Atezolizumab and other drugs before prostate surgery for high-risk cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (atezolizumab) plus another drug before surgery can shrink or control high-risk localized prostate cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes by treating the cancer early, before radical prostatectomy.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03825874Recruiting
Study digestive side effects after antibiotics for UTIs in kids
This study looks at possible effects on a child’s digestive system after standard antibiotics are used to treat a fever-related urinary tract infection (UTI). It may help doctors better understand what side effects to expect and how to manage them.
Charenton-le-PontAges 3 months–3 years - NCT03830788Recruiting
Radiation options for early prostate cancer-related erections
This study compares two radiation treatments—seed brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy—to see which better preserves erections in men with early- to mid-risk prostate cancer. It’s designed to help patients understand how different curative radiation choices can affect sexual function.
AlbiAges 18 years+ - NCT03833921RecruitingPhase 2
Testing abiraterone and prednisone for metastatic prostate cancer by race
This trial studies how well abiraterone (a hormone-blocking medicine) plus prednisone (a steroid) works in people with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. It also looks at whether results differ by race/ethnicity and other health factors.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03836196Recruiting
Improve treatment for advanced prostate cancer with careful planning
This study looks at how to best plan and deliver treatment for men with advanced local prostate cancer. It may help find the most effective approach while keeping side effects manageable.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03841981Recruiting
Body fat and female hormone function study
This study looks at how body fat and exercise relate to how your ovaries work and how your hormones function. It may help explain why some women have irregular ovulation or hormone problems, and how lifestyle factors affect them.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–40 - NCT03844256RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bladder-sparing chemo-radiation plus immunotherapy for bladder cancer
This study tests whether adding immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab alone or nivolumab plus ipilimumab) to standard chemo-radiation can control muscle-invasive bladder cancer while helping people keep their bladder. It aims to find a safer, effective curative treatment for people who want to avoid bladder removal (cystectomy).
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT03844399Recruiting
3D ultrasound imaging during liver or kidney procedures
This study uses a new 3D ultrasound scan while you get standard care for a liver or kidney biopsy or ablation. The goal is to see whether the imaging is clear and useful during these procedures.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03857373Recruiting
Study testing a computer tool to detect kidney cancer after surgery
This trial is for people with renal (kidney) cancer who have already had surgery. The study is testing whether a computer method can use medical information from you to improve kidney-cancer detection.
RoskildeAges Any age - NCT03861507Recruiting
Power ultrasound helps locate prostate treatment needles
This trial studies whether a special ultrasound method (power Doppler ultrasound) can better guide where needles go during high-dose-rate radiation treatment for prostate cancer. The goal is to improve targeting during the procedure while you receive standard treatment.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03861676RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET-guided targeted radiation for early prostate cancer
This early-phase study tests a precise, targeted radiation treatment for prostate cancer, using a special PET scan to help plan exactly where to treat. It may help reduce the amount of radiation to surrounding tissues while treating the cancer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT03862859RecruitingPhase 4
Warfarin safety for people with atrial fibrillation on dialysis
This trial studies whether the blood thinner warfarin is safe and effective for preventing stroke and blood clots in people who have atrial fibrillation and need long-term dialysis. It may help your care team better balance clot prevention against bleeding risk.
Herlev, HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT03865914Recruiting
Study linking diabetes kidney findings to biopsy results
This study looks at people with type 2 diabetes who have kidney problems and relates their symptoms and lab findings to what is seen on kidney biopsy. It may help doctors better understand what is driving kidney damage in diabetes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03869554Recruiting
Screening for Fabry disease in people with kidney biopsy results
This study tests a screening approach to find Fabry disease in adults whose kidney biopsy findings are unclear or suggest certain kidney patterns. If Fabry disease is missed, it can delay targeted treatment, so screening may help identify people who could benefit from earlier care.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT03873259Recruiting
Testing a new way to check kidney stones during surgery
This trial tests a method called burst wave lithotripsy (BWL) to help doctors assess and treat kidney stones during a planned ureteroscopy procedure. It may help surgeons confirm how well the stone is being broken while you are on the operating table.
Carmel, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT03880422Recruiting
Exercise and nutrition for weight and frailty after prostate cancer treatment
This study tests whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve obesity-related frailty and overall function in people with advanced prostate cancer who are taking hormone therapy (ADT). It may help with strength, mobility, and healthier body weight during/after ADT.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03893929Recruiting
Test new markers to help diagnose prostate cancer
This study looks for new biological markers in men to improve how prostate cancer is diagnosed and followed. If you have signs that might be prostate cancer, your tests may help researchers find better clues for future care.
ShatinAges 18 years+ - NCT03908684Recruiting
Ultrasound tests to predict early response to prostate and head/neck radiation
This study uses special ultrasound imaging to look for early signs of how well radiation treatment is working in prostate, rectum, and head/neck cancers. It may help doctors spot response sooner and adjust care earlier if needed.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT03914391Recruiting
Find new urine tests to screen for prostate cancer
This study looks for new urine markers (signals) that could help screen for prostate cancer. If you have a higher PSA blood test and are scheduled for a prostate biopsy, your urine sample may be studied to see if it can improve screening.
ShatinAges 18 years+ - NCT03920033Recruiting
Radiation schedule for prostate cancer PSA relapse after surgery
This trial compares two different radiation schedules to treat prostate cancer that returned based on rising PSA blood tests after prostatectomy (prostate removal). If you qualify, it may help you and your team choose a radiation approach with the goal of controlling PSA relapse.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT03929887Recruiting
Kidney biopsy patients join a kidney tissue research bank
This study builds a kidney tissue “library” to help researchers analyze kidney disease in newer ways. It may help by improving how glomerular (kidney filter) diseases are understood over time, using samples from people who already had a biopsy.
ChuncheonAges Any age - NCT03929900Recruiting
Study follow-up for kidney disease in adults (non-dialysis)
This study follows adults with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis. It aims to better understand kidney health and test what care or monitoring might help over time.
Seoul, Jongno-guAges 45–79 - NCT03933670RecruitingPhase 2
MRI scan with special sugar to monitor prostate cancer on surveillance
This study uses a special MRI scan using “hyperpolarized” labeled pyruvate (a sugar-like substance) to see how prostate cancer may be behaving in people who are on active surveillance. It may help researchers monitor cancer without immediate treatment, by spotting changes earlier.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03949855RecruitingPhase 2
Belimumab plus rituximab for primary membranous nephropathy
This study tests whether adding belimumab to rituximab helps people with primary membranous nephropathy (a kidney disease) that has the right blood test marker and specific protein levels. The goal is to improve kidney outcomes and reduce disease activity while keeping treatment safe.
