azacitidine to help prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This early-phase study tests whether azacitidine (a medication that changes how cells read genes) can lower the risk of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery, especially in people already at risk along the chronic kidney disease (CKD) pathway. It aims to protect kidney function during the vulnerable period after surgery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07379814Recruiting
New muscle surgery for urinary retention
This trial tests a surgery that uses a muscle from your belly to help your bladder empty. It may be an option if you have trouble urinating because your bladder muscle is too weak to contract.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT07386158RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for clear cell kidney cancer
This trial tests whether giving pucotenlimab (an immunotherapy drug) with vorolanib (a targeted therapy) before surgery helps shrink clear cell kidney tumors and makes kidney-sparing surgery safer. It is for people with localized, non-metastatic disease where the tumor is difficult to remove with partial nephrectomy.
