NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05939830Recruiting
Skipping axillary lymph node surgery after treatment response
This study looks at whether some breast cancer patients can safely skip a surgery that removes lymph nodes in the armpit after their initial (pre-surgery) treatment shows the armpit is likely clear. It may reduce surgical side effects if the armpit truly responds well.
NanjingAges 18–70 - NCT07531329Recruiting
Delayed PSMA imaging to detect aggressive prostate cancer
This study tests whether a special type of imaging scan (PSMA PET/CT with delayed imaging) can better identify aggressive prostate cancer in men who haven't had a biopsy yet. The goal is to help doctors decide who really needs a biopsy and avoid unnecessary procedures.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT07526675Recruiting
Same-day prostate biopsy and heat treatment for cancer
This trial combines a biopsy (tissue sampling) with a heat-based ablation procedure in one visit to diagnose and treat early prostate cancer while also relieving severe urinary symptoms. It may help patients who need quick treatment and early discharge.
Banhā, Qalyubia GovernorateAges 1.5 years+ - NCT07516223Recruiting
MRI-guided prostate biopsy to reduce unnecessary tissue sampling
This study tests whether using MRI imaging to guide prostate biopsies can help doctors sample only suspicious areas instead of taking many samples throughout the prostate. It may reduce discomfort and complications while still finding prostate cancer if present.
ShanghaiAges 45 years+ - NCT07520890Recruiting
Bleeding Risk During Oral Biopsies in Patients on Blood Thinners
This study looks at whether patients taking certain blood-thinning medications (DOACs) have more bleeding during oral biopsies—small tissue samples taken from the mouth. Understanding this helps doctors know how to safely care for patients on these medications.
Pisa, PiAges 18 years+ - NCT07518953Recruiting
Can Music Help With Pain During a Nail Biopsy?
This study tests whether listening to music during a nail biopsy—a small procedure to remove a sample of nail tissue—can reduce pain and anxiety. You would listen to music during the procedure and answer a few questions about how you felt.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07516509Recruiting
How muscle cells respond to blood sugar in different body types
This research study examines how muscle cells handle blood sugar differently depending on whether someone is lean or has obesity, and whether their body resists insulin. Researchers will take small muscle samples to understand the genetic differences, which may help develop better treatments for insulin resistance and metabolic health.
Orlando, FloridaAges 30–65 - NCT07510334RecruitingPhase 2
VSV Virus Plus Immunotherapy for Advanced Kidney Cancer
This trial tests a combination of a special virus (VSV-IFNβ-NIS) with two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that hasn't been treated yet. It aims to see if this approach helps shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07513493RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two endometrial biopsy tools for women
This study compares two different devices used to collect tissue samples from the uterus (endometrial biopsy). Doctors use these samples to check for cancer or other problems when women have abnormal bleeding or other concerning symptoms. The trial will help determine which device works better and causes less discomfort.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18–95 - NCT06155305Recruiting
Organoid drug test before breast cancer surgery
This trial uses a lab-grown mini-tumor (organoid) from your biopsy to test which chemotherapy drugs work best for your cancer before you have surgery. The goal is to personalize your treatment and improve outcomes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT06763861Recruiting
Sacral nerve study for fecal incontinence after rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests how sacral neuromodulation affects the external anal sphincter in people with fecal incontinence after rectal cancer treatment. It aims to understand if this nerve stimulation can improve muscle function and reduce leakage.
Umeå, Västerbotten CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07503821Recruiting
Using joint tissue as a marker for pigmented villonodular synovitis
This study looks at whether tissue from the joint lining (synovium) can be used as a biomarker to help guide treatment for pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), a condition that causes joint swelling and damage. If you have PVNS and are scheduled for treatment, your joint tissue may be collected during your procedure to help doctors better understand the disease.
