- NCT06479811RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced neuroendocrine and other cancers
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, [212Pb]VMT-Alpha-NET, that targets a protein on certain cancer cells. It is for people with specific types of advanced cancers that have gotten worse and are not responding to standard treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06479720RecruitingPhase 4
Combination medications plus estrogen for overactive bladder
This trial tests whether adding estrogen therapy to a combination of two bladder medications works better than the medications alone for women with overactive bladder that hasn't improved with standard treatment.
TaipeiAges 40–90 - NCT06480227Recruiting
Bulking injection vs sling for stress incontinence
This study compares two procedures for stress urinary incontinence: a bulking agent injection and a single-incision sling. If you're a woman who leaks urine with activity, you may be randomly assigned to get one of these treatments to see which works better over time.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06482489Recruiting
Low-field MRI for better prostate imaging
This study tests a new, lower-strength MRI to see if it can give clearer images of the prostate, especially for men who have metal implants or who need a biopsy. It may help doctors monitor prostate health more safely and effectively.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT06482645Recruiting
Testing a new biopsy method for prostate cancer diagnosis
This study is testing a new approach to prostate biopsy that takes samples from around a suspicious area seen on MRI. It aims to see if this method can better detect prostate cancer compared to standard biopsy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 45–85 - NCT06484361RecruitingPhase 2
PET/MRI scan for prostate cancer staging before surgery
This trial tests whether a special PET/MRI scan can better see the extent of prostate cancer before surgery. It aims to help doctors plan more precise treatment.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06532149Recruiting
Sexual health and erectile function in men with lung cancer
This study looks at how lung cancer and its treatments affect men's sexual health, including erectile function and hormone levels. If you are a man with advanced lung cancer and are sexually active, researchers want to learn about your experiences and test results.
RomeAges 18–75 - NCT05370651Recruiting
Emsella chair versus sham treatment for male ejaculation problems
This trial compares an Emsella chair treatment to a sham (fake) treatment to help men with ejaculation difficulties. It wants to see whether the chair improves symptoms when other options have not helped enough.
Royal Oak, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07691827Recruiting
Study of sperm problems linked to inherited genetic mutation
This study is investigating a specific genetic mutation in the MT-ND1 gene that can be passed from mother to son and may cause sperm production problems. It compares men with severe sperm issues to those with normal sperm production to understand the genetic cause.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06051058Recruiting
App for managing health after hospital discharge
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people with multiple health conditions manage their care after leaving the hospital. It may help you feel more supported and avoid confusion during the transition from hospital to home.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 55 years+ - NCT04945642Recruiting
Radiation combination therapy for intermediate to high-risk prostate cancer
This trial studies a combination of two radiation types—high-dose-rate brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy—to treat certain intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancers. It may help by aiming radiation closely at the prostate while also targeting the cancer from outside the body.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03972657RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new prostate and kidney cancer drug with immunotherapy
This early trial tests whether REGN5678 (nezastomig) is safe and how well it works, either by itself or with an immunotherapy drug (cemiplimab). It targets adults with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and certain metastatic kidney cancers that have already been treated.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07691697Recruiting
PSMA PET-guided radiation for slowing prostate cancer growth
This trial uses a special scan called PSMA PET to find and treat a small number of cancer spots that are growing while you are on standard treatment. The goal is to give precise radiation to those spots to help keep the rest of the cancer under control.
Zamość, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT05873686RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NXP900 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called NXP900 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The study has two parts: one for any advanced solid tumor and another for tumors with specific genetic changes.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06446739Recruiting
Low-dose vs standard-dose kidney therapy for ICU patients
This study compares two different doses of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT, a type of dialysis) for patients in the intensive care unit with acute kidney injury. It aims to find out if a lower dose is as safe and effective as the standard dose.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03446456RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Vasopressin and pain perception study
This trial tests whether vasopressin, a nasal spray, changes how your brain processes pain. You will receive either the spray or a placebo and have an MRI scan to see brain activity.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT05413421RecruitingPhase 1
ORIC-944 for metastatic prostate cancer after hormone therapy
This early-phase trial tests ORIC-944 to see how well it works and what dose is safest for metastatic prostate cancer that has progressed after hormone-targeted pills. It may help people whose cancer has stopped responding to prior prostate cancer hormone treatments.
Colorado Springs, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT04133675Recruiting
Emsella chair test for stress urine leakage
This study compares the Emsella chair treatment to a fake (sham) treatment to see which works better for stress urinary incontinence—leaking urine with coughing, laughing, or exertion. If you qualify, you may get the real chair, and you will complete questionnaires and follow specific rules about other treatments.
Royal Oak, MichiganAges 18–80 - NCT07693647Enrolling by invitation
Pelvic floor recovery after prostate cancer surgery
This study looks at how pelvic floor function and emotional well-being are affected at least one year after prostate removal surgery for prostate cancer. It aims to understand long-term outcomes to help improve care.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT07567027Recruiting
Testing a spacing gel to improve prostate cancer freezing treatment
This trial tests whether a special gel placed between the prostate and rectum improves the safety and effectiveness of cryoablation—a freezing treatment for prostate cancer. The gel aims to protect the rectum from cold damage during the procedure.
New York, New YorkAges 40–95 - NCT06906471RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a PSMA dye to improve prostate biopsy
This trial tests a new dye (AS1986NS) that sticks to prostate cancer cells during a biopsy. It aims to help doctors see cancer more clearly. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for a standard prostate biopsy and have no major health issues.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT06487507Recruiting
Mediterranean diets for men before prostate surgery
This study tests whether a medically designed Mediterranean diet can help men before prostate cancer surgery. You would eat special foods and be monitored closely to see how the diet affects your health and recovery.

Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06488222RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy for low-grade bladder cancer that comes back
This trial tests whether putting two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and docetaxel) directly into the bladder can treat low-grade bladder cancer that is at intermediate risk. The goal is to see if this approach can help people avoid more invasive treatments.
