Diabetes insipidus

This study tests whether giving calcium before reaching the hospital and vasopressin early in the hospital can reduce deaths in people with severe bleeding from injury. About 1050 adults at risk of hemorrhagic shock will be randomly assigned to receive these treatments or placebo…

This study tests whether giving the drug vasopressin earlier or later during septic shock leads to better outcomes. Researchers will use a computer alert system to randomly assign 300 ICU patients to early or standard timing. The goal is to see if the timing can be reliably contr…

This phase II trial is testing whether giving a lower dose of radiation after chemotherapy can effectively treat children and young adults with central nervous system germinomas, a type of brain tumor. The study will enroll 240 participants aged 3 to 29. After initial chemotherap…

This early-stage trial tests a daily capsule called NDI-5001 in 24 adult men with a rare inherited kidney condition (X-linked congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus) that causes extreme thirst and frequent urination. The study's main goal is to check the drug's safety and how …

This study tests whether giving vasopressin early, along with norepinephrine, is better than waiting to use it as a rescue treatment for people with septic shock. About 2,800 critically ill adults will be randomly assigned to one of two strategies. The main goal is to see which a…

This study tests four different drugs (norepinephrine, epinephrine, phenylephrine, and vasopressin) in ICU patients with shock that doesn't improve with fluids. The goal is to see which drug causes fewer dangerous heart rhythm problems and improves survival. About 836 adults will…

This study tests whether giving a combination of three drugs (epinephrine, vasopressin, and a steroid) during emergency treatment for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest can restart the heart and improve survival compared to the standard drug epinephrine alone. About 1,344 adults in T…

This study compares a new diagnostic test using mannitol infusion to the standard hypertonic saline test for diagnosing the cause of polyuria-polydipsia syndrome (excessive urination and thirst). Researchers will enroll 144 adults to see if the mannitol test is as accurate and mo…

This study looks at two substances in the blood—endocan and copeptin—in 40 premature babies born between 28 and 36 weeks who have breathing trouble (respiratory distress syndrome). Researchers will measure these markers on the first day of life to see if they can predict how seve…

This study tests whether a nasal spray containing oxytocin can help reduce anxiety and improve emotional well-being in adults with central diabetes insipidus, a condition where the body lacks a key hormone. Participants will receive either oxytocin or a placebo spray for several …

This study tests whether a smart water bottle that lights up when you're behind on drinking can help college students drink more water. Thirty students who currently drink less than recommended will use the bottle for a period, along with tracking their urine color and thirst. Th…

This study is testing whether taking estrogen pills (estradiol valerate or ethinylestradiol) can safely trigger the release of oxytocin, a hormone important for social bonding and childbirth. Researchers will measure oxytocin levels in 28 healthy volunteers and patients with AVP …

This study tests whether a nasal spray containing vasopressin, a brain chemical involved in social bonding, can enhance the ability to learn pain relief by watching another person. Healthy adults receive either vasopressin or a placebo spray, then watch a video of someone experie…

This study takes tissue samples from women having planned C-sections and tests four drugs (ephedrine, phenylephrine, norepinephrine, vasopressin) in a dish to see how they affect womb muscle and umbilical blood vessels. The goal is to understand which drugs might be safer for mot…

This study looks at whether measuring a substance called copeptin in the blood can help doctors diagnose central diabetes insipidus (CDI) in children after brain surgery. CDI causes extreme thirst and frequent urination due to a hormone imbalance. The study will track copeptin le…

This study tests whether music enhanced with sonic augmentation technology can increase oxytocin (a hormone linked to social bonding) with few side effects. Researchers will compare the modified music to regular music in 22 healthy adults and patients with AVP-deficiency. The goa…

This study looks at the best way to stop the blood pressure medication vasopressin in people with septic shock. It compares slowly reducing the dose versus stopping it all at once. The goal is to see which method causes fewer dangerous drops in blood pressure. The study involves …

This study is building a worldwide registry for people with Wolfram syndrome, a rare genetic disorder causing diabetes, vision loss, and hearing problems. Researchers will track how the disease progresses over time and analyze participants' genetic information. The goal is to bet…
