Exercise plus talk therapy for impotence in men with metabolic syndrome
This trial tests if adding aerobic exercise to cognitive behavioral therapy (talk therapy) can help treat impotence in men who have metabolic syndrome and drink heavily.
Giza, DokkiAges 35–45 - NCT07276295Recruiting
Comparing two sling surgeries for stress incontinence
This study compares two types of sling surgery to treat stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine during activities like coughing or exercise). It aims to see if a synthetic (man-made) sling works as well as a sling made from your own body tissue, which may help you choose the best option.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07270172Recruiting
Micronutrient study for type 1 diabetes complications
This study tests how a specific drug affects heart and kidney health in people with type 1 diabetes who already have some complications like kidney disease, heart problems, or obesity. It aims to find new ways to prevent further damage.
Aarhus NAges 40 years+ - NCT07276438Recruiting
Image-guided radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer
This trial tests a precise radiation technique that adapts to your body's daily changes. It may offer better outcomes for men with prostate cancer that hasn't spread outside the pelvic area.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07276152Recruiting
Music and oxytocin study for healthy adults and those with AVP deficiency
This trial tests whether listening to music modified by a special technology changes oxytocin levels in the blood. It may help us understand how music affects social bonding and stress.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07269379Recruiting
Exercise during dialysis with blood flow restriction
This study tests whether doing gentle exercise during dialysis with a special cuff that partly limits blood flow can help people on dialysis get stronger and feel better. It might be a good fit if you are on dialysis, not already exercising regularly, and have no serious health conditions that make exercise risky.
StrasbourgAges 20–79 - NCT06420115Recruiting
Comparing needle sizes for prostate MRI-targeted biopsy
This study compares two different needle sizes used during a prostate biopsy to see which one finds cancer more accurately and causes fewer side effects. It is for people who have not been diagnosed with prostate cancer before and have a suspicious MRI finding.
Padua, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06894628Recruiting
Genomics and extreme radiation for recurrent prostate cancer
This study looks at how well a very short course of high-dose radiation works for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. It aims to learn if genetics can help predict who benefits most from this type of radiation.
RomaAges Any age - NCT04896047Recruiting
Test whether FGF19 helps non-diabetic kidney disease
This study looks at FGF19 to see if it can improve chronic kidney disease in people who do not have diabetes. Participants may receive FGF19 (and may need extra testing such as muscle biopsies).
Pierre-BéniteAges 18–70 - NCT06718426Recruiting
Testing Fertitonex for varicocele and infertility
This study tests if a medicine called Fertitonex can improve sperm quality in men who have varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum) and are having trouble getting their partner pregnant for the first time.

Irinotecan and Epirubicin for recurring bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (irinotecan and epirubicin) for people whose bladder cancer has come back after prior treatment with a similar drug. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
ChongqingAges 18 years+ - NCT07267026RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of the drug SK-09 in healthy adults
This trial tests a new medicine called SK-09 in healthy volunteers to see if it is safe and how the body processes it. The results will help decide the right dose for future studies.
Herston, QueenslandAges 18–55 - NCT07262333RecruitingPhase 1
Single dose of hydroxynidone for kidney disease patients
This trial tests a single dose of the study drug hydroxynidone in people with different levels of kidney function, including healthy volunteers and those with kidney disease. The goal is to learn how the drug works in the body when kidneys are not working normally.
Hubei, WuhanAges 18–70 - NCT07268638RecruitingPhase 2
Study of praliciguat for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
This trial tests an investigational drug called praliciguat for people with FSGS, a kidney disease that causes scarring in the kidney filters. The goal is to see if praliciguat can help reduce protein in the urine and protect kidney function.
