Gut microbes and sex risks for kidney stones after weight surgery
This study looks at how gut bacteria (microbes), along with sex, may affect the chance of getting kidney stones after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk so prevention can be improved.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–130 - NCT04545957Recruiting
Radiation planning study using MRI for adults with cancer
This trial tests a “master protocol” approach to use MRI (a detailed body scan) to help plan radiation treatment for people with cancer. It may help doctors customize radiation more accurately, depending on your specific cancer type.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04397159Recruiting
Exercise program to reduce tiredness in some kidney patients
This trial studies whether doing a combination exercise program can reduce “fatigability,” meaning feeling unusually tired or weak during activity, in Veterans with moderate-to-advanced chronic kidney disease. It also compares results with people without kidney disease and checks for safety, especially for heart and joint health.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 50–85 - NCT04423211RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery-recovered prostate cancer treated with PET-guided radiation
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation guided by a PET scan (along with hormone therapy) can improve outcomes for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. The PET scan helps doctors look for spots outside the usual radiation area so treatment can be tailored.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04489719Recruiting
Testing whether DNA repair changes affect radium-223 response
This study looks at whether differences in a cancer’s DNA repair system can predict how well radium-223 works for men with prostate cancer that has spread to the bones. It may help researchers choose better treatment for people with bone metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04399876Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Testing an implantable device to study drug response in prostate cancer
This early-phase study uses a tiny implant placed during prostate cancer surgery planning to help researchers measure how tumors respond to treatment while still in the body. The results may help improve future treatment choices for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22 years+ - NCT04430426Enrolling by invitation
Study for kidney stone patients with an AGXT gene change
This study looks at people age 18+ who have a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones and who have a specific AGXT gene change found on genetic testing. It involves following a controlled diet for five days, which may help researchers understand how diet affects kidney stones in this group.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04403633Recruiting
Mobile app study to help kids with acute kidney injury
This study looks at what helps and what gets in the way when using a mobile health app to improve care for children hospitalized with acute kidney injury. It may help by improving how families and teams use tools during a serious hospital condition.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 1–18 - NCT04423484Recruiting
Treatment plan study for newly diagnosed one kidney tumor
This trial looks at what treatment recommendations work best for children with a nephroblastoma (Wilms tumor) that is in only one kidney and has not been treated yet. It may help doctors choose the best next steps for care while the child’s overall health supports treatment.
OuagadougouAges 6 months–18 years - NCT04444440RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotic prevention after bladder Botox for overactive bladder
This trial studies whether taking an antibiotic around the time of bladder Botox can lower the risk of urinary infections. It’s for women with overactive bladder who tried standard medicines but didn’t get enough relief.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT04472338Recruiting
Prostate cancer screening for people with higher genetic risk
This study looks at prostate cancer screening for people who may be at higher risk because of a specific inherited (genetic) change. It may help your care team find the best screening approach to catch aggressive prostate cancer earlier.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT04402151RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA scan–guided targeted radiation for higher-risk prostate cancer
This trial uses a special PET/MR scan to help doctors aim stereotactic radiation more precisely for certain higher-risk or unfavorable intermediate prostate cancers. It studies whether this targeted approach can safely treat the prostate (and specific areas needing extra treatment) without spreading to the body.
New York, New YorkAges 21–90 - NCT04399941Recruiting
Ultrasound inside the blood vessel for dialysis access issues
This trial tests a special type of ultrasound placed inside a blood vessel to better understand problems with dialysis access. It may help doctors find the cause of access malfunction during your diagnostic fistulogram.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT04390230Recruiting
Who can use the scrotal pump on their inflatable penile implant?
This trial looks at whether men with an inflatable penile prosthesis can properly use the scrotal pump. It aims to understand which patients are able to operate the device successfully.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT04452305Recruiting
Frozen testicle tissue transplant to restore fertility
This study tests using previously frozen (cryopreserved) testicle cells or tissue to regrow testicular tissue. If you’ve had cancer treatment that can harm fertility, this may help restore natural fertility potential using your own tissue.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT04392206RecruitingPhase 1
Study paste to prevent narrowing in new arm dialysis fistulas
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment (called AMSCs) to help stop scar-like narrowing at the connection point of a new arm dialysis fistula. If it works and is safe, it could improve long-term fistula function so dialysis can work better.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT04410302Recruiting
Personalized tumor research for bladder, lung, stomach, and liver cancers
This study uses a small sample of your tumor to grow it in the lab, which may help researchers understand your cancer better and find treatments that work for you.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 21–100 - NCT04420702Recruiting
MRI scan study to improve prostate detection
This trial studies special MRI images to learn how well they can find prostate cancer before treatment. It may help doctors choose better next steps during biopsy or during active surveillance.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04389632RecruitingPhase 1
Sigvotatug vedotin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This early-stage study tests a drug called sigvotatug vedotin in people with advanced solid cancers that cannot be removed or have spread. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
