Brodalumab for immune-related side effects from cancer treatment
This trial tests if brodalumab, an antibody that blocks a specific immune pathway (IL-17), can help control side effects caused by immunotherapy cancer treatment. It is for people with advanced solid organ cancers who have immune-related side effects that are suspected to involve IL-17.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06679621Recruiting
Telehealth to prepare Latinas for pelvic surgery
This study tests a telehealth program to help Hispanic women feel more prepared before surgery for a pelvic floor condition like prolapse or incontinence. The program is done over video or phone, so you don't have to travel to a clinic.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06669949Recruiting
Studying the natural history of SPLIS disease
This study collects health information from people with SPLIS to better understand the condition over time. It may include your siblings if they also have SPLIS, and data from patients who have passed away.

Childhood cancer surgery recovery study
This study looks at how children and young adults recover after surgery for solid tumors. It also includes their caregivers to understand how resilience affects recovery.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 3–25 - NCT06675357RecruitingPhase 2
FAPI PET/MRI scan for prostate cancer
This trial uses a new type of PET/MRI scan (called FAPI) to see how well it can find prostate cancer. It may help doctors learn about a different way to image the cancer. You can join if you already have a scheduled or recent PSMA PET scan.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06676527Recruiting
Vorolanib for advanced kidney cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a targeted therapy pill, vorolanib, for people with advanced kidney cancer that has clear cell features and has gotten worse after initial treatment. It may offer a new option when standard second-line treatments are not working.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06678126RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive vs standard radiation for prostate cancer
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes. It also tests two different instructions for how full your bladder should be during treatment. The goal is to see which approach works better and is easier for patients.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06676007Recruiting
Early use of a targeted budesonide for IgA nephropathy
This trial tests starting a special form of budesonide (Nefecon) early in people with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease. The goal is to see if it can reduce protein in the urine and protect kidney function.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06680089RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging test for kidney cancer using CD70-targeted drug
This trial uses a special imaging drug that targets CD70 (a protein on some kidney cancer cells) to see if it can better detect and track kidney tumors. It may help doctors understand how much cancer is present and guide treatment decisions.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05406167Recruiting
Tracking quality of life during radiotherapy with a new system
This study collects information about how you feel and how treatment is delivered while you receive radiotherapy using the RefleXion Medical radiotherapy system. It may help doctors improve care and better understand what affects quality of life during treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06663137RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new treatment for high-grade bladder cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called NDV01 KIT for people with high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that hasn't gotten better after BCG therapy. It's for those who cannot or choose not to have their bladder removed.
RaananaAges 18–80 - NCT06668142Recruiting
Beacon platform study for prostate surgery
This trial tests a new surgical platform called Beacon during HoLEP, a common procedure to treat enlarged prostate symptoms. It may help men with difficulty urinating due to an enlarged prostate.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 45 years+ - NCT06668493RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A virus-based treatment for low-grade upper tract bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, nadofaragene firadenovec, which uses a harmless virus to deliver a signal that helps your immune system fight low-grade cancer in the upper part of the urinary tract (the kidney area). It's given directly into the kidney through a small tube, and may avoid more invasive surgery.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06659536Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for overactive bladder
This trial tests a small, at-home device that sends mild pulses to a nerve in your ankle to calm an overactive bladder. It may help reduce sudden urges and leakage.
