Focal therapy for prostate cancer not visible on MRI
This study tests a new way to treat prostate cancer that is not visible on MRI but is detected by a special PET scan. The treatment is a focal therapy that targets only the cancer while sparing healthy tissue, and it aims to control the cancer with fewer side effects.

RestoreX traction therapy after prostate surgery
This trial studies whether RestoreX penile traction can help preserve erectile function after a prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate), especially when nerves are spared. If you qualify, you may be asked to use the device and be followed over time to see how erections change.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06962800RecruitingPhase 3
Study of felzartamab for adults with primary membranous nephropathy
This study tests whether felzartamab, given as an infusion, can help treat primary membranous nephropathy (a kidney disease causing protein in the urine and swelling). It may reduce protein loss and improve kidney function compared to standard care alone.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT07475806RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder-sparing drug combo for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This study tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, to see if they can help people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer avoid removing their bladder. The drugs are given before the standard surgery to possibly shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06742723RecruitingPhase 3
Study of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin for kidney disease and high blood pressure
This trial tests if combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin helps protect kidney function and reduce heart risks in people with chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure. It's for adults who are already taking standard blood pressure medications.
Fairhope, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06995898Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test that may help find cancer early. You will give blood samples over a year, and researchers will check them for signs of cancer.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 45–75 - NCT03573089Recruiting
Testing higher vs standard phosphate targets in dialysis patients
This trial compares two treatment goals for blood phosphate levels in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. It may help determine which target is safer and works better in real-world care.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07061964RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation to save the bladder
This trial tests whether combining immunotherapy and low-dose radiation after chemotherapy can help you avoid bladder removal. It's for people whose muscle-invasive bladder cancer has shrunk significantly after initial treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07611110RecruitingPhase 3
AZD2265 vs standard care for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new cancer-fighting drug called AZD2265 against standard treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. You may qualify if your cancer previously responded to PSMA-targeted radiation treatments but is now growing again.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07180121Enrolling by invitation
Information and support needs after bladder cancer surgery
This study looks at the information and support needs of people who have had bladder cancer and undergone a cystectomy. It aims to see how these needs change over time and to improve supportive care after surgery.
LinköpingAges 18–100 - NCT02871726Recruiting
Robot-assisted ultrasound biopsy of the prostate
This trial tests a robot-assisted method to take prostate tissue samples using an ultrasound probe placed through the rectum. It may help patients and doctors get clearer biopsy results when there are early warning signs of prostate problems, before a cancer diagnosis is confirmed.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 45–75 - NCT06960798Recruiting
Prostate cancer genetics study in Native Americans
This study looks at the genes of prostate cancer in Native American people. It aims to learn more about the disease in this population by testing stored tumor samples. You can join if you have a prostate cancer diagnosis and have a tumor sample available.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–100 - NCT06958796RecruitingPhase 4
CMV immunoglobulin to prevent disease after transplant
This trial tests whether giving CMV immunoglobulin (an antibody medicine) after transplant can help prevent a serious CMV infection in people who receive a kidney or liver from a CMV-positive donor. You might be eligible if you are getting one of these transplants and are at high risk for CMV.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT06401330RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized treatment for pediatric Wilms tumor
This study tailors treatment for children with Wilms tumor based on specific tumor features and risk factors. The goal is to give the right amount of therapy to each patient to minimize side effects while maintaining high cure rates.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 30 years - NCT05593497RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before prostate surgery for high-risk prostate cancer
This study tests a combination of hormone therapy and a targeted drug before prostate surgery for men with high-risk prostate cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
West Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06276491RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of an investigational drug for advanced cancer with the CLDN6 marker
This trial tests an investigational drug for people with advanced solid tumors, especially ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal, endometrial, or germ cell cancers that have a specific marker called CLDN6. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and tolerable.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 15 years+ - NCT07783958Recruiting
Sexual function and quality of life in polygamous versus monogamous marriages
This study looks at how being in a polygamous versus monogamous marriage affects sexual function and quality of life in Egyptian men. Participants will be asked to fill out an anonymous online questionnaire.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT04322318RecruitingPhase 2
Study of combination chemotherapy for Wilms tumor in children
This Phase 2 trial tests combination chemotherapy for children with certain types of Wilms tumor—either newly diagnosed diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumor or favorable Wilms tumor that has come back. The goal is to see how well the treatment controls the tumor and is tolerable for children.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 30 years - NCT05677100Recruiting
Aortix device for acute heart failure
This trial is testing a small pump placed in the aorta to help the kidneys remove extra fluid when standard IV diuretics aren't working well enough for severe heart failure. It may help you if you're hospitalized and still very congested (swollen, fluid buildup) despite strong water pills.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT06834594RecruitingPhase 4
Bleeding patterns in teens with Turner syndrome on progesterone
This study looks at how different ways of taking progesterone (a hormone given along with estrogen) affect bleeding patterns in teens with Turner syndrome. The goal is to find the best hormone schedule to cause regular, predictable periods.
