Freezing tumor treatment plus targeted radiation for painful bone spread
This study tests whether combining a “freezing” procedure (cryoablation) with focused external radiation (SBRT) can reduce pain from bone metastases. It’s for people with certain cancers that have spread to bone and are having significant pain in a specific bone spot.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04715191RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T therapy for GPC3-positive pediatric solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a customized immune-cell treatment (CAR T cells) made to recognize GPC3, a marker found on some tumors. It’s designed for children and young people whose solid tumors have not been cured by standard treatment and who can safely receive this therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 1–21 - NCT04706481Recruiting
Use of stored, de-identified samples for research
This trial is for people who already agreed to let researchers use their stored biological samples and medical information that has been removed of personal identifiers. It may help future studies by allowing researchers to analyze existing samples without using new samples from you.
Hong KongAges Any age - 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 - NCT03720860Recruiting
Study inflammatory signals in sudden kidney injury in ICU
This study looks at substances related to inflammation to better understand sudden kidney problems in people who are very sick in the ICU. It may help improve how kidney injury is predicted and treated after severe illness or major events.
Uppsala, Uppsala CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT03778944Recruiting
Improving kidney graft function during donor kidney surgery
This study looks at ways to help a donated kidney work better after transplant. It is intended for people who are receiving a living-donor kidney transplant due to kidney failure.
CairoAges 18–60 - NCT04757116Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for enlarged prostate
This study compares two minimally invasive devices (iTind and UroLift) to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It is for men whose symptoms are bothersome enough to need treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 50 years+ - NCT04729114RecruitingPhase 1
Safety and dose test of PRL-02 shot for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how safe PRL-02 depot (an injection) is and finds the best dose for men with advanced prostate cancer. It may help determine a new treatment option for cancers that have spread or are getting worse despite standard care.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04752722RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for bladder cancer that came back after BCG
This study tests a new gene therapy (EG-70) given directly into the bladder for people with a high-risk bladder cancer called NMIBC. It may be an option if BCG treatment stopped working, or if you cannot have or choose not to have bladder removal surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04546230Recruiting
Epidural anesthesia for keyhole kidney removal surgery
This trial studies using a small-needle spinal/epidural type pain medicine delivered to your back during a keyhole kidney removal. It may help control pain and reduce the need for stronger pain medicines during and after surgery.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT04271579Recruiting
Surgery for early prostate cancer spread seen on PSMA PET
This trial studies whether operating on a small, one-sided (unilateral) area of prostate cancer spread in the pelvic lymph nodes—found on a PSMA PET scan—can help control recurrence. It’s meant for people whose PSA is still low and whose spread appears limited on the scan.
HamburgAges 18–75 - NCT04628767RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Durvalumab plus chemo before surgery for upper tract cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer. It compares different treatment approaches based on whether a patient can receive cisplatin chemotherapy.
Kingman, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04633252RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug plus docetaxel and abiraterone for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new targeted cancer drug (PDS01ADC) combined with standard treatments docetaxel and abiraterone for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and whether it can control cancer better than current approaches.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - NCT04616560RecruitingPhase 2
New drug for recurrent Wilms tumor, osteosarcoma, and DSRCT
This trial tests a targeted drug called trastuzumab deruxtecan for children and young adults with certain cancers that have come back or not responded to treatment. It may help if your tumor has not responded to standard therapies.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12–39 - NCT04634916Recruiting

La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04671771Recruiting
Testing a new graft for hemodialysis access in kidney failure
This study tests whether an “AV graft” implant works safely and well for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. It may help your dialysis access last and work better, compared with current expectations for AV grafts.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–90 - NCT04626167RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a bladder transplant done with a kidney transplant
This early-phase study is testing a combined bladder and kidney transplant approach for people whose bladder problems damage the kidneys. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve bladder and kidney outcomes and be done safely.

Targeted radiation plus hormone therapy for prostate cancer spread
This study compares different ways of giving radiation (SABR or brachytherapy) along with long-term hormone therapy for men whose prostate cancer has spread to a limited number of spots in the body. It aims to see which radiation approach controls the cancer as well as possible while keeping quality of life in mind.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04654000Recruiting
Rheopheresis to treat painful skin damage in calciphylaxis
This trial studies whether a treatment called rheopheresis, added to standard care, can help people with calciphylaxis whose skin wounds are getting worse. It may be considered when ulcers or dead (necrotic) skin appear despite conventional treatment.
