LimassolAges 18 years+ - NCT06781879RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing bladder medication vs surgery for returning low-grade bladder cancer
This trial tests whether a chemotherapy drug placed directly into the bladder (chemoablation) works as well as surgery followed by chemotherapy for people whose low-grade bladder tumors have come back. It aims to find a less invasive option that still controls the cancer.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT02543905Recruiting
Profile study for men at higher prostate cancer risk
This trial looks at how inherited risk (family history or gene findings) relates to screening and treatment for prostate cancer. If you qualify, you may be offered prostate screening tests and follow-up to see how well risk information predicts next steps.
Sutton, SurreyAges 40–69 - NCT06770582RecruitingPhase 2
Adding immunotherapy to radiation for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to radiation therapy works as well as or better than the usual chemotherapy given with radiation for a type of bladder cancer that has not invaded the muscle. It is for people whose cancer came back or has high-risk features and who would otherwise need to have their bladder removed.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06760546RecruitingPhase 3
Testing setmelanotide for weight gain after brain injury
This trial tests a daily injection called setmelanotide to see if it can help people who have gained weight due to a brain injury or condition affecting the hypothalamus. It may help reduce hunger and support weight loss.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 4 years+ - NCT06760819RecruitingPhase 2
Sevacertinib for solid tumors with HER2 mutations
This study tests an oral tablet called sevacertinib in people with solid tumors (not lung cancer) that have a HER2 mutation. It aims to see how well the drug works and how safe it is for people who have tried other treatments or have no good options left.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06764771RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new investigational drug, BMS-986488, alone or with another drug (adagrasib), for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works against certain cancers.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06770855Recruiting
Focused treatment for kidney cancer that has responded to immunotherapy
This trial tests whether giving focused treatment (surgery or radiation) to all remaining cancer spots after immunotherapy can improve outcomes in kidney cancer. It's for people whose cancer has responded well to at least 6 months of immunotherapy and has only a few remaining spots.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06770530RecruitingPhase 4
Fungal infection prevention after bladder removal surgery
This trial tests if giving a medicine called Fluconazole can prevent fungal infections after bladder removal surgery (cystectomy) where a piece of the small intestine is used to create a new way for urine to leave the body (ileal conduit).
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06768177Enrolling by invitation
Platelet-Rich Plasma for Erectile Dysfunction
This trial tests if injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the penis can improve erectile function in men who haven't had success with other treatments. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe ED, have tried other therapies, or have had pelvic surgery.
BariAges 30 years+ - NCT06762379Recruiting
New blood test for genetic changes in advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new way to find genetic changes in metastatic prostate cancer using a blood test (liquid biopsy) when tumor tissue is not available. It may help doctors choose better treatments for you.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06764095RecruitingPhase 4
Drug combo before bladder or ureter surgery for advanced cancer
This trial tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, given before surgery to remove the bladder or ureter in people with advanced bladder or upper urinary tract cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the cancer and improves outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06765629Enrolling by invitation
Nerve stimulation therapy for overactive bladder in children
This study tests a non-invasive treatment called transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) for children with overactive bladder (OAB). The goal is to see if it can help reduce frequent, urgent urination by using mild electrical pulses near the ankle.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 6–18 - NCT06725810RecruitingPhase 4
Enarodustat for anemia in chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis)
