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+ - NCT06764602Recruiting

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+ - NCT06766526Recruiting
Online support for emotional adjustment after prostate cancer
This trial tests an online support program to help men cope with emotional distress after prostate cancer. You participate from home using a computer or smartphone.
LinköpingAges 18 years+ - NCT06769425RecruitingPhase 1
Combination treatment for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new combination treatment for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapy. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06769893Recruiting
New PET scan for kidney cancer staging and monitoring
This study tests a new type of PET scan that uses a tracer called 68Ga-RCCB6 to see kidney cancer more clearly. It compares this scan to another PET scan (68Ga-PSMA) to help doctors stage the cancer, check treatment response, and detect any return of the disease.
Xi'an, China, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06769997Recruiting
Comparing Optilume and Rezum for enlarged prostate
This study compares two treatments for an enlarged prostate: Optilume (a catheter-based system) and Rezum (water vapor therapy). It's for men with moderate symptoms who haven't tried other treatments before.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06772441RecruitingPhase 2
AI-guided radiation and hormone therapy for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial uses artificial intelligence to customize your radiation therapy and hormone treatment for high-risk prostate cancer. It aims to improve treatment precision and reduce side effects.
LimassolAges 18 years+ - NCT06773598Recruiting
MRI-based machine learning tool for prostate cancer
This trial tests a computer model that learns from MRI scans to predict prostate cancer. If you have had a prostate MRI showing suspicious areas and are scheduled for a biopsy, joining may help improve how cancer is detected.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06773806Recruiting
Chlordecone exposure and prostate cancer in Martinique
This trial studies whether exposure to the pesticide chlordecone affects prostate cancer risk in men living in Martinique. It compares men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer to those without cancer.
Fort-de-FranceAges 18–75 - NCT06774781Recruiting
Using MRI to find prostate tumors
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better identify prostate cancer lesions before biopsy or surgery. It may help men who already have suspicious MRI findings and are scheduled for a prostate biopsy or removal.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06775977Recruiting
Ultrasound contrast for bladder cancer staging
This trial uses a special ultrasound with contrast dye to get a clearer picture of bladder cancer before any treatment. It aims to improve how doctors determine the stage of the cancer, which helps guide the best treatment plan.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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.
