This study tests whether a GLP-1 drug (semaglutide) can improve intestinal barrier function in people with short bowel syndrome and intestinal failure. Twenty adults will receive either the drug or a placebo for 28 days, alongside standard care. Researchers will measure blood mar…

This study tests whether giving two drugs (toripalimab and lenvatinib) before and after surgery can help shrink kidney tumors in people with clear cell renal cell carcinoma. About 75 adults with different stages of the disease will receive the drugs for 4 cycles before surgery, a…

This study tests whether using a salt substitute instead of regular salt can help preserve kidney function in people who have had surgery for a kidney tumor. About 200 adults who had part or all of a kidney removed will be randomly assigned to use either a salt substitute or regu…

This study tests whether PET/CT scans can safely guide a treatment break for people with advanced kidney cancer. Participants must have responded well to at least 12 months of standard therapy. The goal is to see if stopping treatment based on scan results can maintain disease co…

This study looks at how well the drug vorolanib works for people with advanced kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It is for patients who need a second treatment after the first one stopped working. Researchers will track how long patients live without …

This study tests a treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) to see if it can prevent early worsening of symptoms in people who have had a mild stroke caused by a blocked small artery. The treatment involves briefly inflating a blood pressure cuff on the arm to restr…

This study is for people with kidney cancer that got worse after immunotherapy. It tests a special type of radiotherapy (multimodal radiotherapy) to see if it can control the cancer better. About 35 participants will receive this treatment, and doctors will monitor tumor shrinkag…

This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help radiologists spot brain aneurysms more accurately on CT scans. Over 6,450 adults across 21 hospitals in China will have their scans randomly assigned to be read with or without AI assistance. The goal is …

This study compares two types of conscious sedation used during emergency clot removal in people having a major stroke. The goal is to see which method helps patients recover better and have fewer complications. About 810 adults with a blocked artery in the front part of the brai…

This study is testing whether a simple blood test that looks for tumor DNA can detect if kidney cancer has come back after surgery, possibly earlier than standard imaging scans. Researchers will follow 450 people with newly diagnosed kidney cancer who are having surgery. The goal…

This study compares two ways to reach and remove a blood clot in a major artery at the back of the brain during a severe stroke. One method goes through an artery in the wrist, the other through the groin. About 386 adults with this type of stroke will be randomly assigned to one…

This study looks at 400 people with cirrhosis and sudden bleeding from enlarged veins in the food pipe. It compares getting an emergency scope within 6 hours versus waiting 6 to 24 hours. The goal is to see which timing better prevents repeat bleeding over the next 42 days.

This study tests whether special ultrasound scans (CEUS and super-resolution imaging) can predict how well the kidneys will work after partial or complete kidney removal for cancer. About 285 adults will get these scans before and after surgery, plus blood and urine tests, and be…
