This study tests whether a weekly injection of semaglutide (a GLP-1 drug) can improve gut barrier function in adults with short bowel syndrome and intestinal failure. Twenty participants will receive either the drug or a placebo for 28 days, alongside standard care. The goal is t…

This study tests the drug vorolanib in people with advanced kidney cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It is for patients who need a second treatment after the first one stopped working. The goal is to see how long the drug controls the cancer and what side ef…

This study tests a non-drug treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) in 910 people who recently had a mild stroke caused by a blocked small artery. RIC involves briefly inflating a blood pressure cuff on the arm to trigger the body's natural protection against brain…

This study is for people with advanced kidney cancer whose disease is well-controlled after at least a year of combination therapy (immunotherapy plus a targeted drug). Researchers want to see if PET/CT scans can identify who can safely pause treatment without the cancer growing …

This study is testing a special type of radiotherapy for people with kidney cancer that got worse after immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can control the cancer and how safe it is. About 35 adults will take part, and their tumors will be checked regularly for up…

This study looks at whether using a salt substitute instead of regular salt can help protect kidney function in people who have had surgery for a kidney tumor. About 200 adults will be randomly assigned to use either a salt substitute or regular salt for one year. Researchers wil…

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 an artificial intelligence tool can help radiologists find brain aneurysms more accurately on CT scans. Over 6,400 adults across 21 hospitals in China will have their scans randomly reviewed with or without AI assistance. Neither the patients nor the doct…

This study looks at two different ways to keep patients comfortable and calm during emergency surgery to remove a blood clot from the brain after a stroke. The goal is to find out which method helps people recover better and have fewer problems. About 810 adults with a severe str…

This study tests whether special ultrasound scans can predict how well the kidneys will work after surgery for kidney cancer. About 285 adults who are having part or all of a kidney removed will get these scans before and after surgery. Researchers will compare the scan results w…

This study compares two ways to reach the blocked artery in a severe stroke: through the wrist (radial artery) or the groin (femoral artery). About 386 adults with a specific type of stroke (basilar artery occlusion) will be randomly assigned to one method. The goal is to see whi…

This study looks at whether a blood test that detects tiny bits of tumor DNA can help monitor kidney cancer after surgery. Researchers will follow 450 people with newly diagnosed kidney cancer who have surgery to remove the tumor. The goal is to see if this test can predict cance…

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.
