Radiation and Lutetium PSMA for locally advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a combination of focused radiation (SBRT) and a targeted radioactive drug (Lutetium PSMA) for men with prostate cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes or has high-risk features but has not yet reached distant organs. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective.

Best heart failure care for older patients with kidney disease
This study tests the best way to manage heart failure in older adults who also have kidney problems and high potassium levels. It compares different treatment strategies to see which one is safest and most effective.
Alcorcón, MadridAges 70 years+ - NCT06578533RecruitingPhase 3
Keeping heart and kidney medications while controlling potassium
This trial tests a medication (SZC) that helps lower high potassium levels, so you can keep taking important heart and kidney drugs (RAASi/MRA). It is for people with heart failure and chronic kidney disease who have high potassium.
AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT06579417Recruiting
Testing a faster MRI for prostate cancer detection
This trial is testing a new, faster type of MRI scan (called biparametric MRI) to see if it can detect prostate cancer as well as the standard scan. It may help you avoid a longer scan and possibly reduce the need for contrast dye.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06579911Recruiting
Micro-ultrasound vs. MRI for prostate biopsy
This trial compares two advanced imaging techniques—high-frequency micro-ultrasound and multiparametric MRI—to guide biopsies for men who may have aggressive prostate cancer. The goal is to see which method better detects cancer while reducing unnecessary biopsies.
Salzburg, State of SalzburgAges 18–99 - NCT06581601Recruiting
Physiotherapy for women with urinary incontinence
This trial tests whether physiotherapy can help women with urinary incontinence. It compares a treatment group to a group of healthy women.
PoznanAges 20–80 - NCT06582017RecruitingPhase 1
Study of QXL138AM for advanced solid tumors and multiple myeloma
This trial tests an investigational drug called QXL138AM for people with advanced solid tumors or multiple myeloma that has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06582446RecruitingPhase 2
AI-Personalized Radiation for High-Risk Prostate Cancer
This trial tests a new way to plan prostate cancer treatment using artificial intelligence and advanced imaging. It’s for people with high-risk prostate cancer that hasn’t spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body, and who have not had prior radiation to the prostate.
LimassolAges 18 years+ - NCT06582628RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib and enzalutamide after abiraterone in prostate cancer
This trial tests two drugs—talazoparib and enzalutamide—given together to men whose metastatic prostate cancer has worsened after treatment with abiraterone (Zytiga). The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06582875RecruitingPhase 2
GLP-1 drug for polycystic kidney disease and weight
This study tests a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a type of medicine that helps with weight and metabolism) in people with polycystic kidney disease who are overweight. It aims to see if this drug can help slow kidney disease progression.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–65 - NCT06583070Recruiting
SABR plus targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced kidney cancer
This trial tests combining a precise type of radiation (SABR) with standard targeted therapy and immunotherapy drugs for kidney cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to see if adding radiation improves outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06583733Recruiting
Keeping up bladder health with a self-management app
This study tests a self-management program for bladder health using a smartphone or tablet app. It is designed to help people aging well manage leaks and avoid complications, without needing to visit a doctor.
KaunasAges 50–100 - NCT06584279Recruiting
MRI-targeted biopsy for first-time prostate cancer screening
This trial is testing a new way to do prostate biopsies by combining MRI findings with a targeted biopsy on the same side as the suspicious area. It is for men who have not had a biopsy before and have a moderately high PSA level.
NanjingAges 60–80 - NCT06585514RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell therapy for hard-to-treat lupus
This trial tests a treatment where your own immune cells are modified to attack and destroy lupus-causing B cells. It's for people with lupus (SLE) that hasn't improved with standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 3–65 - NCT06586255RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy and radiation after bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to immunotherapy after bladder removal surgery can help prevent cancer from coming back. It's for people with advanced bladder cancer who have already started immunotherapy.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06587841Recruiting

Shorter pelvic radiation with HDR boost for prostate cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy (hypofractionated whole-pelvis radiation) combined with a high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy boost for men with high-risk or unfavorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this approach controls cancer while possibly reducing side effects.
