Bladder cancer and urine bacteria study
This study looks at bacteria in urine and the bladder to understand if they play a role in causing bladder cancer. Researchers will compare samples from men with bladder cancer and healthy controls.
Cairo, Giza GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06287541Recruiting
Do you need a second bladder surgery after a negative urine test?
This study looks at whether a second bladder surgery is still needed for people with high-risk bladder cancer who had a negative urine test after their first surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06292897Recruiting
Obesity and prostate cancer tissue study
This study looks at how obesity might affect prostate cancer growth. It uses tissue samples to understand the role of certain metabolites in the tumor, which could lead to better treatments.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06202846Recruiting
Looking for Y chromosome in Turner syndrome blood
This study looks for a tiny piece of the Y chromosome (a sex chromosome normally found in males) in a blood sample. It may help doctors better understand Turner syndrome and find hidden Y chromosome material that could affect health.
LyonAges 2–74 - NCT06294951Recruiting
Brain Scans for Bladder Pain Syndrome
This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to learn how bladder pain syndrome affects the brain. It compares women with bladder pain to those without, to better understand symptoms and improve future treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05116475RecruitingPhase 3
New prostate cancer trial adding darolutamide to standard treatment
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding darolutamide to standard hormone therapy and radiation works better than standard treatment alone for newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has spread to pelvic lymph nodes. If you qualify, you may receive darolutamide or a placebo alongside long-term hormone therapy and radiation.
Chambray-lès-ToursAges 18–120 - NCT06200987Recruiting
Penile vibrator to prevent sexual and bladder problems after prostate surgery
This trial tests whether using a penile vibrator before and after prostate cancer surgery can help preserve sexual function and bladder control. It is for men who are having nerve-sparing prostatectomy and have good erections and bladder control before surgery.
HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT06305832RecruitingPhase 2
Salvage radiation plus hormone therapy with or without rezvilutamide for rising PSA
This trial tests whether adding a new oral hormone blocker (rezvilutamide) to standard salvage radiation and hormone therapy can better control prostate cancer that has come back (rising PSA) after surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 40 years+ - NCT06318559Recruiting
3D augmented reality vs. standard robot prostate surgery
This trial tests whether adding a 3D augmented-reality model to standard robot-assisted prostate surgery can help doctors remove the cancer while better preserving sexual function. It is for men whose MRI shows the cancer may have slightly spread outside the prostate.
Candiolo, TurinAges 40–99 - NCT06320223Recruiting
PSMA PET scan registry for prostate cancer outcomes
This registry collects information from people with prostate cancer who have had a PSMA PET scan. Researchers want to learn how well this scan predicts outcomes over at least 3 years, which may help improve future care.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT06265025RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
GM103 injection for advanced solid tumors that can't be removed
This trial tests an experimental drug called GM103 that is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments and cannot be surgically removed.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18 years+ - NCT06324136Recruiting
Personalized diagnosis for rare kidney diseases
This trial uses genetic testing to find the cause of rare kidney diseases. It is for people with unexplained kidney problems, a family history of kidney disease, or certain findings on ultrasound. The goal is to provide a more personalized diagnosis and see if this approach is cost-effective.
FlorenceAges birth–70 years - NCT06325059Recruiting
Kidney cell study for glomerular and tubular diseases
This trial studies kidney biopsy samples to learn how certain kidney cells repair damage. It may help find new treatments for kidney diseases.
FlorenceAges 1 month–17 years - NCT06325618Recruiting
Studying lymphedema and blood vessels in Turner syndrome
This study looks at swelling (lymphedema), inflammation, and blood vessels in women with Turner syndrome. It uses MRI scans to understand these issues better.
Aarhus NAges 18–100 - NCT06330909Recruiting
Focused radiation boost for prostate cancer
This trial tests a newer, more precise radiation treatment that gives a higher dose to the main tumor while keeping radiation to the rest of the prostate the same. It is for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer who haven't had prior prostate radiation or removal.
Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT03973671Recruiting
Collecting blood and tissue samples during bladder cancer surgery
This study collects clinical and tissue samples from people who are having surgery for bladder cancer and related urinary-tract tumors. It aims to improve understanding of cancer and may help future care by building a large research dataset.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–90 - NCT06335693Recruiting
Short-course radiation after prostate surgery
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy (hypofractionated radiotherapy) for men who have already had their prostate removed and still have signs of cancer (like rising PSA). The goal is to see if this can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05514015RecruitingPhase 4
Rituximab with steroids or rituximab alone for membranous kidney disease
This trial studies how well rituximab works in primary membranous nephropathy (a kidney condition) either by itself or with corticosteroids (steroids). It aims to see which approach controls protein leakage in the urine and protects kidney function.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06343077RecruitingPhase 2
Hiltonol injection for prostate cancer on active surveillance
This trial tests a drug called Hiltonol (Poly-ICLC) given directly into the prostate tumor along with an injection under the skin. It is for men with low-risk prostate cancer who are on active surveillance, to see if the drug can slow or stop the cancer from growing.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06341478Recruiting
Bladder Cancer Tissue Study in Muscle-Invasive Patients
This study looks at tumor and blood samples from people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer to find markers that help predict how the disease will progress. It aims to improve personalized treatment for those with this specific stage of bladder cancer.
Milan, MiAges 18 years+ - NCT03959163Recruiting
Quick kidney MRI test in children with kidney infection
This study checks whether a fast kidney MRI (“Quick MRI”) can help doctors in children who are being evaluated for kidney infection (pyelonephritis). It may help confirm kidney involvement without relying only on slower or more complex tests.
Madison, WisconsinAges birth–21 years - NCT05447273Recruiting
MRI to plan less invasive surgery for penile cancer
This trial studies how functional MRI scans (a special MRI that shows how tissues work) can help doctors plan surgery for newly diagnosed penile squamous cell cancer. It may help more people get organ-sparing surgery, which aims to remove the cancer while preserving as much function as possible.
OsloAges Any age - NCT06323018Recruiting
Remote preconditioning for cemented hip replacement recovery
This trial tests whether a simple, safe treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your arm just before surgery) can help people recover better after cemented hip replacement. It is for patients aged 66 and older who are scheduled for this surgery.
Tartu, TartuAges 65–90 - NCT06350825RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery plus hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests if removing the prostate and giving strong hormone therapy works better than hormone therapy alone for men whose prostate cancer has spread. It aims to improve how long patients live without the cancer worsening.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75
