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.

Finding early heart failure in at-risk adults across Germany
This study uses heart MRI scans to find unrecognized heart failure in people who have risk factors like diabetes, kidney disease, high blood pressure, or obesity but haven't been diagnosed with heart failure yet. If you join, you will help researchers learn how common hidden heart failure is and take an important step for your own heart health.

Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07187180Recruiting
Comparing two laser surgeries for enlarged prostate
This trial compares two types of laser surgery (Thulio and Holmium) for treating an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). It aims to see which laser works better and is safer, so you may get a more effective procedure with fewer side effects.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06250582Recruiting
Can Virtual Reality Reduce Symptoms During Dialysis?
This study tests whether using virtual reality can help reduce symptoms (like fatigue, pain, or anxiety) during dialysis. You would use a VR headset during your regular dialysis sessions and report how you feel.

Study for menopause symptoms after breast cancer
This trial tests a treatment for menopause-like vaginal symptoms that can happen after breast cancer treatment. It aims to help survivors feel more comfortable.
MadridAges 38 years+ - NCT06936631Recruiting
Comparing catheter replacement in urinary tract infections
This study tests whether replacing a urinary catheter early during a catheter-related infection leads to better outcomes than keeping it in place. It may help people who have had a catheter for at least two weeks and develop a urinary tract infection.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06946771Recruiting
MRI and prostate lesions: understanding diagnosis and prognosis
This trial uses MRI scans to study prostate lesions and see how they relate to diagnosis, pathology, and long-term outcomes. It may help patients with concerns about prostate health get more detailed imaging.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07180121Enrolling by invitation
Information and support needs after bladder cancer surgery
This study looks at the information and support needs of people who have had bladder cancer and undergone a cystectomy. It aims to see how these needs change over time and to improve supportive care after surgery.
LinköpingAges 18–100 - NCT07175480RecruitingPhase 2
Stopping treatment for kidney cancer based on PET/CT results
This trial tests if people with advanced kidney cancer can safely stop all treatment if a special scan (PET/CT) shows their cancer has shrunk or disappeared. It's for those who have already been on a first-line immunotherapy plus targeted therapy for at least 12 months.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07179770RecruitingPhase 1
Belzutifan and imaging in advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests a new drug called belzutifan combined with a special imaging agent (89Zr-DFO-girentuximab) to see how they affect PET scans in people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer. It may help doctors better understand the cancer and guide treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07175051RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a kidney-protecting drug in sickle cell disease
This study tests whether empagliflozin, a medicine that protects the kidneys in people with diabetes, can also protect the kidneys in people with sickle cell disease. The goal is to see if it can reduce protein in the urine, which is a sign of kidney stress.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–60 - NCT07183800Recruiting
Trampoline jumping and pelvic health
This study looks at how trampoline jumping affects the structure of your pelvic floor (the muscles and tissues that support your bladder and other organs) and whether it causes any urine leakage. It may help us understand safe exercise for women who don't usually have leaks.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18–40 - NCT07177183Recruiting
Low creatinine as a sign of longer breathing tube use
This study looks at whether low blood creatinine levels can help predict which patients will need a breathing machine for a long time or have trouble coming off it. If you are under 18 and in a post-ICU care unit, you may be able to join.
BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT07182422RecruitingPhase 4
AST-120 for kidney protection after acute kidney injury
