This trial tests radiation therapy for men with very high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to see if targeting the tumor with radiation can help control the cancer in this highest risk group.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT06059859Recruiting
Augmented reality during robot-assisted prostate removal
This study tests whether using augmented reality (a computer overlay) during robot-assisted surgery for prostate cancer can help the surgeon remove the cancer more precisely. It may be an option for people with low or intermediate risk prostate cancer who have good erectile function.
MilanAges 18–70 - NCT06683846RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab for advanced rare tumors: a safety & early-efficacy study
This trial tests a drug called ivonescimab in people with advanced, rare tumor types that have spread (stage IV). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and whether it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06684756Recruiting
Comparing two types of ureteral access sheaths for kidney stone surgery
This trial compares a vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath to a standard one during kidney stone surgery (retrograde intrarenal surgery). The goal is to see which might work better and be safer for patients.
Tekirdağ, TurkeyAges 18–85 - NCT06690970Recruiting
PSMA PET/CT scan for people with or suspected to have cancer
This study is looking at how well a special type of PET/CT scan (called PSMA PET/CT) can see cancer in people who have or may have certain tumors. It may help doctors better understand and track the disease.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT06689514RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Tranilast for enlarged prostate (medium to large volume)
This trial tests a drug called Tranilast to see if it can improve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It focuses on men with moderate to severe symptoms and a prostate size greater than 40 mL.
Shanghai, Outside U.S./CanadaAges 55–75 - NCT06689176Recruiting
Chlorhexidine wash during bladder removal surgery
This trial tests a special antibacterial wash (chlorhexidine) applied to a piece of intestine used to create a new way for urine to leave the body after bladder removal. It aims to reduce infections and improve recovery.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06692049Recruiting
Freezing gonadal tissue to preserve fertility in children with a disorder of sex development
This study tests a procedure that freezes and stores gonadal tissue (tissue that makes eggs or sperm) to help preserve the chance of having biological children in the future. It is for children and young adults under 30 who have a disorder of sex development and either have a risk of cancer in that tissue or will have it removed for another medical reason.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 30 years - NCT06689891Recruiting
Pelvic floor therapy with videos
This study tests whether watching videos about pelvic floor exercises at home works as well as in-person therapy. You would follow a video program from your home.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06689228Enrolling by invitation
Education and monitoring to improve drug use in dialysis patients
This study tests whether a special education program and remote monitoring can help hemodialysis patients use their medications more safely. It is designed for people who have been on dialysis for at least six months.
Burdur, BucakAges 18 years+ - NCT06682793RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of A2B395 therapy for solid tumors with EGFR and HLA loss
This trial tests a new cell therapy called A2B395 for cancers that have EGFR, a protein on the cell surface, and have lost a specific marker called HLA-A*02. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and kill these cancer cells. This may help patients with colorectal, lung, head and neck, breast, kidney, or other solid tumors that are no longer responding to standard treatments.
