Kidney treatment in Latin American ICUs
This study looks at how dialysis (renal replacement therapy) is used for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) with severe acute kidney injury in Latin America. Your participation can help improve care for people with kidney problems.
CochabambaAges 18 years+ - NCT07261995Recruiting
Shock wave vs. laser surgery for kidney stones
This trial compares two procedures to break up a single kidney stone. One uses sound waves from outside the body, the other uses a laser through a small scope. Both aim to help you pass the stone more easily.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–65 - NCT07266129Recruiting
Virtual biopsy for prostate cancer using PSMA PET and AI
This trial uses a special PET scan (PSMA PET) and artificial intelligence to see if we can detect prostate cancer without a needle biopsy. It is for men who are either already scheduled for a PET scan or who have symptoms or high PSA suggesting prostate cancer.
Tromsø, TromsAges Any age - NCT07264868Recruiting
Home nerve stimulator for bladder control after spinal cord injury
This study tests a portable nerve stimulator you can use at home to help control bladder function after a spinal cord injury. The device sends gentle pulses to a nerve in your ankle to improve bladder symptoms like urgency or leakage.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT07259512RecruitingPhase 4
Ramipril once or twice a day for kidney and heart health
This trial tests whether taking ramipril once or twice daily better protects kidney function in people with both chronic kidney disease (stages 3-5, not on dialysis) and heart failure with low pumping strength. It aims to find the best dosing schedule to help both organs.
Kartasura, Central JavaAges 18 years+ - NCT07266181RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for tough-to-treat membranous nephropathy
This trial tests whether specially engineered immune cells (CAR-T cells) can help people with a kidney condition called primary membranous nephropathy that has not improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can reduce protein in the urine and protect kidney function.
Xi'an, ChinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07262060RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing kidney problems in preterm babies with caffeine
This study tests whether giving caffeine to very premature babies can help protect their kidneys as they grow. We will use a special light monitor on the skin to check blood flow to the brain and kidneys.
Madison, WisconsinAges 12 hours–4 days - NCT07260071Recruiting
High blood pressure in kids at risk for inherited kidney disease
This study looks for early signs of high blood pressure in children and teens (12–17) who have a parent with ADPKD, a kidney condition. It uses non-invasive tests like blood pressure monitoring and MRI to track kidney health.
LondonAges 12–17 - NCT07267364Recruiting
Pelvic floor exercises for children with bladder issues
This study tests two types of exercises to help children with bladder control problems. It compares standard pelvic floor training with a special exercise approach that may improve how the bladder and muscles work together.
Konya, KonyaAges 5–18 - NCT07260435RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter hormone treatment for low volume spread prostate cancer
This study tests whether a shorter course of a newer hormone pill (apalutamide or enzalutamide) works well for men whose prostate cancer has spread to just a few spots and who recently started standard hormone therapy. It may allow you to take medication for less time while still controlling the cancer.
AlkmaarAges 18 years+ - NCT05442463Recruiting
Hormone effects on blood vessel narrowing in kidneys and arteries
This study looks at how hormone treatments (estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone) may affect how blood vessels tighten in the body, including in the kidneys. Researchers measure these effects to understand potential impacts on blood flow and blood vessel control.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–90 - NCT06754189Recruiting
Study of UCon Patch Electrode for bladder or bowel control
This trial tests a new patch electrode placed on the skin to treat overactive bladder or bowel dysfunction. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT06898294Recruiting
Using electrical imaging to check kidney function
This study tests a new way to measure kidney function using harmless electrical signals instead of needles. It may help people with chronic kidney disease avoid frequent blood draws.
Hong KongAges 18–90 - NCT06898216Recruiting
Comparing two tools for small kidney stones
This trial tests if a new steerable scope works better than a standard scope for removing small kidney stones (<2 cm) from the lower part of the kidney. It aims to find a safer and more effective way to treat these stones.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03861507Recruiting
Power ultrasound helps locate prostate treatment needles
This trial studies whether a special ultrasound method (power Doppler ultrasound) can better guide where needles go during high-dose-rate radiation treatment for prostate cancer. The goal is to improve targeting during the procedure while you receive standard treatment.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06899789Recruiting
Long-term follow-up of colitis from checkpoint inhibitors
This study follows people who developed colitis (inflammation in the colon) after receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors for cancer. Researchers want to learn about long-term effects and outcomes.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT05344235Recruiting
Study of very short radiation schedules for prostate cancer
This observational study looks at how well men with localized prostate cancer do when treated with an unusually short radiation approach. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most by tracking outcomes and imaging over time.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges Any age - NCT05581147Recruiting
Thyroid health in Klinefelter syndrome
This study looks at how the thyroid gland works and how it looks on ultrasound in people with classic (non-mosaic) 47,XXY Klinefelter syndrome. It may help doctors understand thyroid-related problems in this condition by comparing test results, symptoms, and imaging.
RomaAges 1–80 - NCT06040281Recruiting
Smart and fit for kidney transplant
This trial tests if a smartphone app can help people on dialysis get ready for a kidney transplant. You'll get support with exercise, nutrition, and emotional health.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06583733Recruiting
Keeping up bladder health with a self-management app
This study tests a self-management program for bladder health using a smartphone or tablet app. It is designed to help people aging well manage leaks and avoid complications, without needing to visit a doctor.
KaunasAges 50–100 - NCT07258407RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TD001 for men with PSMA-positive metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug, TD001, in men whose prostate cancer has spread and is no longer responding to standard hormone therapy. It aims to see if TD001 is safe and effective against tumors that show a specific marker called PSMA.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06824376Recruiting
Acupuncture for high uric acid without gout
This trial tests if manual acupuncture can safely lower uric acid in people who have high levels but have never had a gout attack. It aims to find a drug-free way to manage hyperuricemia before it causes joint problems.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07258056Recruiting
Using PET/MRI to find prostate cancer after a normal MRI
This study uses a special type of PET/MRI scan and targeted biopsies to find prostate cancer in men who have a high PSA density but a normal MRI or negative biopsy. It aims to better detect cancer that may be missed by standard tests.
Aarhus N, AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07258563Recruiting
