- NCT07067905RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan test for glioblastoma and kidney cancer
This trial tests a new PET scan tracer called [68Ga]Ga-XT771 to see if it can better detect glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor) and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (a type of kidney cancer). If you have one of these cancers, this scan might help your doctor see the tumor more clearly.

Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07071948Recruiting
Study of VISOR for kidney stone treatment
This trial tests a new device called VISOR to help break up kidney stones using a flexible tube and laser. It's for adults aged 18–80 with stones between 1 and 3 cm who haven't had previous kidney surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07072468RecruitingPhase 2
Test of a gel for nerve pain after chemotherapy
This study tests a new gel (VMD-3866) applied to the skin to treat moderate nerve pain, numbness, or tingling caused by previous chemotherapy. It aims to see if the gel can safely reduce pain for people whose symptoms have been stable for at least 8 weeks.

Psilocybin therapy for anxiety in cancer patients
This trial tests whether psilocybin (a psychedelic drug given with talk therapy) can help people with cancer who have adjustment disorder—a condition where a cancer diagnosis causes severe anxiety or stress. It focuses on reducing anxiety and improving emotional well-being.
Abbotsford, VictoriaAges 18–80 - NCT07073703Recruiting
A personalized program for frailty in bladder or kidney cancer patients
This trial tests a personalized 6-month program to reduce frailty in older patients who are about to have surgery for bladder or kidney cancer. The program includes exercise and support, and aims to help patients stay stronger during and after treatment.
Saint-EtienneAges 65 years+ - NCT07073794RecruitingPhase 2
Home versus clinic cancer therapy for Black men with prostate cancer
This study looks at whether giving certain prostate cancer treatments at home (instead of the clinic) works as well for Black men. If you qualify, you may get your regular treatment at home with a nurse.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07074015Recruiting
AI tool to find sperm in surgery samples for male infertility
This study tests an artificial intelligence tool that helps doctors find very rare sperm in tissue removed during sperm retrieval surgery. If you have non-obstructive azoospermia (no sperm in your semen) and are having micro-TESE surgery, the AI might help find sperm that standard methods miss.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07074717Recruiting
Skin vs cheek graft for urethra repair
This trial compares using skin from your penis versus tissue from inside your cheek to fix a long, tight scar in the front portion of your urinary tube (urethra). It may help if you have this scar and past attempts to widen the tube have failed.
Tanta, El-Gharbia Governorate, EgyptAges 1.5 years+ - NCT07074951Recruiting
Tonsillectomy and immune therapy for high-risk IgA kidney disease
This trial tests whether removing the tonsils (tonsillectomy) plus immune-suppressing therapy can help people with a high-risk form of IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease. It aims to slow down kidney damage and delay the need for dialysis.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–75 - NCT07075900Recruiting
Comparing two exercise programs for stress urinary incontinence
This study compares two different exercise programs for women with stress urinary incontinence. One program focuses on movement coordination, and the other focuses on pelvic floor muscle training. The goal is to find which approach works better.
IzmirAges 18–65 - NCT07076589Recruiting
New tool vs. standard tool for kidney stone surgery
This trial tests a new flexible suction tube for kidney stone removal versus the standard tube. It aims to see if the new tool works better and is safer for patients with small kidney stones.
CairoAges 14 years+ - NCT07077239Recruiting
Adaptive radiation after prostate surgery to lower side effects
This trial tests a precise, short-course radiation treatment (stereotactic body radiotherapy) after prostate removal surgery that adapts to your body each day to reduce side effects. It is for people whose prostate cancer has high-risk features or a rising PSA after surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07081412Recruiting
Home-based nerve stimulation for overactive bladder
This trial tests if a nerve stimulation treatment, usually done in a clinic, can be done at home using a mobile app. It aims to help women with overactive bladder symptoms like sudden urges to urinate.
Izmir, İzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT07083557Recruiting
Validation study for lab tests on hormones and metabolism

Columbia, MissouriAges 18–100 - NCT07084779Recruiting
AI in prostate biopsy work
This trial studies how AI might improve the process of prostate biopsies for people who have had an MRI. It may help if you are scheduled for a biopsy and have not been treated for prostate cancer before.
Cleveland, OhioAges 55–80 - NCT07086963Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for hypospadias repair
This study compares a standard surgery (TIP) to one that uses a small graft (DIG) to see which gives better results for boys with hypospadias. It may help determine if adding the graft improves healing and reduces complications.
