Robot-assisted prostate biopsy using a new ultrasound probe
This trial tests a robot-assisted method for taking prostate biopsies using a new type of ultrasound probe. It may help men with certain high-risk features get a more precise diagnosis.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 40–75 - NCT06420115Recruiting
Comparing needle sizes for prostate MRI-targeted biopsy
This study compares two different needle sizes used during a prostate biopsy to see which one finds cancer more accurately and causes fewer side effects. It is for people who have not been diagnosed with prostate cancer before and have a suspicious MRI finding.
Padua, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07258056Recruiting
Using PET/MRI to find prostate cancer after a normal MRI
This study uses a special type of PET/MRI scan and targeted biopsies to find prostate cancer in men who have a high PSA density but a normal MRI or negative biopsy. It aims to better detect cancer that may be missed by standard tests.
Aarhus N, AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT06307938Recruiting
Liquid biopsy test for colorectal cancer before colonoscopy
This trial tests a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to find cancer signals in the DNA of people being called for a colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, your blood sample could help doctors detect colorectal cancer earlier and plan better treatment.
LevangerAges 18 years+ - NCT07146295Recruiting
ICG dye to find sentinel nodes in breast cancer surgery
This trial tests using a green dye called ICG (indocyanine green) during breast cancer surgery to find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) that cancer may have spread to. It aims to help doctors locate these nodes more accurately, and is for people with early-stage breast cancer that has not yet spread to the lymph nodes.
AlkmaarAges 18 years+ - NCT05467033RecruitingPhase 3
Desmopressin to improve safety after kidney biopsy
This trial tests whether desmopressin can make kidney biopsy safer by reducing bleeding risk. It compares safety outcomes after a biopsy in people who meet specific blood, medication, and health criteria.
BialystokAges 18–99 - NCT07130578Recruiting
Urine DNA test to guide second bladder cancer surgery
This trial is testing whether a urine test for tumor DNA/RNA can help guide the decision for a second surgery in people with high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to see if the urine test can predict who needs the second surgery, potentially avoiding unnecessary procedures.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT06964308Recruiting
Lung lining biopsy study for adults with suspected pleural disease
This study uses a small camera to take a sample of your lung lining (pleura) to help diagnose the cause of your symptoms. It is for adults who need this biopsy to find out what is wrong.
SohagAges 18 years+ - NCT07121595RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized neck radiation for mouth cancer with sentinel node biopsy
This study tests whether a personalized approach to radiation therapy after surgery, guided by a special lymph node biopsy (sentinel node biopsy), can effectively treat mouth cancer while reducing side effects. It is for people whose cancer is on one side of the mouth and has not spread to the other side of the neck or beyond.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07101172Enrolling by invitation
Stress ball for anxiety and pain during prostate biopsy
This study tests whether using a stress ball during a prostate biopsy can help reduce anxiety and pain. It may be an option if you are having your first biopsy and can squeeze a ball.
Çorum, MerkezAges 18 years+ - NCT07080944Recruiting
Lymph node biopsy after chemo for inflammatory breast cancer
This trial is testing if a less invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy can replace more extensive lymph node removal in women with inflammatory breast cancer who have had chemotherapy and whose nodes appear cancer-free. This could help avoid unnecessary side effects.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07075705Recruiting
Testing a new ultrasound method for prostate biopsy
This trial compares a new micro-ultrasound technique to standard ultrasound during prostate biopsy, using MRI results as a guide. It aims to see if the newer method finds cancer more accurately.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07046572Recruiting
Pain relief for IUD insertion or endometrial biopsy
This trial tests if a pain-relief medication called methoxyflurane can help women who haven't had children before feel less pain during IUD insertion or a uterine biopsy. If you're getting one of these procedures and are not currently breastfeeding or using strong painkillers, this study might be for you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT07021040Recruiting
Nasal biopsy study for Alzheimer's and smell disorders
This study takes a small tissue sample from inside your nose to look for changes linked to Alzheimer's disease or smell problems. It may help us better understand how these conditions affect the brain.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06263361Recruiting
Making brain biopsies safer for lymphoma patients
This trial tests a new method to improve the safety and accuracy of brain biopsies in people with a type of lymphoma that starts in the brain or spinal cord. It may help reduce complications and get more reliable results.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05108090Recruiting
