Aurora, ColoradoAges 1.5 years–25 years - NCT06866262RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Inulin gel with immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests whether adding an inulin gel to standard immunotherapy (ipilimumab and nivolumab) can help treat kidney cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. It is for people who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06864533Recruiting
Chemotherapy after surgery for aggressive prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding chemotherapy after standard treatment helps people with a very aggressive type of prostate cancer (Gleason score 9-10). It is designed for those who have not had their cancer spread to distant parts of the body and are healthy enough to handle chemotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06866964RecruitingPhase 2
Aspirin to prevent blood clots in advanced germ cell cancer chemotherapy
This trial tests if daily aspirin can prevent dangerous blood clots in people receiving chemotherapy for advanced testicular or germ cell cancer. It is for those at high risk of clots and aims to improve safety during treatment.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–70 - NCT06858280RecruitingPhase 3
Patiromer and diet for potassium in dialysis patients
This trial tests if a medication called patiromer, combined with a low-potassium diet, can help manage potassium levels in people on chronic dialysis. The goal is to improve quality of life by allowing a more flexible diet.
Bergamo, BGAges 18 years+ - NCT06867315Recruiting
Treating enlarged prostate with a new electrical pulse device
This study tests a new device called the Steep Pulse Therapy System that uses short electrical pulses to destroy extra prostate tissue without cutting. It is for men with moderate to severe BPH symptoms who have not had prior prostate surgery.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 50 years+ - NCT05582772Recruiting
Supportive care for older men with metastatic prostate cancer
This study tests a phone-based supportive care program for older men with prostate cancer. It aims to help with day-to-day management while you’re receiving hormone-related cancer treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT06776172Recruiting
Lymph node removal during prostate surgery: a comparison study
This trial tests whether removing pelvic lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery improves outcomes for men with high-risk prostate cancer. If you have high-risk prostate cancer and no signs of spread, you may be able to join.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT06800651RecruitingPhase 2
A new drug for fast-growing polycystic kidney disease
This trial tests a drug (JMKX003142) for people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease that is getting worse quickly. It may help slow down kidney damage.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–55 - NCT06755372Recruiting
TLR-4 in gum disease patients with kidney failure
This study looks at a specific immune marker (TLR-4) in people with gum disease, comparing those who also have end-stage kidney disease (on dialysis) to those who are otherwise healthy. The goal is to understand how gum disease might be different when kidney failure is also present.
Al Fayyum, Faiyum GovernorateAges 30–60 - NCT06849258Recruiting
FloStent for enlarged prostate symptoms trial
This trial tests a new device called the FloStent, a small tube placed in the urine channel to help men with an enlarged prostate pee more easily. It's for men who have moderate to severe symptoms and haven't had prostate surgery before.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 45 years+ - NCT06857630Recruiting
Hemoglobin levels and kidney injury in emergency surgery
This trial looks at whether a patient's hemoglobin level (a measure of red blood cells) before emergency surgery can help predict the risk of acute kidney injury afterward. It aims to find if early detection can prevent kidney damage.
SamsunAges 18–80 - NCT06851663RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New PET scan for many solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special antibody to find a marker called Trop2 on many common solid tumors. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly without needing a biopsy.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06852638RecruitingPhase 2
PET imaging for kidney cancer, lymphoma, and NPC
This study tests a new way to detect tumors by using a special injection that makes cancer cells visible on a PET scan. It may help people with renal cancer (especially clear cell type), lymphoma, or nasopharyngeal cancer.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06856694Recruiting
Feedback tool to help men with prostate cancer decide on treatment
This trial tests a computer tool that analyzes your conversations with doctors. It aims to help you make a more informed choice about prostate cancer treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06854250RecruitingPhase 2
Cryoablation and low-dose chemo for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests freezing prostate tumors (cryoablation) combined with a low-dose chemotherapy pill (metronomic cyclophosphamide) for men with metastatic prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can slow the cancer's growth and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06848868RecruitingPhase 1
Clinic-based scope for bladder cancer follow-up
This trial tests if a procedure done in the clinic, without general anesthesia, can safely check the upper urinary tract after kidney-sparing surgery for urothelial cancer. It may reduce the need for hospital visits.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06855602Recruiting
Chinese herbs for stress urinary incontinence in women
