Study why PSMA radioligand therapy stops working
This study looks at tissue samples from tumors to understand how and why PSMA radioligand therapy may become less effective. If you have PSMA-avid cancer lesions that can be biopsied, the trial may help researchers find ways to improve treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02660645Recruiting
Blue light bladder scan for suspected bladder cancer
This trial uses a special blue-light camera during a bladder procedure to help doctors better see non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help find cancer spots more clearly so they can be treated sooner.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT02770066Recruiting
Registry study of PTRA in difficult-to-control blood pressure
This study keeps track of people with renovascular hypertension (high blood pressure likely linked to blocked kidney arteries) who may receive a procedure called PTRA. It aims to understand who benefits and how kidney and heart outcomes change over time.
AalborgAges Any age - NCT02993900Recruiting
Brachytherapy guided by imaging for gynecologic cancers
This study tests image-guided internal radiation (brachytherapy) for certain gynecologic cancers. It may help deliver radiation more precisely by using scans done close to enrollment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05327647RecruitingPhase 2
Bicalutamide with BCG for bladder cancer after BCG treatment
This trial studies whether bicalutamide can improve outcomes for people with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are starting BCG through the bladder. It may help prevent cancer from coming back or progressing after BCG.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05398783Recruiting
Study of how metabolism and body composition change over time
This natural history study follows people to understand how metabolism and body composition vary in health and disease. It may help researchers better measure metabolic changes and understand who is at risk as health and treatments change.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - NCT05413850RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lu-177 PSMA drug study for advanced prostate cancer
This early-stage study tests a radioactive prostate cancer medicine that targets PSMA (a protein on prostate cancer cells). It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for men whose cancer has spread and shows PSMA on a scan.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05413421RecruitingPhase 1
ORIC-944 for metastatic prostate cancer after hormone therapy
This early-phase trial tests ORIC-944 to see how well it works and what dose is safest for metastatic prostate cancer that has progressed after hormone-targeted pills. It may help people whose cancer has stopped responding to prior prostate cancer hormone treatments.
Colorado Springs, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05399537RecruitingPhase 3
Testing citrate fluid safety during kidney filtration (CRRT)
This Phase 3 study checks whether Prismocitrate 18 is safe for adults who need a kidney filtration treatment called CRRT. It is mainly for people who cannot safely use heparin (a common blood thinner) due to bleeding risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT05363280RecruitingPhase 2
Second-treatment study for lung or kidney cancer after initial therapy
This Phase 2 study tests a new treatment for people with small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or kidney cancer after they have finished their first main treatment. It may help shrink tumors or control the cancer further.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05404139RecruitingPhase 2
Short hormone therapy and radiation for prostate cancer that has spread a little
This trial tests a shorter course of hormone therapy plus targeted radiation for prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots (oligometastatic). The goal is to see if less hormone therapy can still control the cancer effectively.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–100 - NCT05396872Recruiting
Decision-making study about gene testing for advanced prostate cancer
This study looks at how Veterans with advanced prostate cancer make decisions about gene testing and possible targeted treatments, and how patients and caregivers understand the information. It may help by improving decision support for people facing germline and tumor testing choices.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05384821RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oral low-dose chemotherapy for relapsed Wilms tumor
This Phase 1/2 trial studies metronomic (very low, steady) chemotherapy taken by mouth or through a feeding tube for children with Wilms tumor that has come back or not responded to earlier treatment. It aims to shrink measurable tumors with better long-term tolerability than standard chemotherapy.
AmiensAges 1.5 years–17 years - NCT05370014Recruiting
Partner support program for chronic health conditions
This study tests a program that helps patients with chronic health conditions and their care partners work together to improve their health and well-being. If you live in a rural or underserved area in South Carolina and have a condition like diabetes or high blood pressure, you and your support person might be able to join.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05390892RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing kidney and heart damage in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether diabetes medicines can help prevent worsening heart and kidney problems in people with type 2 diabetes. You’ll be assigned by chance to one of these medicine types, and your other care will be adjusted for safety.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 40–80 - NCT05403177Recruiting
Share your cancer data and samples for Ontario research
This study collects and combines medical records, genetic (genomic) data, and tumor/blood samples from people with cancer. It helps researchers build and improve a large “gold standard” cancer dataset that can support future studies and better understanding of cancer.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05410275RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose rivaroxaban for dialysis patients without blood thinners
This study tests whether a lower dose of the blood thinner rivaroxaban is safe for people with kidney failure on dialysis who do not already need blood thinners. The goal is to find a way to prevent blood clots and strokes with less risk of bleeding.
ToursAges 18 years+ - NCT05385432RecruitingPhase 3
Kidney transplant induction therapy for sensitized patients
This trial tests a specific “induction” treatment to help people who have stronger immune reactions from past sensitizing events during a kidney transplant. It may help improve how well the transplant works and how safely the immune system is managed.
ToursAges 18–79 - NCT05370651Recruiting
Emsella chair versus sham treatment for male ejaculation problems
This trial compares an Emsella chair treatment to a sham (fake) treatment to help men with ejaculation difficulties. It wants to see whether the chair improves symptoms when other options have not helped enough.
Royal Oak, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05373264RecruitingPhase 3
Hydrochlorothiazide to help polycystic kidney disease and quality of life
This Phase 3 study tests whether hydrochlorothiazide can help people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and improve quality of life. It also looks at whether it affects kidney health while you stay on your current ADPKD-related treatment.
GrazAges 18–80 - NCT05398302RecruitingPhase 1
Biopsies during prostate cancer treatment to study resistance
This early study uses image-guided biopsies (small tissue samples taken with imaging) to learn why metastatic prostate cancer may stop responding to PSMA radioligand therapy. The results may help doctors understand resistance and improve future treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05361798RecruitingPhase 2
Testing immune response after prostate radiation with or without a drug
This study checks how your immune system’s cancer-fighting cells change after stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) to the prostate. It compares SBRT alone versus SBRT plus an immunotherapy drug (PDS01ADC) in men with intermediate- or high-risk localized prostate cancer treated with hormone therapy (ADT).
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05348876RecruitingPhase 4
Darolutamide plus standard hormone therapy for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial studies how safe darolutamide is and how well it works when added to standard hormone therapy for men with high-risk, non-metastatic prostate cancer that is no longer responding to hormone treatment. It may help slow prostate cancer growth and reduce prostate-specific antigen (PSA) rises in real-world care.
