Testing a copper-based scan and treatment in advanced cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial studies a copper-labeled medicine called 64Cu-GRIP B in people with advanced, metastatic cancers. It may help doctors see where cancer is and how well the drug works, especially alongside immune checkpoint therapy for some cancer types.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05903859RecruitingPhase 3
Study to improve fertility in men after spinal cord injury
This phase 3 study tests a treatment to improve reproductive function (fertility-related measures) in men who have had a traumatic spinal cord injury. If you may be eligible, it could help researchers see whether the treatment improves reproductive outcomes for men with spinal cord injury.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05889806Enrolling by invitation
Study uses blood and tissue samples for gene and protein testing
This study collects and analyzes your donated samples (like blood or other biospecimens) to look for patterns in genes and proteins. The results may help researchers understand disease biology and improve future tests or treatments.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05879432RecruitingPhase 2
Peptide treatment to prevent or lessen kidney injury after heart surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests an LSALT peptide given around the time of “on-pump” heart surgery to help prevent or reduce acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). It may help people who are at higher risk for kidney injury during or after surgery.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05880537Recruiting
Dialysis access graft registry using a processed donor artery
This study follows people with kidney failure who need dialysis access, when they receive an AV (artery-to-vein) access graft made from a processed donor artery. It’s meant to track safety and how well the new graft performs in real-world care.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05860231Recruiting
Comparing two catheters for long-term bladder drainage
This study compares two types of catheters for people who need long-term bladder drainage. It tests if a new valve-style catheter works as well as the standard one.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, TenerifeAges 18 years+ - NCT05856981RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ADU-1805 for advanced solid tumors safety
This early study tests whether ADU-1805 is safe in people with advanced solid tumors and checks how the body processes the drug. Depending on your cancer type, it may also be looking specifically at certain cancers that have not yet received PD-(L)1 immunotherapy.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05874921Recruiting
Registry for adults with UTUC treated with Jelmyto
This registry collects information about adults with upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) who received Jelmyto after it was approved. It helps doctors understand outcomes and real-world experience with Jelmyto.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05865002RecruitingPhase 1
Safety and drug test for AUR107 in advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests whether AUR107 is safe and may help shrink or control advanced solid tumors that have come back or progressed. You may be considered if standard treatments no longer work and you meet specific blood, organ, and health requirements.
Vijayawada, Andhra PradeshAges 18 years+ - NCT05869682RecruitingPhase 2
Bright light therapy for fatigue and depression in prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a “bright white light” intervention can reduce cancer-related fatigue and depression in people with advanced prostate cancer receiving hormone-based treatment. If it works, it could improve day-to-day well-being while you’re on standard cancer therapies.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT05864196RecruitingPhase 1
Testing two-shot prostate radiation with MRI-guided planning
This early-phase study tests a prostate radiation approach given in two treatments, planned using MRI. It’s designed for men with lower-to-intermediate risk prostate cancer and aims to see if this method is safe and works well.
Mineola, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05873192RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib plus enzalutamide before prostate surgery
