Testing RAG-01 for bladder cancer that returned after BCG treatment
This trial tests a new drug, RAG-01, for people with a type of bladder cancer called non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) that has come back after BCG therapy. The drug is given through a catheter into the bladder, and the study aims to see if it can help control the cancer.
St Leonards, New South WalesAges 18–75 - NCT06353321Recruiting
PSMA-PET imaging for guiding radiation therapy in prostate cancer
This study tests a new way to use a PSMA-PET scan (a special imaging test that finds prostate cancer cells) to guide a type of radiation treatment called BgRT. It is for men with prostate cancer who are already getting a PSMA-PET scan as part of their regular care.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT06353386RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Opevesostat combinations for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new drug called opevesostat, alone or combined with other treatments, for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. It aims to see if it can help control the cancer.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06353906RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy for advanced penile cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) plus the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for penile cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer before or after surgery.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06354231RecruitingPhase 2
Kidney-sparing combo for high-risk ureter cancer
This trial tests a combination of an oral targeted drug (DV) and an immunotherapy (Toripalimab) to preserve kidney function in people with high-risk upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) who cannot have their kidney and ureter removed. It is for patients with only one kidney, reduced kidney function, or cancer in both ureters.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06355050Recruiting
Short, intense radiation for prostate cancer
This trial tests a very short course of daily radiation that adapts to your body's changes. It aims to be just as effective as standard treatment but more convenient.
JenaAges 18–120 - NCT06355076Recruiting
New Urethral Reconstruction in Robotic Prostate Removal
This trial tests a new way to rebuild the urethra during robot-assisted prostate removal surgery for prostate cancer. It may help people whose cancer hasn't spread too far or has been reduced enough for surgery.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06355336Recruiting
Prostate cancer registry for men in the Ohio region
This trial is a registry that collects information from men with prostate cancer to help doctors learn more about the disease and improve care. It is open to people recently diagnosed (since 2023) who live in Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06357416Recruiting
Man Van project: mobile cancer screening for men
This study collects information from men who visit the Man Van, a mobile health clinic that screens for cancers like prostate, testicular, and penile cancers. It aims to learn how well the clinic works and how it can help men catch cancer early.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06360523Recruiting
AI-guided MRI for prostate cancer diagnosis
This trial tests if an artificial intelligence system can improve MRI scans used to detect prostate cancer. You may join if your doctor has recommended a prostate biopsy and you have an MRI scan that can be reviewed by both radiologists and AI.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06362083Recruiting
Urethral stricture surgery database study
This study collects information from patients who have had surgery for a urethral stricture, which is a narrowing in the tube that carries urine out of the body. Being part of this study helps doctors learn more about different surgical treatments and their outcomes.
