Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06276465RecruitingPhase 3
Darolutamide with or without radiation for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to the drug darolutamide helps men with a specific type of advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and has spread to a few spots seen on special scans. The study aims to find the best way to control the cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
LorientAges 18 years+ - NCT06277427Recruiting
CAR-T cell therapy for refractory vasculitis and lupus nephritis
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy called CAR-T cells that target BCMA (a protein on certain immune cells) for people with two autoimmune diseases: ANCA-associated vasculitis and lupus nephritis. It is for patients whose disease has not responded to standard treatments or has come back after initial improvement.

Finerenone in real-world diabetes and kidney disease
This study looks at how the medication finerenone works in everyday medical practice for people with type 2 diabetes and certain stages of chronic kidney disease. It aims to see how safe and effective the treatment is outside of a clinical trial setting.
Multiple Locations, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06278506Recruiting
Comparing surgery versus ablation for small kidney tumors
This trial compares two standard treatments for small kidney tumors: removing the tumor surgically (resection) or destroying it with heat or cold (ablation). The goal is to see which approach works better for tumors 3 cm or smaller.
StockholmAges 18–99 - NCT06279260Recruiting
National robotic prostate surgery database study
This study collects health information from men who have had robotic surgery for prostate cancer. It aims to learn more about the outcomes of this surgery to help improve future care.
Ballarat, VictoriaAges 18–90 - NCT06280781Recruiting
Long-term active surveillance for prostate cancer
This trial studies whether men with low-risk prostate cancer can safely avoid treatment by closely monitoring their cancer over many years. It tests a new approach to see if it is better than the current standard of care.
Ascot, BerkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06281080Recruiting
New robotic tool for removing early bladder tumors
This trial tests a new robotic system to remove bladder tumors in one piece (en-bloc resection) for people with early-stage, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. It may offer a more precise surgical option for eligible patients.
ShatinAges 18–75 - NCT06281678RecruitingPhase 2
Study of IBI363 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called IBI363 for people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective. You may be able to join if you are generally well and have not had other cancer treatments recently.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06282588RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Advanced imaging-guided treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan (PSMA PET/CT) and a genetic test (Decipher) to decide the best treatment for high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread outside the pelvis. You'll receive standard radiation and hormone therapy, possibly with an extra drug (darolutamide).
Wilrijk, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06285292Recruiting
Vaginal probe and app for stress incontinence
This study tests a new device: a small vaginal probe connected to a mobile app. It may help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles to reduce stress urinary incontinence (leaking when you cough, sneeze, or exercise).
NantesAges 18–60 - NCT06286748Recruiting
Beetroot drink and exercise for kidney disease
This study tests if drinking beetroot extract along with a structured exercise program can help people with chronic kidney disease. It looks at whether this combination can improve health and delay the need for more advanced treatments.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–65 - NCT06287541Recruiting
Do you need a second bladder surgery after a negative urine test?
This study looks at whether a second bladder surgery is still needed for people with high-risk bladder cancer who had a negative urine test after their first surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06288204Recruiting
Green Propolis and Royal Jelly for Kidney Health
This trial tests whether a supplement made from green propolis (a natural bee product) and royal jelly can help people with high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease. It aims to see if the supplement can improve kidney health and blood pressure control.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–75 - NCT06288113RecruitingPhase 2
Re-treatment with 177Lu-PSMA-617 for prostate cancer
This trial tests if a second round of a targeted radiation therapy (177Lu-PSMA-617) can help men whose prostate cancer has returned after a successful first treatment. It is for men whose cancer has stopped responding to hormone therapy and chemotherapy, and whose PSA levels have risen again after a prior good response to this drug.
