PSMA-targeted radiation before prostate removal for advanced cancer
This trial tests giving a radioactive drug (PSMA-targeted) before surgery for prostate cancer that has spread locally but not to other parts of the body. The goal is to see if it helps lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
Petah TikvaAges 18 years+ - NCT07208682Recruiting
Bladder safety check during sling surgery
This study checks if a special fluid injection during sling surgery can help prevent bladder injury. It may make the procedure safer for women having this common incontinence surgery.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07210086RecruitingPhase 2
PET scans to guide radiation for limited metastatic prostate cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan (POSLUMA) before and after radiation to see if it helps treat prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots outside the pelvis. It's for men whose cancer still responds to hormone therapy and who have not had widespread spread.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07209176Recruiting
Why men may not get genetic testing for prostate cancer
This study looks at why some men with metastatic prostate cancer do or don't get a genetic test called NGS. It aims to find barriers to testing, so doctors can better help patients in the future.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07206537Recruiting
Vitamin K2 to prevent steroid bone loss in children
This study tests whether vitamin K2 can help prevent bone loss caused by steroid treatment in children with nephrotic syndrome. If your child meets the requirements, taking vitamin K2 may protect their bones while they receive steroids.
CairoAges 1–16 - NCT07205692Recruiting
Heart health and multiple conditions after kidney transplant
This study looks at how common heart problems and other health conditions affect kidney transplant patients over time. Researchers hope to learn how to better manage these risks.
Derby, DerbyshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07209878RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
PET scan vs. MRI for prostate cancer diagnosis
This trial compares two types of imaging scans (a PSMA PET scan and an MRI) to see which is better at finding prostate cancer. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for prostate removal surgery and haven't started cancer treatment yet.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT07206524Recruiting
Testing magnesium in dialysis fluid for people in OMAGOD study
This trial is for people already enrolled in the OMAGOD pilot study. It tests whether changing the amount of magnesium in a special dialysis fluid can reduce unwanted blood clotting and inflammation during dialysis.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07204132Recruiting
Freezing and Immunotherapy for Bladder Cancer
This study tests a combination treatment for people with early-stage bladder cancer who want to avoid bladder removal. It uses a freezing technique (cryoablation) inside the bladder along with immunotherapy drugs to see if this can cure the cancer while keeping the bladder.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07207031Enrolling by invitation
Kidney injury in ICU patients: a study
This study tracks how often kidney problems occur in ICU patients. By watching your kidney function during your stay, researchers hope to better understand and prevent kidney injury in critically ill people.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT07210710Recruiting
Education and support program for early-stage kidney disease
This study tests a program that provides education, support, and guidance to help people with early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) better understand their condition and manage their health. If you have diabetes and stage 3 CKD, this program may help you stay healthier and prevent the disease from getting worse.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07207824RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of a drug (DV) and BCG immunotherapy for people with high-risk, early-stage bladder cancer that has not spread into the muscle. The cancer must show a specific protein called HER2 on its cells.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07205783Enrolling by invitation
Comparing surgery and radiation for early prostate cancer
This trial compares two standard treatments for prostate cancer that hasn't spread: surgery to remove the prostate (radical prostatectomy) and radiation therapy (curative radiotherapy). It looks back at past patients to see which treatment worked better.
SohagAges 40 years+ - NCT07203131Recruiting
NAD+ metabolism and kidney risk in intensive care
This trial tests whether changes in NAD+ (a natural molecule in your cells) affect kidney health during intensive care. It aims to predict and prevent acute kidney injury in patients at high risk.
TrappesAges 18 years+ - NCT06929169RecruitingPhase 2
SGLT2 inhibitor heart health study in dialysis patients
This study tests whether a medicine called an SGLT2 inhibitor (a type of diabetes drug also used for heart failure) affects the heart and blood vessels in people with kidney failure who are on dialysis. It will help doctors understand if this medicine is safe and helpful for dialysis patients.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges 18–70 - NCT06926374Recruiting
Robotic surgery for gastrointestinal and urologic conditions
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT06273345Recruiting
Treating the primary tumor for prostate cancer that has spread a little
This trial studies whether treating the main prostate tumor with local therapy (like surgery or radiation) along with hormone therapy is beneficial for men whose cancer has spread to only a few spots in the body (low-volume metastases). It focuses on men who have not had any prior treatment for their prostate cancer.
Brixen, BolzanoAges 18 years+ - NCT06751498Recruiting
Predicting kidney function after partial nephrectomy with AI
This trial uses a special computer model to predict how well your kidneys will work after surgery to remove part of a kidney (partial nephrectomy). It may help doctors plan better care for people with early-stage kidney tumors.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06791447Recruiting
AI predicts dialysis outcomes using health records
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze electronic health records and predict how well dialysis is working. If you've been on dialysis for at least 3 months, your data could help improve future care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 20–100 - NCT06932042Recruiting
Protein-controlled diet for kidney disease management
This trial tests a low-protein diet (called PLADO) to help manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3–5. It aims to slow kidney decline and improve nutrition. You may join if your kidney function is stable and your blood sugar and blood pressure are under control.
BeirutAges 18 years+ - NCT03586518Recruiting
Non-contrast heart MRI test in dialysis patients
This trial checks whether a new kind of heart MRI (done without contrast dye) can help doctors see heart changes in people receiving hemodialysis. It may help improve how heart health is measured in dialysis care, especially for people with limited time.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT06886256Recruiting
Pre-hab for kidney transplant patients
This trial helps frail older adults get stronger before a kidney transplant. You'll take part in a prehabilitation program to improve your health and readiness for surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 55 years+ - NCT06930079Recruiting
Fat injection for chronic fistulas of the gut and pelvis
This trial tests a new technique where a small amount of your own fat is taken, processed, and injected through an endoscope to help heal long-lasting fistulas (abnormal connections between organs) that haven't healed with other treatments. It's for people with fistulas that affect quality of life.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06933108Recruiting
