Vorinostat and 177Lu-PSMA-617 for PSMA-Low prostate cancer
This trial tests two drugs: vorinostat (a pill that may make cancer cells easier to target) and 177Lu-PSMA-617 (a radioactive drug that seeks out prostate cancer cells). It is for men with a specific type of advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and shows low levels of PSMA on a PET scan.

SGLT2 inhibitor for lupus nephritis with kidney disease
This study tests if an SGLT2 inhibitor can help protect kidney function in people who have lupus nephritis (kidney inflammation caused by lupus) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The goal is to see if this medicine can slow down further kidney damage.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06158620RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nasal spray for pain after ureter stent placement
This trial tests whether a nasal spray form of the painkiller ketorolac can safely reduce pain from a ureteral stent after stone surgery. If you are having a ureteroscopy with stent placement, this might help you manage discomfort without stronger medications.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06161506RecruitingPhase 2
Electrical stimulation for urinary incontinence after prostate cancer treatment
This trial tests a non-surgical, non-drug treatment that uses gentle electrical stimulation on the skin to help strengthen the muscles that control urine leakage. It's for men who still have urinary incontinence at least 6 months after their prostate cancer treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06161701Recruiting
Steroid-related diabetes in kidney disease patients
This trial looks at how steroids affect blood sugar in people with certain kidney diseases. If you are starting steroid treatment, this study may help understand and manage the risk of developing diabetes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06162546Recruiting
Registry for resistant nephrotic syndrome in children
This study tracks children with nephrotic syndrome whose kidney disease does not respond to usual treatments. It aims to collect information and samples to better understand resistant forms of the condition.

Chlorhexidine bladder wash for people with long-term suprapubic catheters
This study tests whether washing the bladder with a solution called chlorhexidine (a germ-killer) can lower the number of unplanned hospital visits and improve quality of life for people who have a long-term suprapubic catheter. You may be eligible if you have had a catheter for at least a year and have had a recent urinary tract infection.

Heart risk reduction in prostate cancer patients on hormone therapy
This study tests whether a team of doctors, nurses, and other specialists can help reduce the risk of heart problems in men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy (ADT). It focuses on providing extra support for heart health.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT06165302Recruiting
Exercise study for men with advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help men with metastatic prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy. It looks at changes in cancer cells and overall well-being.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06167174Recruiting
Looking for markers to predict lupus kidney treatment response
This study is looking for biomarkers (clues in your blood, urine, or tissue) that can help predict how well lupus nephritis (kidney inflammation caused by lupus) responds to treatment. It focuses on people who have active kidney disease and are either starting treatment or have been on a stable treatment for at least a month.

Bladder cancer relapse and quality of life study after TURBT
This study tracks patients with early-stage bladder cancer after surgery (TURBT) to see how often the cancer returns and how it affects your daily life.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06167629Recruiting
PSMA PET scan study for prostate cancer
This study uses a special type of PET scan called PSMA PET to better understand and track prostate cancer. The scan helps doctors see where the cancer is in the body and if treatment is working.

MRI-guided radiation dose reduction for prostate cancer
This trial tests whether using MRI scans to guide radiation can allow lower doses to the healthy parts of the prostate, potentially reducing side effects. It is for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer that can be seen on MRI and has not spread.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06171139Recruiting

San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06172283Recruiting
Intermittent fasting with hormone therapy for prostate cancer
This trial tests whether intermittent fasting (alternating between eating and not eating for certain periods) can help men with prostate cancer who are receiving hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy). It aims to see if fasting during treatment can reduce side effects or improve how well the therapy works.
