Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07212478Recruiting
Pelvic floor exercises vs Pilates for urine leaks
This study compares two types of exercises—pelvic floor muscle training and Pilates—to see which works better for women who leak urine when they cough, sneeze, or exercise. If you are past menopause and have this kind of leak, you might be able to join.
Jacarezinho, ParanáAges 50–70 - NCT07214675Recruiting

Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07215624Recruiting
Survey on blood clot prevention after cancer surgery
This study surveys surgeons and surgical advanced practice providers about how they prevent blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) in patients after cancer surgery. It aims to understand current practices and improve future care.
Fort Smith, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07216885Recruiting
Testing a new hemodialysis machine in a dialysis center
This study tests a new dialysis machine called the Solv Multi-Pass System in a dialysis center. It looks at whether the machine works safely and effectively for people with end-stage kidney disease who need regular hemodialysis.
Greenville, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07217535Recruiting
Studying the genetics of kidney disease
This study collects DNA and health information from people in the U.S. to better understand how genes may affect kidney disease. Your participation could help researchers find new ways to prevent or treat kidney problems.
Piscataway, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07218913RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a drug to reduce ear damage from chemo in testicular cancer
This trial tests whether adding Pedmark (sodium thiosulfate) to cisplatin chemotherapy can protect hearing in men with stage II or III testicular germ cell tumors. It aims to reduce the risk of drug-related ear damage while still treating the cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07219147RecruitingPhase 1
Combination treatment for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a combination of two treatments for advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. One treatment is a targeted radiation therapy (177Lu-PSMA-617) and the other is an immunotherapy (sipuleucel-T) that helps your immune system fight the cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07219303Recruiting
Adaptive radiation therapy for intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a type of radiation that adjusts to changes in your prostate during treatment. It aims to improve accuracy and reduce side effects for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07219433Recruiting
Mobile app for women veterans with bladder leaks
This study tests a mobile health app called MyHealtheBladder to help women veterans manage urinary incontinence (unwanted bladder leaks). It looks at whether the app can improve symptoms and quality of life.
Durham, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT07219576RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of Retifanlimab and Ruxolitinib for Certain Cancers
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, retifanlimab and ruxolitinib, for people with advanced kidney cancer (clear cell renal cell carcinoma) or lung cancer (non-small cell lung carcinoma) whose cancer has grown after previous treatment with a type of immunotherapy called PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. The goal is to see if this combination can help when standard treatments are no longer working.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07220720RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan for suspicious prostate spots before biopsy
This trial tests whether a special PET scan (called POSLUMA) can help find prostate cancer earlier in men who have an MRI showing a suspicious spot (PIRADS 2 or 3) but haven't yet had a biopsy. If you are scheduled for a biopsy, this scan may give your doctor extra information before the procedure.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT07222436Recruiting
Blood test for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial studies a blood test that looks for tumor DNA in men with high-risk or advanced prostate cancer. It may help doctors understand the cancer better and guide treatment decisions.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07222683Recruiting
How kidney transplant affects heart blood vessel health
This study looks at how receiving a kidney transplant changes the health of small blood vessels in the heart. It may help people with advanced kidney disease understand the benefits of transplant on their heart health.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07222722Recruiting
Brain oxygen monitoring for preterm babies and kidney health
This trial uses a special monitor to check oxygen levels in the brain of very premature babies. It aims to see if low oxygen affects kidney health.
New York, New YorkAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07223424RecruitingPhase 2
Patient preference study: shot vs infusion for immunotherapy
This study compares two ways to take immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab or pembrolizumab): as a shot under the skin (subcutaneous) versus an infusion into a vein (intravenous). It looks at which method patients prefer and is for people with certain advanced cancers where these drugs are already approved.

Better ultrasound imaging with contrast before biopsy
This trial tests a new, detailed ultrasound technique that uses a contrast agent (called Definity) to get clearer images of a suspicious area before a biopsy. It may help doctors better see the blood flow in the lesion, which could improve diagnosis.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07225127Recruiting
Bladder cancer treatment: therapy vs. surgery
