IV vitamin C plus chemo for bladder cancer
This trial tests adding high-dose vitamin C (ascorbate) to a standard chemotherapy combination for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who cannot take or choose not to take cisplatin. The goal is to find a more affordable and effective treatment option.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06494696Recruiting
PSMA PET/MRI with MRI for prostate cancer risk
This study tests whether a special scan (PSMA PET/MRI) combined with a standard MRI can better detect prostate cancer. It is for men who have not had a biopsy yet and are suspected of having prostate cancer.
Taoyuan CityAges 40–85 - NCT06496256Recruiting
Barrigel gel for radiation after prostate removal
This trial tests a gel placed in the rectum during radiation therapy to protect healthy tissue after prostate removal. It is for men whose prostate cancer has come back (PSA rise) and who need radiation to the prostate bed.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06496581RecruitingPhase 3
Adding a targeted radiation drug for prostate cancer that hasn't responded well to initial treatment
This trial tests if adding a radioactive drug called 177Lu-PSMA-617 to standard therapy helps men whose prostate cancer has spread and hasn't responded well to initial hormone therapy. It's for men whose PSA level is still detectable after 6-8 months of treatment.
AngersAges 18–80 - NCT06497361RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PRG-2311 for hard-to-treat lupus nephritis and IgG4 disease
This trial tests a new treatment called PRG-2311 for people with lupus nephritis or IgG4-related disease that has not responded to standard therapies. The treatment uses a type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T) to try to control the disease.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06497387RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PRG-1801 for stubborn lupus kidney and IgG4 disease
This trial tests a new treatment called PRG-1801 for people with lupus nephritis (kidney inflammation from lupus) or IgG4-related disease that has not improved with standard treatments. The treatment uses your own immune cells to target and calm the disease.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06498063Recruiting
Glucagon and kidney effects in healthy males
This trial tests how the hormone glucagon affects kidney function in healthy men. It may help researchers understand how glucagon works in the body.
CopenhagenAges 20–60 - NCT06500169Recruiting
Golf exercise study for prostate cancer survivors
This study tests if golf can help men with prostate cancer feel better and stay healthy. It's for men who are on hormone therapy and want to try a gentle, fun exercise.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 55–85 - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06501079Recruiting
Pain relief study: adding dexamethasone or magnesium to a nerve block for kidney removal
This study compares two different medications (dexamethasone and magnesium) added to a standard painkiller used in a nerve block for patients having one kidney removed. The goal is to find out which combination provides better pain relief after surgery.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06501222Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for kidney protection in CKD
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06503146RecruitingPhase 2
New imaging tracer for detecting various cancers
This trial tests a new imaging agent, [18F]FAPI-74, which might help detect certain cancers more clearly. The scan looks for a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP) that is often found in tumors. If you have one of the listed cancers and are about to start treatment, this study could help doctors see where the cancer is and how it responds to therapy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06503588Recruiting
No ureteral stent change for urinary infections
This trial tests whether leaving a ureteral stent in place during a urinary tract infection is safe. It may help avoid unnecessary procedures for patients with an indwelling ureteral catheter who develop a urinary infection.
Nancy, LorraineAges Any age - NCT06503614RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab and monalizumab for early bladder cancer
This trial tests two drugs—durvalumab and monalizumab—for people with early-stage bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle and has persisted or returned after BCG treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer and delay or avoid the need for bladder removal surgery.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06505512Recruiting
Belly infection and kidney health ultrasound study
This study uses ultrasound to look at your belly organs and kidney blood flow in people with serious belly infections and sepsis. It may help doctors understand how infection affects the kidneys.
Zhangzhou, FujianAges 14–85 - NCT06507007Recruiting
Inner ear function in Turner syndrome
This study looks at why some people with Turner syndrome have inner ear problems. It uses MRI and CBCT scans to understand the genetic and epigenetic causes.
HerningAges 18–60 - NCT06508567Recruiting
MRI-Guided Internal Radiation for Returning Prostate Cancer
This trial tests a new way to use a type of internal radiation (high-dose-rate brachytherapy) guided by MRI to treat prostate cancer that has come back in the same area after previous radiation therapy. It is designed to be more precise and hopefully safer while using the latest PSMA PET scans to make sure the cancer hasn't spread.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06515223Recruiting
Pelvic rehab with spinal cord stimulation after injury
This study tests a spinal cord stimulator to help improve bladder and pelvic function in people with a spinal cord injury. You would use a small device placed near the spine that sends electrical pulses to help control your bladder better.
StanmoreAges 18 years+ - NCT06517810Recruiting
QUELIMMUNE pediatric surveillance registry
This registry tracks children treated with QUELIMMUNE therapy to see how well it works over time. It helps doctors learn more about the treatment's safety and effects in kids.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 22 years - NCT06517901Recruiting
Comparing two MRI-guided biopsy methods for prostate cancer
This trial compares two ways to use MRI images during a prostate biopsy to see which finds cancer better. It looks at 'fusion' biopsy (where a computer combines MRI with live ultrasound) versus 'cognitive' biopsy (where the doctor mentally matches the MRI to the ultrasound).
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06518226Recruiting
Ultra-short radiation with focal boost for prostate cancer
This trial tests a new, shorter course of radiation for intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It aims to give a higher dose to the main tumor while keeping side effects low.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06519006Recruiting
Pelvic floor exercises after rectal surgery
This trial tests whether doing pelvic floor exercises after a type of rectal surgery called 'low anterior resection' can help prevent bowel problems known as Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS). It may help you maintain better bowel control after surgery.
