Heart risk reduction in prostate cancer patients on hormone therapy
This study tests whether a team of doctors, nurses, and other specialists can help reduce the risk of heart problems in men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy (ADT). It focuses on providing extra support for heart health.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT06168487RecruitingPhase 1
Telmisartan for stable prostate cancer
This trial tests the blood pressure medication telmisartan in men with prostate cancer who are already on a stable treatment and not needing an immediate change. The goal is to see if adding telmisartan can help control the cancer without extra side effects.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06165302Recruiting
Exercise study for men with advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help men with metastatic prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy. It looks at changes in cancer cells and overall well-being.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06171269Recruiting
MRI-guided radiation dose reduction for prostate cancer
This trial tests whether using MRI scans to guide radiation can allow lower doses to the healthy parts of the prostate, potentially reducing side effects. It is for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer that can be seen on MRI and has not spread.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06179771Recruiting
Filter during dialysis or ECMO for severe illness
This study tests a special filter (HA380 column) used during dialysis or ECMO to remove harmful substances from the blood. It is for critically ill patients with severe infection, injury, or breathing problems who also need kidney or lung support.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18–65 - NCT06173323Recruiting
Improving decision-making for kidney disease patients and their caregivers
This study tests a program to help people with advanced chronic kidney disease (stage 4 CKD) and their caregiver work together on medical decisions. It aims to see if the program improves communication and partnership.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06161324Enrolling by invitation
Home-based rehab for women with bladder leaks
This study tests whether a home exercise program using a smartphone app can help women with stress or mixed urinary incontinence strengthen their pelvic floor muscles and reduce leakage.
Pátrai, AchaiaAges 18–75 - NCT06158620RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nasal spray for pain after ureter stent placement
This trial tests whether a nasal spray form of the painkiller ketorolac can safely reduce pain from a ureteral stent after stone surgery. If you are having a ureteroscopy with stent placement, this might help you manage discomfort without stronger medications.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06163469Recruiting
Chlorhexidine bladder wash for people with long-term suprapubic catheters
This study tests whether washing the bladder with a solution called chlorhexidine (a germ-killer) can lower the number of unplanned hospital visits and improve quality of life for people who have a long-term suprapubic catheter. You may be eligible if you have had a catheter for at least a year and have had a recent urinary tract infection.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06173349RecruitingPhase 1
New bladder therapy for BCG-resistant bladder cancer
This trial tests a new treatment for bladder cancer that does not respond to standard BCG therapy. The treatment uses tiny particles (micelles) that deliver a chemotherapy drug directly into the bladder, aiming to destroy cancer cells without needing surgery.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06172283Recruiting
Intermittent fasting with hormone therapy for prostate cancer
This trial tests whether intermittent fasting (alternating between eating and not eating for certain periods) can help men with prostate cancer who are receiving hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy). It aims to see if fasting during treatment can reduce side effects or improve how well the therapy works.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04954599RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CP-506 for hard-to-treat cancers with DNA repair defects
This Phase 1/2 study tests CP-506 in people with advanced solid tumors that have specific DNA repair problems (homologous recombination or Fanconi anemia-related defects). It may be used alone or combined with carboplatin or an immune therapy, aiming to shrink tumors or improve control when standard options are limited.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06139575RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A study of a new drug for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a radioactive drug called Lu 177 JH020002 for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. The drug targets a protein on cancer cells to deliver radiation directly, possibly slowing the disease.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06136650RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new oral drug called opevesostat against another standard hormone therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer controlled by a first hormone therapy. It's for men who have not had chemotherapy for this stage and who have not used a PARP inhibitor or chose not to.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06150742Recruiting
Nafamostat for dialysis patients who can't use heparin
This trial tests a new medicine called nafamostat to prevent blood clots during continuous dialysis (CRRT), for people who are at high risk of bleeding or can't take heparin.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06155084RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
HP518 for advanced prostate cancer that has spread
This trial tests an oral drug called HP518 for men with a specific genetic change in their prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if HP518 can control the cancer.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06138067Recruiting
Navigator program to help cancer patients join clinical trials
This study tests if a patient navigator can help more people with prostate or kidney cancer enroll in clinical trials. You may be assigned to work with a navigator who helps find a trial that fits your needs.

Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT06147414Recruiting
Blood test for genetic disorders in pregnancy
This study tests a safer blood test to check for certain genetic disorders during pregnancy, instead of an invasive procedure like amniocentesis. It's for pregnant women who are at risk of passing on a known genetic condition.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06145139Enrolling by invitation
