This study looks at why some people with Turner syndrome have inner ear problems. It uses MRI and CBCT scans to understand the genetic and epigenetic causes.
HerningAges 18–60 - NCT06499870RecruitingPhase 2
Study of two drugs with radiation for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether combining two hormone therapy drugs, relugolix and enzalutamide, with radiation therapy can help treat very high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective for men whose cancer has a high chance of coming back.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06500169Recruiting
Golf exercise study for prostate cancer survivors

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 55–85 - NCT06505356Enrolling by invitation
Genetics and inflammation in prostate cancer stage
This study looks at the connection between genetics, inflammation, and prostate cancer stage. It aims to find markers that may help predict how aggressive the cancer is. You may be eligible if you are newly suspected of having prostate cancer and have not yet started treatment.
KaunasAges 18–100 - NCT06480227Recruiting
Bulking injection vs sling for stress incontinence
This study compares two procedures for stress urinary incontinence: a bulking agent injection and a single-incision sling. If you're a woman who leaks urine with activity, you may be randomly assigned to get one of these treatments to see which works better over time.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT05786742Recruiting
Radiation plan test for early prostate cancer with a boost
This trial tests a more concentrated radiation schedule for early-stage prostate cancer, using an extra high-dose “boost” delivered from inside the body. It may help by treating the prostate more precisely while aiming to keep side effects manageable.
QuébecAges 18–95 - NCT06494631Enrolling by invitation
New Graft for Dialysis Access in Kidney Failure
This study tests a new type of graft (aXess) for dialysis access in people with kidney failure who cannot get a fistula. The graft is placed in the arm to help with blood flow during dialysis.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06479811RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced neuroendocrine and other cancers
This early-stage trial tests a new radioactive drug (called [212Pb]VMT-Alpha-NET) that targets a marker on certain cancer cells. It may help shrink or slow the growth of tumors that have spread or can't be removed, and it's being studied for several cancer types, including neuroendocrine tumors, small cell lung cancer, kidney cancer, and some head and neck cancers.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05600400Recruiting
Test two vs five MRI-guided treatments for prostate cancer
This trial is comparing two different MRI-guided radiation treatment plans to see which one better improves sexual quality of life in prostate cancer. It may help people decide between shorter or more treatment-session radiation approaches.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06302569RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus enfortumab vedotin for rare kidney cancers
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) and enfortumab vedotin (a targeted therapy)—for people with collecting duct carcinoma or renal medullary carcinoma, two rare types of kidney cancer that have spread. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06373913Recruiting
PCSK9's role in kidney damage in nephrotic syndrome
This study looks at how a protein called PCSK9 might affect kidney damage in people with nephrotic syndrome. It is for adults admitted to Kolding Hospital and aims to better understand the link between this protein and kidney problems.
KoldingAges 18 years+ - NCT06469736Recruiting
Comparing two methods for removing kidney stones
This study compares two ways to remove kidney stones: using a scope with a laser to break up stones, versus using the same scope plus a special gel to help remove the pieces. It aims to see if adding the gel makes the procedure more effective and safer.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06488222RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy for low-grade bladder cancer that comes back
This trial tests whether putting two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and docetaxel) directly into the bladder can treat low-grade bladder cancer that is at intermediate risk. The goal is to see if this approach can help people avoid more invasive treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06487546Recruiting
Ergothioneine supplement study for dialysis patients
This study tests whether giving a natural antioxidant called ergothioneine can help people with kidney failure who are on dialysis. It aims to see if it improves their health or well-being.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06487507Recruiting
Mediterranean diets for men before prostate surgery
This study tests whether a medically designed Mediterranean diet can help men before prostate cancer surgery. You would eat special foods and be monitored closely to see how the diet affects your health and recovery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06482645Recruiting
Testing a new biopsy method for prostate cancer diagnosis
This study is testing a new approach to prostate biopsy that takes samples from around a suspicious area seen on MRI. It aims to see if this method can better detect prostate cancer compared to standard biopsy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 45–85 - NCT03627013RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two transplant fluid solutions for kidney, liver, pancreas
This Phase 3 study compares two types of transplant fluid (Custodiol-N vs Custodiol) to protect organs while they are stored before surgery. It may help by reducing damage to the kidney, liver, or pancreas during transplant preparation.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06470243RecruitingPhase 3
Adding carboplatin to cabazitaxel for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug called carboplatin to another chemotherapy called cabazitaxel works better than cabazitaxel alone for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. All participants must have already had docetaxel chemotherapy.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06470191RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
B007 for primary membranous nephropathy
This trial tests a new drug called B007 for people with primary membranous nephropathy, a kidney condition. It aims to see if B007 can help reduce protein in the urine and protect kidney function.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06466135RecruitingPhase 2
Study of WAL0921 for glomerular kidney diseases

YerevanAges 18 years+ - NCT06474806RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan for untreated prostate cancer
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that looks for a protein called uPAR on prostate cancer cells. It might help doctors see your cancer more clearly without needing surgery or treatment first.

Pelvic floor rehab for women with pelvic floor issues
This trial tests a pelvic floor rehabilitation program (using exercises and possibly electrical or magnetic stimulation) for women with weak pelvic muscles after childbirth or mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse. It aims to improve muscle strength and reduce prolapse symptoms.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06464510RecruitingPhase 3
Treating sepsis with norepinephrine plus early vasopressin
This trial tests whether giving a second medicine called vasopressin early (along with norepinephrine) helps people with sepsis and low blood pressure better than waiting to use vasopressin only if norepinephrine doesn't work. It may improve blood pressure control and reduce the need for strong medicines.
