AI detects bladder tumors during cystoscopy
This trial tests if artificial intelligence can spot bladder tumors in videos taken during a cystoscopy exam. If you are already scheduled for a cystoscopy and the video is clear, you may be able to participate.

Comparing treatments for hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer
This trial looks at combining hormone therapy with either chemotherapy (docetaxel), a targeted pill (like abiraterone or enzalutamide), or radiation to the prostate tumor for men whose prostate cancer has spread but is still sensitive to hormones. The goal is to see which approach works best for controlling the cancer.

CAR-NK cell therapy for certain solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests a lab-made immune cell treatment for advanced solid tumors that show specific targets (including Claudin 6, GPC3, Mesothelin, or AXL). It may help the immune system better recognize and kill tumor cells, but eligibility depends on test results and your overall health.

This study tests whether a pain-relief method helps reduce discomfort after a vasectomy. It may help you recover more comfortably.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT07820566Recruiting
Personalized 3D tumor model for kidney, bladder, and prostate cancers
This study uses your tumor sample to build a personalized 3D model that mimics how your cancer grows. The goal is to better understand these cancers and potentially find more effective treatments in the future.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07822152RecruitingPhase 1
Cord blood stem cells for diabetic kidney disease
This trial tests whether injecting stem cells from donated umbilical cords can help people with kidney damage caused by type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if this treatment can slow the decline in kidney function and safely improve their condition.
WuhanAges 30–70 - NCT07822100Recruiting
Personalized treatment for IgA nephropathy and IgA vasculitis
This trial tests a personalized approach that uses a blood test to help guide targeted therapies for IgA nephropathy and IgA vasculitis. It may help reduce kidney damage and control the disease with fewer side effects.

Shockwave treatment for erectile dysfunction when pills do not work
This study tests a new treatment using low-intensity shockwaves to help men with erectile dysfunction who have not responded well to standard pills. It may offer an alternative to improve erectile function.
Hong KongAges 30–80 - NCT05570929Recruiting
Study of kidney changes before and around donation
This study follows people who are planning kidney donation or a kidney transplant to better understand how kidney function changes over time. It may help researchers predict risk and improve care by studying health markers in detail.
BerlinAges 18–75 - NCT05352178RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted treatment for few-spread prostate cancer spots
This Phase 3 trial tests whether treating only a small number of prostate cancer metastases can help people with “oligorecurrent” (limited repeat) prostate cancer. It may reduce cancer activity while avoiding broader whole-body treatment for some patients.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05549024RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET/CT scan study for certain prostate, brain, or breast cancers
This early-phase study tests special PET/CT scans using a radioactive tracer to see cancer areas that have specific targets. It may help doctors better visualize tumors and plan next steps, using scans that you may already be familiar with (FDG) plus targeted tracers.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05618886Recruiting
Pelvic floor exercises for urinary leakage in women
This study tests whether pelvic floor muscle training (exercises) can improve urinary incontinence (urine leakage) in Nepalese women. If you qualify, you may be asked to learn and do the exercises as part of a research program and share feedback during follow-up.
Dhulikhel, Kavrepalanchok District- 3Ages 18–45 - NCT06490211Recruiting
Studying multi-omics data for urinary tumor diagnosis and treatment
This trial collects and analyzes imaging, lab tests, and tissue samples from people with bladder, kidney, or prostate cancer. The goal is to see how combining these different types of information can improve diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06491056Recruiting
Focal therapy study for prostate cancer in Asia
This study tests a targeted treatment for prostate cancer that aims to treat only the cancer while sparing healthy tissue. It may be an option for men with low to medium risk prostate cancer.
SingaporeAges 40–85 - NCT07811570Recruiting
Finding early signs of kidney damage after heart surgery
This study looks for early signs in your blood or urine that can predict if you might develop kidney damage after heart or blood vessel surgery. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier so they can protect their kidneys.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07813637RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a combination of two new drugs for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests two new investigational drugs, JANX013 and JANX007, together in men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to standard hormone therapy. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07814118Enrolling by invitation
Understanding how your body works during routine care
This study looks at how different body systems work together in people with various conditions and healthy volunteers. It uses routine medical tests and data to understand health better, which can help improve future care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06493292Recruiting
