Lutetium-177 Treatment for Advanced Prostate Cancer
This trial tests a radioactive medication (177Lu-P17-088) designed to target and treat prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and stopped responding to hormone therapy. The medication is guided to cancer cells using a special imaging scan, potentially offering a new treatment option for men who have already tried other standard therapies.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–90 - NCT07561957Recruiting
Smartphone app to help manage chronic kidney disease
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD)—a condition where the kidneys don't filter blood as well as they should—follow the latest medical guidelines. The app aims to make it easier for younger adults to stay on top of their kidney health and treatment.
DublinAges 16–30 - NCT07562386Recruiting
Prostate Surgery Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction Study
This study compares two surgical techniques for enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) to see which one works better and how satisfied patients are afterward. If you have moderate prostate enlargement and urinary symptoms, this trial might help improve your treatment.
HamarAges Up to 80 years - NCT07561424Recruiting
Comparing different dialysis membrane types for kidney patients
This study compares three types of dialysis filters to see which works best at removing waste from your blood and improving your health outcomes. If you receive regular hemodialysis at a clinic, this trial may help doctors understand which filter type is most effective for you.

Intravaginal device for urine leakage in female runners
This trial studies whether using a device placed inside the vagina can reduce urine leakage during running. It’s aimed at women who leak urine regularly while they run and are willing to keep running at their usual pace and schedule during the study.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06725212Recruiting
Water vapor therapy for enlarged prostate
This trial tests a new treatment that uses water vapor (steam) to shrink an enlarged prostate. It may help men with bothersome urinary symptoms who have not had other prostate procedures.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 45–80 - NCT05989854Recruiting
Online exercise for prostate cancer quality of life
This study tests whether a supervised online exercise program can improve quality of life for men with prostate cancer. It's designed for men who are on long-term hormone therapy and aren't currently receiving chemo or radiation.
Guildford, SurreyAges 18–99 - NCT06696326Recruiting
New PET scan for prostate cancer detection
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (68Ga-MY6349) to better see prostate cancer in the body. It may help doctors find cancer that has come back or spread, so you can get the right treatment sooner.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–90 - NCT07552168RecruitingPhase 2
Advanced Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer in Ireland
This trial tests a newer type of radiation therapy called SABR (stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy) for men with prostate cancer. It aims to deliver high doses of radiation precisely to the tumor in fewer treatments, potentially reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
Dublin, LeinsterAges 18 years+ - NCT07557225Recruiting
New PET Scan for Detecting Multiple Cancer Types
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a specialized imaging test) that may better detect certain cancers by looking for a specific marker found on many tumor types. The scan uses a new tracer called 18F-T2 to help doctors see cancer more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07551674Recruiting
Action Observation for Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength in Older Women
This study tests whether watching someone perform pelvic floor exercises—combined with helpful mental imagery—helps older women regain bladder control. It focuses on stress incontinence, when urine leaks during coughing, sneezing, or exercise.
IstanbulAges 65–80 - NCT07558447Recruiting
Studying Tiny Particles to Predict Chemotherapy Nerve Damage
This study looks at tiny particles in your blood to understand and potentially predict nerve damage caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. Researchers will monitor you before, during, and after your cancer treatment to see if these particles can help warn doctors about this common side effect.
