Light-based muscle oxygen measurements in COPD with kidney disease
This study uses a special light-based device (near-infrared spectroscopy) to measure muscle oxygen levels in people who have both COPD and chronic kidney disease. Researchers want to see if these measurements can help predict how the disease progresses, which could lead to better monitoring and treatment.

HIMARS: Stereotactic radiation for prostate cancer spread
This trial tests adding targeted radiation (SRT) to bone or lymph node metastases in men with prostate cancer that has continued to grow despite hormone therapy, chemo, or other treatments. The goal is to see if radiation can help control the disease and improve outcomes.
Saint-HerblainAges 18 years+ - NCT06982469Recruiting
High-dose radiation for prostate cancer return after surgery
This trial tests a high-dose radiation treatment (brachytherapy) that places tiny radioactive seeds directly into the area where your prostate was. It is for men whose prostate cancer has returned only in that area after having their prostate removed.
Pamplona, Foral Community of NavarreAges 18–80 - NCT06978127Recruiting
