Check nodes in early mouth cancer using a biopsy or planned neck surgery
This trial studies two ways to check whether early oral cavity cancer has spread to nearby neck lymph nodes. It compares sentinel node biopsy versus limited elective neck dissection to see which approach is more useful for people with node-negative tongue or inner-cheek cancers.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–80 - NCT06810258Recruiting
Biomarkers before and after kidney transplant
This study will collect blood samples from people having a kidney biopsy or a kidney transplant to look for biomarkers (biological signs) that can give doctors more information about kidney health. Participating may help doctors better understand and treat kidney disease in the future.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT06907446Recruiting
New SUREcore needle vs standard care for prostate biopsy
This trial compares a new biopsy needle called SUREcore to the standard needle used during prostate biopsies. It aims to see if the SUREcore needle works better or causes less discomfort.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06923098Recruiting
PET/CT vs. CT for lung biopsy
This study compares two ways to guide a needle biopsy in people with suspected lung cancer: using a CT scan alone or using a combined PET/CT scan. The goal is to see which method better helps doctors get a clear diagnosis with fewer needle passes.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18 years+ - NCT06923657Recruiting
PSMA PET/MRI for guiding biopsy after negative MRI
This study tests whether a special type of PET/MRI scan (PSMA PET/MRI) can help doctors find hidden prostate cancer in men who have a rising PSA but previous negative biopsies and a non-suspicious MRI. It aims to improve detection without skipping needed treatment.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 30–85 - NCT07557901Enrolling by invitation
Antibiotics to prevent infection after prostate biopsy
This study tests whether taking antibiotics before a prostate biopsy (a needle procedure to check for cancer) reduces infections. You would receive either standard care or a specific antibiotic plan, and researchers will track any infections that develop.
Banská BystricaAges Any age - NCT07046832Enrolling by invitation
Augmented reality needle guidance for soft tissue biopsy
This trial tests a new augmented reality system that helps guide the needle during a soft-tissue biopsy. It may make the procedure more accurate and easier for your doctor.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06752395Enrolling by invitation
Freezing vs. forceps biopsy for small lung nodules
This trial compares two ways of taking a tissue sample from a small lung nodule: traditional forceps (like tiny tweezers) versus a newer freezing method (cryobiopsy). It will help find out which technique is better at getting enough tissue for diagnosis with fewer side effects.
BusanAges 18 years+ - NCT04293796Recruiting
Skipping breast surgery after complete response
This trial looks at whether some people with breast cancer can safely avoid breast surgery after they respond completely to treatment before surgery. If you have no remaining cancer in the tissue and lymph node tests, this study checks whether the “watch-and-wait” approach is feasible and safe.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–70 - NCT06306118Recruiting
Guiding device for more precise brain biopsies
This trial tests a new positioning device that helps doctors take small tissue samples (biopsies) from brain lesions more precisely during surgery. If you have a brain lesion that needs to be removed, this study may help improve accuracy.
Graz, StyriaAges 18–80 - NCT06412289Recruiting
Ultrasound vs CT for lung biopsy accuracy
This study compares two ways to take a tissue sample (biopsy) from lung growths that sit against the chest wall: one using a CT scanner and the other using an ultrasound machine. The aim is to see which method is better at getting an accurate diagnosis.
FerraraAges 18–90 - NCT07675317Recruiting
Comparing two biopsy methods for thin uterine lining
This trial tests two ways to take a small sample of the uterus lining (endometrium) when it is thin. The results may help women have a more comfortable and effective biopsy.
Bologna, BolognaAges 48–75 - NCT06824402Recruiting
Cryoprobe Biopsy for Chronic Rejection in Lung Transplant
This trial tests a new biopsy method called cryoprobe (using a cold probe) to better detect chronic rejection in lung transplant patients. It is for patients who already need a lung biopsy, either for routine monitoring or because of a concern.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–99 - NCT06833619Recruiting
A new way to get a liver biopsy using endoscopic ultrasound
This trial tests a new method for taking a small piece of liver tissue using a special ultrasound camera on a thin, flexible tube. It is for adults who need a liver biopsy because their liver function tests are not normal.
SohagAges 18–100 - NCT07710807Recruiting
Comparing two prostate biopsy methods
This trial compares two ways to take a prostate biopsy (through the rectum or through the skin between the scrotum and anus) to see which is more accurate. Men with suspicious MRI findings (PI-RADS 3, 4, or 5) who haven't had prostate cancer before may be eligible.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 50–75 - NCT03975179Recruiting
Frozen biopsy vs no frozen biopsy during breast-conserving surgery
This study compares two approaches during breast-conserving surgery: doing a quick “frozen section” biopsy during the operation versus deciding later without it. It aims to see which approach better guides treatment decisions about whether the cancer is close to the removed tissue edges (margins).
Goyang-siAges 19–70 - NCT04271527Recruiting
Compare two prostate biopsy guidance methods in men with PSA rise
This trial tests whether using a “cognitive” approach versus a software-guided approach to plan a prostate biopsy is just as effective. It may help improve how biopsies are targeted for men with PSA changes and/or abnormal prostate exams.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05470127Recruiting
Testing a new prostate biopsy needle against the usual one
This study compares a new prostate biopsy system/needle with the standard biopsy needle during your scheduled prostate biopsy. It looks at how well the procedure collects tissue for diagnosis and how the tissue samples compare.
