Ultrasound scan to check kidney cancer return after ablation
This study tests whether a special ultrasound scan with contrast can help doctors find kidney cancer that comes back after a procedure called ablation. It may help improve monitoring by comparing the ultrasound results with CT or MRI scans done soon after treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05642156Recruiting
Ultrafiltration versus usual dialysis in people on hemodialysis
This study compares a specific way of removing fluid during dialysis (isolated ultrafiltration) with conventional hemodialysis. It aims to see how each approach affects blood flow and fluid shifts in people with end-stage kidney disease.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT05645510Recruiting
Study for people on long-term cancer targeted medicines
This study looks at people who are already taking long-term targeted cancer medicines. It may help researchers understand how these treatments work over time and whether there are ways to improve care.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–90 - NCT05646485Recruiting
Bladder cancer screening for people at higher risk
This trial tests screening for bladder cancer in people who have higher risk due to age, smoking, and certain job exposures. It may help find bladder cancer earlier when treatment can be more effective.
Dallas, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT05646745Recruiting
Autologous sling surgery for stress urinary leakage in women
This trial studies a surgery that uses the patient’s own tissue to place a supportive sling for stress urinary incontinence (leakage with coughing, sneezing, or exercise). It may help women who haven’t improved with conservative treatments or who prefer not to try more non-surgical options.
CairoAges Any age - NCT05647070Recruiting
Sling surgery using your own tissue for stress urine leaks
This study looks at long-term results of a sling operation placed under the urethra using your own tissue to reduce urine leakage during activities like coughing or exercise. It may help women whose stress incontinence has not improved with conservative treatments (or who don’t want more non-surgical treatment).
CairoAges Any age - NCT05649306Recruiting
Surveys for coping and sexual health in bladder cancer survivors
This study asks women with bladder cancer to complete questionnaires about how they cope emotionally and about sexual health. It may help researchers understand what support survivors need and improve survivorship care.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05650619Recruiting
Study of return of kidney disease after transplant
This observational study looks at people with FSGS or minimal change disease whose kidney disease came back after a transplant. The goal is to better understand patterns of recurrence and what factors may be linked to it.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges Any age - NCT05652023Recruiting
Ultrasound test to check bladder muscle problems in adults
This study tests a noninvasive ultrasound approach to assess bladder muscle function during routine bladder testing. You may be offered ultrasound measurements while you already need standard care, aiming to improve how bladder problems are evaluated.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–90 - NCT05652374RecruitingPhase 4
Gag therapy for repeat bladder infections, compared to standard antibiotics
This trial tests a therapy (called GAG therapy) to prevent repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adult women. It compares how similar the results are to a well-known antibiotic standard (nitrofurantoin) to see if it works reliably.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT05655325Recruiting
Exercise program to improve thinking in older adults with mild memory trouble
This study tests whether a supervised exercise plan can improve executive thinking (like planning and task control) in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Researchers also look for brain changes using an MRI.
New York, New YorkAges 55 years+ - NCT05655494Recruiting
Helping underrepresented people find cancer clinical trials
This study tests an approach to help people from groups historically underrepresented in cancer trials learn about and connect to clinical trials. It may help you get easier, more personal ways to be contacted about research options.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT05656261Recruiting
Genetic testing study for African Americans
This study looks at genetic markers (genes) related to kidney risk in Black/African American adults. It may help researchers better understand who is at higher risk and how genetics could guide future care.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–90 - NCT05656235RecruitingPhase 2
Study of keeping kidneys longer in upper tract bladder cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a combination treatment can control high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer without removing the kidney and ureter (radical nephroureterectomy). It may help people who must avoid surgery or choose not to have it because of medical risk.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05656573RecruitingPhase 1
Study of PSMA-targeted CAR T for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a type of immune cell treatment (CAR T) made to recognize PSMA, a marker on prostate cancer cells. It’s for advanced prostate cancer and aims to find a safe dose and how well the treatment works.
BeijingAges 35–85 - NCT05657990RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Preventing trouble peeing after chest cancer surgery
This early-phase trial tests whether taking tamsulosin-like treatment around the time of chest cancer surgery can prevent urinary retention, when people cannot pee after surgery. It may help lower the chance of needing extra catheter care after the operation.
Brick, New JerseyAges 55 years+ - NCT05659589Recruiting
Using a kidney toxin level to predict heart effects in AKI
This study looks at whether measuring indoxyl sulfate, a substance that can build up when kidneys are injured, can help predict how blood vessels and the heart are affected during acute kidney injury (AKI). It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk of heart-related problems while AKI is happening.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05663710RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of 177Lu antibody and medicines for first advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new combination of targeted medicines (including 177Lu girentuximab) plus immunotherapy to treat people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer who have not had prior systemic (whole-body) treatment. It aims to shrink tumors and control disease by attacking cancer in multiple ways.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05665361RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing palbociclib plus sasanlimab for advanced kidney cancers
This study tests a combination of two medicines—palbociclib and sasanlimab—in people with advanced clear cell or papillary kidney cancer. It’s mainly designed to check safety (and early signs of how well the treatment may work) in these cancer types.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05669950RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug Lu AG13909 for congenital adrenal hyperplasia
This early study tests Lu AG13909 in people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. It aims to see how the drug affects hormone levels and whether it is safe for different CAH hormone patterns.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–70 - NCT05670938Recruiting
Follow-up after testicular cancer surgery and chemotherapy
This study looks at how people should be followed after treatment for testicular cancer (surgery and, for some, chemotherapy). It may help improve follow-up plans while keeping an eye out for cancer coming back.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05672485Recruiting
Scan prostate cancer using a radioactive tracer SPECT/CT
This trial uses a special imaging scan (SPECT/CT) with a small amount of radioactive tracer to look at prostate cancer. It aims to see how well the scan matches your prostate cancer tests and may help improve detection and assessment.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT05672615Recruiting
Mood changes during bladder cancer treatment with BCG
This study looks at how bladder cancer treatment with BCG may affect mood and emotional well-being. It may help doctors understand which patients experience mood changes during care.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05678413Recruiting
Paclitaxel study for short anterior urethral narrowing
This study looks at whether paclitaxel can help treat a short narrowing (stricture) in the front part of the urethra. You might be considered if your symptoms and urine flow match specific cutoffs and if you have not had prior treatment for this problem.
