Test to use less X-ray during sacral nerve lead placement
This trial studies whether doctors can place a sacral neuromodulation lead using fewer X-rays. If you’re getting this procedure for overactive bladder, it may help reduce radiation exposure while still guiding correct lead placement.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18–89 - NCT04528446Recruiting
Study bone strength in people with kidney filtering disorders
This study looks at how kidney filtering problems (glomerular disorders) may affect bone quality and strength. It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk for weak bones and fractures and why.
New York, New YorkAges 5–55 - NCT04532606RecruitingPhase 4
Remimazolam to improve outcomes after bladder tumor surgery
This trial tests whether the anesthesia medicine remimazolam can improve recovery and longer-term outcomes after surgery for early-stage bladder cancer. If you are having a bladder tumor procedure through the urethra, this study may help doctors understand whether this anesthesia choice matters for prognosis.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–90 - NCT04543799Recruiting
Sleep quality study in prostate and early breast cancer patients
This trial studies how sleep quality changes while people with prostate cancer or early breast cancer receive standard treatments. It may help doctors understand which treatment factors affect sleep and identify who might benefit from support for sleep problems.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04545957Recruiting
Radiation planning study using MRI for adults with cancer
This trial tests a “master protocol” approach to use MRI (a detailed body scan) to help plan radiation treatment for people with cancer. It may help doctors customize radiation more accurately, depending on your specific cancer type.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04549688Recruiting
Active surveillance with focused ultrasound for prostate cancer
This trial studies whether a high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment can help people with localized prostate cancer while still avoiding traditional full-dose treatment for some patients. It may be an option for certain intermediate-risk cases where the cancer is confined to the prostate.
Tønsberg, VestfoldAges 18–80 - NCT04550845Recruiting
Study to teach genetics to men at risk for prostate cancer
This study aims to understand how men at higher risk for prostate cancer understand genetics terms, using an educational video. It may help improve patient education about genetic testing, especially for people who find these terms confusing.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 40–95 - NCT04556916Recruiting
Early prostate cancer screening with MRI before biopsy
This study is testing an approach to find prostate cancer earlier in men who may be at higher risk. If you fit the criteria, you may get an mpMRI scan before undergoing a prostate biopsy to check for cancer.
MontpellierAges 40 years+ - NCT04560907Recruiting
Aquablation versus laser procedure for enlarged prostate
This trial compares Aquablation with a laser procedure (HoLEP) to improve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged, non-cancer prostate. It may help you understand which treatment works better for symptom relief in men with medium-to-large prostates.
Sankt GallenAges 45 years+ - NCT04565795Recruiting
Temporary dissolvable ureter stent after uncomplicated ureteroscopy
This trial studies a temporary stent that is designed to dissolve in the ureter after a straightforward ureteroscopy to remove a kidney/ureter stone. The goal is to check safety and how well the device performs, and whether it can replace longer-lasting stents for some people.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21–80 - NCT04565925RecruitingPhase 2
Sildenafil to reduce urine leaks after spinal cord injury
This trial studies whether sildenafil (a prescription pill) can lessen urinary incontinence in adults with spinal cord injuries. If it works, it may reduce the number of urine leakage episodes each week.
College Station, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT04571658Recruiting
NEPTUNE Match study linking you to possible kidney research trials
This study is an add-on process that uses information from the NEPTUNE kidney study to see whether you might be able to join other kidney research trials. It may help connect eligible people with appropriate new treatment studies when they become available.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 1–80 - NCT04574960RecruitingPhase 3
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy before kidney/ureter cancer surgery
This Phase 3 trial studies giving cisplatin-based chemotherapy before surgery for certain newly diagnosed upper-urinary-tract urothelial cancers (kidney/ureter). It may help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes by treating microscopic disease earlier.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04580420RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an oxalate-lowering medicine for PH1 and kidney failure
This Phase 2 study tests a medicine called DCR-PHXC to lower body oxalate levels in people with PH1 who have advanced kidney failure. By lowering oxalate, the treatment may reduce harm from oxalate buildup and help researchers understand safety and effectiveness.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04580680Recruiting
Testing a blood-filter treatment in critically ill ICU patients
This study looks at an add-on blood-filter treatment used in the ICU to help remove harmful substances like waste products, inflammation signals, or toxins from the blood. Results may help doctors understand whether this approach improves care and how it should be used.
FlorenceAges Any age - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for TP53 Y220C-mutated advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests PC14586 (rezatapopt) in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that carry a specific TP53 mutation called Y220C. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment may work, sometimes combined with pembrolizumab.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04588168Recruiting
MRI helps guide bladder cancer treatment planning
This trial uses special MRI scans to help doctors choose precise treatment for bladder cancer before and/or around surgery. It may help tailor therapy more accurately while you receive standard bladder cancer care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT04590690Recruiting
Gut microbes and sex risks for kidney stones after weight surgery
This study looks at how gut bacteria (microbes), along with sex, may affect the chance of getting kidney stones after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk so prevention can be improved.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–130 - NCT04591990RecruitingPhase 3
Hydrocortisone and vasopressin for shock after cardiac arrest
This Phase 3 trial tests whether hydrocortisone plus vasopressin (or related hormone treatments) can improve shock in adults after a resuscitated cardiac arrest. It targets people who remain very low in blood pressure despite fluids and need strong IV medicines to maintain blood pressure.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04592640RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Amniotic stem cell treatment for calciphylaxis
This early-phase study tests a stem cell therapy made from amniotic (placenta) tissue for people with calciphylaxis. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether this treatment is safe and potentially helpful for this rare, painful condition.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT04595019Recruiting
Shorter faster radiation with hormone treatment for prostate cancer
This trial studies a more sped-up radiation schedule for men with certain local prostate cancers, given together with hormone therapy. It aims to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and making care easier.
Sutton, SurreyAges 18 years+ - NCT04605146Recruiting
Telemonitoring to manage side effects from immunotherapy
This trial tests whether using home digital monitoring (telemonitoring) can help people with melanoma, lung, or kidney (renal) cancer manage side effects while on immunotherapy. It may help catch side effects earlier and support you during treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab or nivolumab alone.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT04612907Recruiting
Radiation timing options for low-burden metastatic prostate cancer
This study compares different radiation schedules to the main prostate tumor in men with low-burden metastatic (spread) hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. It may help find a radiation timing approach that controls the cancer while balancing side effects.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT04615065Recruiting
Biobank study collecting emergency data for very sick patients
This study collects health and sometimes blood sample information from people arriving at the emergency department with high-risk or serious conditions. The goal is to build a large emergency “biobank” to help researchers better understand and improve urgent care.
