This study is testing whether switching to a special salt substitute can help protect kidney function in people who have had surgery to remove a kidney tumor. Researchers will compare patients using a potassium-enriched, low-sodium salt to those using regular table salt for one y…

This study is testing if a special type of scan (PET/CT) can safely tell doctors when to pause treatment for people with advanced kidney cancer. It is for patients who have responded well to at least a year of standard drug therapy. The goal is to see if a closely monitored break…

This study tests whether repeatedly squeezing the arms with a blood pressure cuff can prevent stroke symptoms from getting worse. Researchers will enroll 910 people who recently had a small, deep brain stroke. Half will receive real arm pressure training, while half get a fake tr…

This study aims to find out if performing a camera scope procedure (endoscopy) urgently within 6 hours is better than waiting 6 to 24 hours for patients with advanced liver disease who have a dangerous bleed from swollen veins in their stomach or esophagus. It will enroll 400 pat…

This study is testing whether adding a specialized form of radiation therapy can help control advanced kidney cancer that has started growing again after initial immunotherapy treatments. It will involve about 35 patients whose cancer has spread to multiple sites. The main goal i…

This study is observing how well the drug vorolanib works and how safe it is for patients with advanced kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It involves 39 adults who are receiving vorolanib as their second treatment option. Researchers will track how lo…

This study is testing whether a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help radiologists better detect brain aneurysms on standard CT scans. Over 6,450 patients across China will have their scans reviewed either with the real AI's help or a fake version, and neither patients n…

This study aims to find out which of two common sedation drugs works better for patients having emergency surgery to remove a stroke-causing blood clot. Researchers will compare midazolam and dexmedetomidine in 810 stroke patients to see which leads to better recovery and fewer d…

This study is testing a new type of blood test to see if it can detect the return of kidney cancer earlier than current standard scans. It will follow 450 patients who are having surgery for newly diagnosed kidney cancer. Researchers will track changes in genetic markers in the b…

This study is testing whether advanced ultrasound imaging can predict how well a patient's kidneys will work after surgery to remove kidney cancer. Researchers will use special contrast-enhanced ultrasound scans before and after surgery on about 285 patients to see if the images …
