This study tests a new drug called AZD6621 for men with metastatic prostate cancer that no longer responds to standard hormone therapy. The goal is to see how safe it is and whether it can slow down the cancer.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07187479Recruiting
Testing a new insulin approach for kidney disease and diabetes
This study tests a new approach to help your body use insulin better, which may improve blood sugar control and slow down kidney disease. It is for people with advanced chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes who are not yet on dialysis.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07193407Recruiting
Study of a new system for overactive bladder
This trial tests a personalized nerve stimulation system for women with overactive bladder that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well.
Kogarah, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07187713RecruitingPhase 4
Study of ACE Reno, Pico Cell Matrix for kidney health
This trial tests a new treatment called ACE Reno, Pico Cell Matrix to see if it can improve kidney function in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at various stages. It may be an option if you have early to moderate kidney issues (including after a transplant) and are already on standard therapies.
Giza, GZAges 18–80 - NCT06945315RecruitingPhase 3
Nerve-Sparing Surgery Guided by Micro-Ultrasound
This study tests whether using a special ultrasound tool during prostate cancer surgery helps protect the nerves that control erections. If you have good erectile function and are scheduled for nerve-sparing prostate removal, this trial may be a good fit for you.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06944743Recruiting
Prostate surgery for men with underactive bladder and blockage
This study tests a prostate surgery (TURP) in men with two bladder problems: a blockage leaving the bladder and a bladder that doesn't contract well. The goal is to see if the surgery can help improve bladder emptying.
SohagAges 40–70 - NCT07185165RecruitingPhase 2
PET Scan for Prostate Cancer Recurrence After Focal Therapy
This study uses a special PET/CT scan (Flotufolastat F 18) to look for leftover or returning prostate cancer after you've had a targeted treatment called focal therapy. The goal is to see if the scan can help find cancer that might need further treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT07187635Recruiting
Urine DNA test before a second bladder tumor surgery
This trial studies if a urine test for tumor DNA can help decide when a second surgery is needed for early stage bladder cancer. It may reduce unnecessary procedures for some patients.
Nanchang, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07193056Recruiting
CPH-MBD Cohort study for advanced kidney disease
This study is for people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD stages 4-5) whose kidneys are working at 29% or less. It aims to follow their health over time to better understand the condition.
HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT07188064Recruiting
Nerve surgery to help erections after prostate cancer surgery
This study tests a new nerve surgery to help men regain erections after prostate cancer surgery. It's for men who have had moderate to severe erectile dysfunction for at least 12 to 18 months after their prostate removal.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07186465RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing repeat bladder infections in postmenopausal women
This trial tests two approaches to prevent repeat bladder infections in postmenopausal women: a daily antibiotic pill or a vaginal tablet containing healthy bacteria and estrogen. The goal is to see which method works better over 6 months.
Bangkok, Phayatai RatchathewiAges 40 years+ - NCT07184970Recruiting
Detecting prostate cancer return after HIFU with advanced scans
This trial uses a special PET/MRI scan to check if prostate cancer has come back after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. It aims to find any remaining cancer early so doctors can plan next steps.
New York, New YorkAges 40–95 - NCT07184307Recruiting
Platelet-rich plasma vs botox for stubborn overactive bladder
This trial compares two treatments for overactive bladder (OAB) that hasn't improved with standard medications: injections of platelet-rich plasma (a substance from your own blood) versus botulinum toxin (Botox). Both are injected into the bladder to help reduce urgency and leakage.

Semaglutide for belly fat and liver health in kidney disease
