Gene therapy vs standard care for bladder cancer after BCG fails
This trial compares a gene therapy (nadofaragene firadenovec) against standard care for people with an early-stage bladder cancer that has not responded to BCG. The goal is to see if this treatment is more effective and possibly helps avoid bladder removal.

Studying resistance to IgA nephropathy treatments in real life
This study observes how people with IgA nephropathy respond to standard and newer treatments in everyday medical practice, to understand why some cases are resistant to therapy.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06925776Recruiting
Community health workers for kidney disease patients
This trial tests whether a community health worker can help patients with advanced kidney disease get better care and education about home dialysis. The goal is to improve patient involvement and make it easier to navigate social needs.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06931340RecruitingPhase 3
Adding chemo to hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial is for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has already spread beyond the pelvis. It tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug (docetaxel) to the usual hormone therapy plus apalutamide can help control the cancer better than hormone therapy alone.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06923657Recruiting
PSMA PET/MRI for guiding biopsy after negative MRI
This study tests whether a special type of PET/MRI scan (PSMA PET/MRI) can help doctors find hidden prostate cancer in men who have a rising PSA but previous negative biopsies and a non-suspicious MRI. It aims to improve detection without skipping needed treatment.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 30–85 - NCT06926075RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early trial of KESONOTIDE™ for solid tumors
This trial tests a new tablet called KESONOTIDE™ for people with solid tumors that have spread. The goal is to see if it can help when other treatments have stopped working or are not an option.
Kogarah, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06926283RecruitingPhase 1
Study of DXC008 for advanced prostate and other solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called DXC008 for people with advanced solid tumors, including prostate cancer, that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT06925542RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CTX112 for adults with autoimmune disease
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called CTX112 for people with lupus, scleroderma, or inflammatory myositis that hasn't responded well to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it's safe and if it can help control the disease.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06047600Recruiting
Digital nursing support for kidney tumor surgery
This trial tests if a digital tool can improve care coordination before and after surgery for kidney tumors. It may help patients feel more supported during their treatment journey.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05942027RecruitingPhase 4
CoQ10 in early-to-moderate kidney disease with high urine protein
This study tests whether taking coenzyme Q10 can improve chronic kidney disease in adults with moderate kidney function and higher urine protein. It also looks at safety, especially for blood pressure and potassium levels.
Tanta, Capital of Gharbia Governorate.Ages 18 years+ - NCT05191680RecruitingPhase 2
Testing apalutamide in early prostate cancer active surveillance
This Phase 2 trial tests whether apalutamide can help people with early prostate cancer who choose active surveillance. It uses MRI and biopsy results to confirm the cancer type and location, then checks if treatment is safe and potentially helpful.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18 years+ - NCT04183101RecruitingPhase 2
Aliskiren vs enalapril for C3 kidney inflammation
This trial tests whether aliskiren works better or as well as enalapril to treat C3 glomerulopathy/dense deposit disease confirmed by a kidney biopsy. It may help by improving kidney outcomes in people with this specific kidney condition.
GothenburgAges 6 years+ - NCT06379698Recruiting
