Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05716880RecruitingPhase 3
Keto-like diet supplements for muscle loss in nephrotic syndrome
This Phase 3 study tests a keto-like supplement (Ketosteril) to help prevent or slow muscle loss in people with nephrotic syndrome. It may help by improving nutrition when the kidneys are leaking large amounts of protein.
Warsaw, Masovian DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT05720130RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced prostate cancer found on PSMA scans
This trial tests [212Pb]Pb-ADVC001, a radiotherapy-like cancer treatment, in people with advanced prostate cancer that shows up on a special PSMA scan. It aims to find the safest dose and see whether it helps shrink or control metastatic cancer.
Brisbane, QueenslandAges 18 years+ - NCT05722392Recruiting
Two-step surgery for localized prostate cancer
This trial studies a “two-step” type of prostate removal surgery for men with localized prostate cancer, focusing on whether it is safe and effective. It may help if you have certain prostate size, PSA level, and tumor features that match their criteria.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT05726136RecruitingPhase 4
Test fluid dosing during laparoscopic abdominal surgery
This trial tests a “fluid challenge” approach during surgery to better control your body’s fluid level. It may help guide how much fluid is safely given during longer laparoscopic abdominal operations.
Norrköping, Östergötland CountyAges 18–85 - NCT05726526Recruiting
Phone app monitoring to help people with advanced kidney disease
This study tests a phone app (with check-ins on things like blood pressure and weight) to help prevent complications in people with advanced chronic kidney disease. You may be a good match if you’re high risk and can actively measure and share your health data with a kidney care team.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT05726786RecruitingPhase 3
Immunonutrition before bladder removal surgery
This study tests whether a special nutrition drink given before open bladder surgery can reduce complications and improve the body’s immune response after surgery. It’s for adults having bladder removal and is compared against standard care.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT05726916RecruitingPhase 3
Eculizumab for severe kidney and blood clotting emergencies in adults
This trial studies eculizumab, a targeted blood-clotting and immune system medicine, for adults hospitalized with hypertensive emergency–associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (a serious condition affecting kidneys and blood). It aims to see whether the drug can improve outcomes after this life-threatening event.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05728216Recruiting
Using a special eye-scan to study kidney biopsy samples
This study tests whether a noninvasive “eye-scan” during a kidney biopsy can help doctors tell the difference between acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. If it works, it may improve how kidney problems are diagnosed in routine practice.
Chalon-sur-Saône, Saône-et-LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT05728957Recruiting
Biopsy and special scan for small kidney tumors
This trial studies using a kidney tumor biopsy and a special nuclear scan (SPECT/CT using sestamibi) to help evaluate kidney tumors before surgery. It may help doctors better characterize tumors that appear suspicious on imaging.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05732727RecruitingPhase 3
Stronger BP lowering using diuretics in kidney disease
This Phase 3 trial compares a plan that uses diuretics (water pills) to lower blood pressure more, versus usual blood pressure care, in people with uncontrolled hypertension and moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. It may help your blood pressure control while monitoring safety closely because kidney function changes how medicines work.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05737121RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for bladder pain compared with lidocaine, heparin, or placebo
This Phase 2 trial tests VNX001 to see if it helps people with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) compared with its separate ingredients (lidocaine and heparin) or a placebo (inactive treatment). You may be eligible if you have had IC/BPS for months and recently had a moderate-to-severe bladder pain flare.
Escondido, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05738525Recruiting
Compare two types of home dialysis for kidney outcomes and quality of life
This study compares two forms of home peritoneal dialysis—how well they work for kidney health and how they affect daily life. You may be considered if you have end-stage kidney disease and meet specific test and safety requirements.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05738330Recruiting
Symptom reporting during hemodialysis care
This study looks at how well a new phone or computer system can help people on hemodialysis report their symptoms. It may improve symptom tracking so clinics can better understand and respond to what you feel during treatment.
Waltham, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05738694RecruitingPhase 3
Test axitinib plus immunotherapy before kidney cancer surgery
This study tests whether taking axitinib plus an immunotherapy drug (PD-1) before surgery can help people with kidney cancer live longer without the cancer coming back. It’s focused on people who have a higher-risk kidney tumor based on scans and pathology findings.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT05739565Recruiting
Peer-supported exercise program for men with prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a structured physical activity plan, supported by peers (other participants), can help men with prostate cancer who are currently not very active. It aims to improve motivation and make it easier to exercise safely.
ChambéryAges 18 years+ - NCT05739968Recruiting
Active living program for early bladder cancer patients with their own bladder
This trial tests whether a structured “active-living” program (helping you be more active in daily life) improves outcomes for people newly diagnosed with operable early bladder cancer. It may help with overall health and quality of life while you receive standard bladder cancer care without removing your bladder.
TaipeiAges Any age - NCT05740579Recruiting
Storing eggs in teens with Turner syndrome variants
This study looks at freezing and storing eggs (cryopreservation) in children and teens with Turner syndrome or related genetic variants. It may help preserve the chance of having biological children later, if you are able to undergo the study procedures safely.
AarhusAges 2–17 - NCT05740956RecruitingPhase 1
Drug study for cancers with HRR gene or HRD changes
This Phase 1 study tests HS-10502 in people with advanced solid tumors that have certain DNA repair problems (HRR or HRD). It may help by finding a safe dose and seeing whether the drug can shrink tumors in cancers that have specific genetic features.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05743621RecruitingPhase 1
First TVB-2640 and enzalutamide for metastatic prostate cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a new medicine (TVB-2640) combined with enzalutamide in men with prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to hormone treatment. It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the treatment can work against the cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05745844Recruiting
Electro-stimulation plus exercise for prostate cancer muscle health
This trial tests whether adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation to an exercise program can improve strength and physical function in men with prostate cancer who are on hormone-blocking treatment. It may help prevent or reduce muscle weakness that can happen during androgen deprivation therapy.
AnnemasseAges 18–90 - NCT05753020Recruiting
Kidney care planning tool for older adults with advanced kidney disease
This pilot study tests a “JumpStart” tool to help people with advanced kidney disease talk with their clinician about treatment choices in a way that matches their values. It may help you have clearer conversations about next steps before dialysis becomes necessary.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 75 years+ - NCT05753566RecruitingPhase 2
Rezvilutamide for prostate cancer PSA rise after prostate surgery
This Phase 2 study tests rezvilutamide in men whose prostate-specific antigen (PSA) starts rising again after the prostate has been removed. It aims to see whether this treatment can help prevent or slow cancer spread after surgery, especially in men without signs of spread on scans.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 40 years+ - NCT05754580Recruiting
Boost radiation for intermediate or higher-risk prostate cancer
This study tests a stronger, focused radiation plan for intermediate to higher-risk prostate cancer. It combines a high-dose internal radiation “boost” with external radiation to try to improve cancer control while keeping side effects manageable.
