Stopping or continuing blood thinners during prostate vaporization
This study compares whether people can safely stop or continue oral blood thinners during a prostate procedure called photovaporization. It may help reduce bleeding risk without increasing dangerous clot risks for the right patients.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT03305835Recruiting
Genetic testing for inherited kidney stone causes
This study uses genetic testing to look for inherited (“monogenic”) reasons some people get kidney stones. It may help explain the cause of stones and calcium-related problems, which can guide future care for you or your family.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT03321656RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Envarsus XR after kidney transplant to reduce hidden rejection
This study looks at whether Envarsus XR helps prevent “subclinical” (not obviously noticeable) kidney transplant rejection by changing blood immune test results. You may be able to join if you recently received a kidney transplant and can take the study medicine as required.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–75 - NCT03322891Recruiting
Helping African-American men understand prostate cancer care
This study tests an approach to improve health understanding for African-American patients with early-stage prostate cancer. It may help you communicate better with your care team and feel more confident managing your diagnosis and next steps.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 25–100 - NCT03327675Recruiting
PET imaging test to plan personalized prostate cancer treatment
This trial tests a high-precision scan that uses a prostate cancer marker to show where cancer may be. The goal is to use the scan results to better plan treatment, especially around surgery and lymph nodes, in certain patients with prostate cancer.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT03329313RecruitingPhase 2
Adjusting dialysis salt levels for ICU kidney injury
This study tests whether using a specific salt (sodium) level in the dialysis fluid affects outcomes for adults in the ICU with sudden kidney failure. It may help your care team optimize dialysis settings during acute kidney injury.
Montpellier, MontpellierAges 18–80 - NCT03344835Recruiting
Study database for adults with prostate cancer
This study sets up a database of people with prostate cancer so researchers can learn more about patterns and outcomes. It may help your care indirectly by improving how prostate cancer is studied in Hong Kong.
ShatinAges 18 years+ - NCT03379909RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin taken by mouth for early bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a diabetes medicine called metformin can help prevent or control non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer inside the bladder. You would take it by mouth, and the study checks safety and whether it works.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT03382158Recruiting
Learn about DICER1-related tumors through a patient registry
This registry collects information about people with known or suspected DICER1-related conditions, including certain rare chest and other tumor types. It helps doctors and researchers understand these conditions better and may support future studies.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges birth–100 years - NCT03392233RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for spinal metastases causing significant pain
This trial tests a focused form of radiation (stereotactic body radiation) to treat cancer spread to the spine, especially when it causes substantial pain. It may help shrink or control the spinal spots while limiting damage to surrounding tissues.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT03396562Recruiting
Study of early development in babies with extra sex chromosomes
This study follows infants and young children with conditions caused by having an extra sex chromosome (like XXY, XYY, or XXX) to learn how health and development unfold over time. It may help families and doctors understand what to expect and what support could be helpful.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1 month–1.1 years - NCT03408964Recruiting
Blood tests to predict treatment response in prostate cancer
This study checks whether certain blood markers can help predict how well people with prostate cancer will respond to therapy. It may help doctors choose the most effective treatment sooner by using information from your blood.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03413982Recruiting
Bladder cancer blood and tissue study for new tests and treatments
This study collects samples from people who may have bladder cancer or already have a bladder cancer diagnosis. Those samples will help researchers develop better biomarkers (lab tests) and new therapies in the future.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03414827Recruiting
Genetic testing study for kidney cancer
This study looks at genetic features of kidney cancer by testing tumor samples. The goal is to find biomarkers—specific signs—that may help predict what kind of kidney cancer it is.
RoskildeAges Any age - NCT03424850RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested different radiation doses for early prostate cancer
This trial studies how safe and effective different high-dose radiation levels are for prostate cancer placed directly in the prostate (HDR brachytherapy). It may help by finding a dose that controls the cancer while keeping side effects acceptable.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT03437057Recruiting
Aspirin after kidney stone treatment to prevent clotting
This study looks at whether taking a daily aspirin medicine during and after extracorporeal shockwave treatment for a kidney stone helps keep the blood from “clumping” too much. It will compare different maintenance approaches while monitoring safety, especially bleeding risk.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT03457168Recruiting
Testing treatment for high blood pressure during sleep
This study looks at how to manage high blood pressure specifically during sleep, aiming to lower the risk it can cause over time. It may help you if your blood pressure readings stay high at night even if you’re otherwise able to function normally.
Ourense, OrenseAges 18 years+ - NCT03466619Recruiting
Penile implant surgery for erectile dysfunction when medicines fail
This trial looks at using a penile implant pump to help erections in people whose erectile dysfunction can’t be fixed with standard medicine or can’t safely take it. It may help if pills or other treatments have not worked for you, but it also requires the ability to use the device correctly and safely.
Cairo, ElgharbiaAges 18–80 - NCT03474913Recruiting
Upright MRI to help screen for prostate cancer
This study checks whether an MRI done while you are in an upright position can help with prostate cancer screening. If you have been advised to get a prostate MRI, the researchers may also do an ultrasound-guided biopsy to confirm results.
New York, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT03492424Recruiting
Focal prostate cancer treatment study
This study looks at outcomes after “focal therapy,” a type of treatment that targets only part of the prostate, for people with newly diagnosed or returning prostate cancer. It may help researchers understand how well this targeted approach works and for whom.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03495427RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
PSMA PET scan to find early prostate cancer spread
This study uses a PSMA PET scan to look for early spread of prostate cancer in men with higher-risk genetic test results (Decipher score above 0.45). It may help doctors spot metastases sooner so treatment decisions can be better targeted.
