Collecting prostate cancer care details and prostate tissue samples
This trial enrolls adults who are being evaluated or treated for possible or confirmed prostate cancer and allows researchers to collect prostate tissue. It may help improve understanding of prostate cancer over the course of diagnosis and standard care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02638142Recruiting
Testing IV diuretic treatment for sudden worsening heart failure
This trial studies how an IV (into-the-vein) “water pill” (furosemide/loop diuretic) works in people whose heart failure has suddenly gotten worse. It may help doctors find the best way to reduce fluid-related symptoms like breathing trouble and swelling.
Chioggia, VeneziaAges 18 years+ - NCT02378805Recruiting
Alport syndrome registry to help delay kidney failure
This is a registry that collects information from people with Alport syndrome to better understand the disease and how to delay kidney failure. It may help researchers learn which factors and treatments are most important over time.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges Any age - NCT02724670Recruiting
MRI-guided radiation for prostate cancer patients
This study tests radiation treatment planned and guided using MRI scans (“image-guided radiotherapy”) for men with prostate cancer who are aiming for a cure. If you qualify, you may receive radiation with more precise targeting using MRI to help deliver treatment accurately.
TübingenAges 18 years+ - NCT02411773RecruitingPhase 1
Test a nerve-blocking medicine in kidney disease
This Phase 1 study tests whether a medicine that reduces nerve signals (“sympatholysis”) is safe and how it affects people with chronic kidney disease. It may help researchers understand new ways to protect the kidneys, but the main goal here is safety.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT02823821RecruitingPhase 4
Testing different salt levels in dialysis fluid to prevent blood vessel events
This study tests whether changing the salt (sodium) level in dialysis fluid can reduce problems in blood vessels. It is done in adult dialysis centers to compare outcomes between two sodium levels.
AdelaideAges 18 years+ - NCT02830724RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T therapy using blood immune cells for CD70 cancers
This trial tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CAR T) built from your own blood lymphocytes. It targets cancers that show a marker called CD70, aiming to slow or stop the cancer when other treatments didn’t work.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT02543905Recruiting
Profile study for men at higher prostate cancer risk
This trial looks at how inherited risk (family history or gene findings) relates to screening and treatment for prostate cancer. If you qualify, you may be offered prostate screening tests and follow-up to see how well risk information predicts next steps.
Sutton, SurreyAges 40–69 - NCT02573636Recruiting
Testing genes in prostate cancer after radiation relapse
This study looks at specific gene changes (TMPRSS2-ERG fusion and PTEN deletion) in people whose prostate cancer returned after radiation. It aims to understand who may have a higher risk of relapse and help predict outcomes after salvage or radical radiation.
Chicoutimi, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT02647827RecruitingPhase 2
Acupuncture or metformin for insulin resistance in PCOS
This study tests whether acupuncture or the diabetes medicine metformin can improve insulin resistance in women with PCOS. It may help with hormone-related symptoms and metabolic health, comparing the two approaches against usual care for non-PCOS controls.
BeijingAges 18–40 - 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+ - NCT02705846Recruiting
Study tracks outcomes in men with inherited prostate cancer risks
This study looks at how prostate cancer diagnoses and treatments turn out over time. It compares men who carry rare inherited gene changes that raise prostate cancer risk with men who do not, to better understand which treatments and outcomes may differ.
Sutton, SurreyAges 18 years+ - NCT02706561Recruiting
Helping men stick with erectile rehab after prostate surgery
This study tests a program to help men follow sexual (erection) rehabilitation after prostate cancer surgery. It may help improve or maintain erectile functioning by supporting the right rehab steps in the months after surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT02865330Recruiting
Registry study for men on active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer
This is a registry study that follows men with low-risk prostate cancer who choose active surveillance instead of immediate treatment. It helps doctors understand how safe and effective active surveillance is, including confirming results with repeat biopsies.
ValenciaAges 18–80 - NCT02954939Recruiting
Test medicines to change immune cells in lupus kidney flare
This study tests whether mycophenolate mofetil and cyclophosphamide can improve active lupus kidney inflammation by changing immune cell patterns in your blood. It may help patients whose lupus nephritis is currently active, shown by worsening urine protein and/or kidney blood tests.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT03032835Recruiting
Research study for calciphylaxis skin lesions
This study collects and stores information from people with calciphylaxis, a serious condition that causes painful skin lesions. It may help researchers learn more about the disease and improve future care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03258320RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing chemo plus surgery for certain prostate cancers
This trial compares different chemotherapy drugs given around the time of surgery to see which approach works best for men with certain locally advanced prostate cancer. It may help find a better way to control the cancer after surgery.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 40–75 - NCT03193515Recruiting
Blood test to monitor bladder cancer returning
This trial tests a new blood test that looks for signs bladder cancer may be coming back in people with a recent history of bladder cancer. It may help by making surveillance easier, but you must still follow a scheduled bladder-check plan.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03093688RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an immune-cell infusion for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding special immune cells (iNKT cells and CD8+ T cells) given by IV infusion can help treat advanced cancers. It mainly looks at safety first, and also checks whether the treatment can shrink or control cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT02947750RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise study in people with kidney disease
This Phase 2 study tests how engaging in supervised exercise affects the body’s blood-vessel responses in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who don’t exercise regularly. It may help researchers understand whether exercise could be beneficial for CKD-related health changes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT03362164Recruiting
Studying heart involvement in people with Fabry disease
This study looks at how the heart is affected in adults with Fabry disease. It may help doctors better understand heart-related changes in order to guide care.
Würzburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT03129854Recruiting
ADT with or without freezing the prostate for spread cancer
This trial compares standard hormone therapy (ADT) alone versus ADT plus a procedure that freezes the prostate (cryoablation) in people whose prostate cancer has spread. It looks to see whether adding freezing improves outcomes while keeping treatment safe.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–90 - NCT02936791Recruiting
Study of early inherited kidney cysts and healthy volunteers
This observational study follows people early in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and also some healthy volunteers to learn how the kidneys work over time. It may help researchers understand early changes, which could guide future treatments.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 4–35 - NCT02938611Recruiting
Study to estimate care needs for stage 4 kidney disease
This study aims to find out how common stage 4 kidney disease is in a specific area and how it is being managed. It may help doctors plan better care by improving local estimates and understanding current treatment approaches.
