This trial tests if adding a special CT scan before bladder removal helps find muscle-invasive bladder cancer earlier. It includes people with different stages of bladder cancer who are planning to have their bladder removed.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06397287Recruiting
Urology patient feedback study
This study gathers information from urology patients using digital tools like email or apps. Your feedback could help improve care for others with urology conditions.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06397755Recruiting
Study of patients with prostate biopsy or prostate removal surgery
This study looks at patients who have had a prostate biopsy or surgery to remove the prostate (radical prostatectomy). It aims to learn more about these procedures and how patients are doing.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06398457RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Darzalex Before Stem Cell Transplant for High-Risk Graft Failure
This trial tests giving a drug called Darzalex Faspro before the usual desensitization and a stem cell transplant for people at high risk of graft failure due to donor-specific antibodies. The goal is to prevent the transplant from failing.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06398613Recruiting
Using PSMA PET scan before prostate cancer surgery
This trial is testing whether a special scan (PSMA PET/CT) before surgery can help doctors decide if you need to remove lymph nodes. It is for men with high-risk prostate cancer who are already planning to have robot-assisted prostate removal.

TEAS for chronic pain after liver surgery
This trial tests whether a gentle, needle-free electrical stimulation on certain points on the body (called TEAS) can help reduce chronic pain after liver surgery and improve long-term survival.

- How do I know if I qualify for a cancer trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
