Study of surgery outcomes for prostate enlargement
This study looks at how well surgery works for an enlarged prostate (“benign prostatic hyperplasia”) and which care factors affect results. It may help improve future treatment planning and outcomes for people in Hong Kong.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05295407Recruiting
Testing a risk assessment to predict prostate cancer on biopsy
This trial studies whether a risk assessment can better predict who actually has prostate cancer based on information collected around the biopsy. It may help doctors decide what biopsy findings mean for people with certain PSA (a blood test) results.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 40–69 - NCT05297331Recruiting
Kidney stone registry for adults who can consent
This trial is a global registry that collects information about people treated for kidney stones. It helps researchers learn about patterns of care and outcomes so treatments can improve over time.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05297734Recruiting
Study compares two cancer support care plans
This study tests two different ways of providing supportive care for adults with cancer to see which one works better. It may help improve comfort, support, and care coordination during treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05300308Recruiting
Studying leg swelling and nighttime urination after pelvic node surgery
This trial looks at why some people develop leg swelling (lymphedema) and frequent nighttime urination (nocturia) after pelvic lymph node surgery for prostate or bladder cancer. It may help doctors better predict and manage these side effects after the operation.
Leuven, FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT05304858Recruiting
Study of prostate cancer spread using biopsy and lab tests
This trial studies the “microenvironment” around prostate cancer metastases, using specimens taken during biopsy and other scans. It may help researchers understand what drives prostate cancer spread and improve future treatment choices.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05312671RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus chemo for small cell bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a drug called atezolizumab combined with chemotherapy (etoposide and a platinum drug) can shrink or control small cell bladder cancer. It may help by boosting the immune system against the cancer while the chemotherapy treats fast-growing cancer cells.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05313945Recruiting
Compare comfort after passive vs active catheter removal
This study tests which method of removing an in-place urinary (bladder) catheter is more satisfying and comfortable for patients after certain urologic procedures. If you qualify, you may be randomly assigned to one of two removal approaches and asked about your experience.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT05313191Recruiting
Proton therapy for tumors after prior radiation
This study looks at whether a type of proton beam treatment can be given safely and effectively to tumors that have already been treated with radiation before. It may help people whose tumors came back or persisted after earlier radiation, using a specific proton method called pencil beam scanning.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05313815Recruiting
Test a stronger prostate radiation boost for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial studies whether giving a moderate “boost” dose of radiation to the prostate—along with radiation to the pelvic area—can better control high-risk localized prostate cancer. You may benefit if you have high-risk disease and can safely receive radiation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05315141Recruiting
Study of AAV in people with ANCA-associated vasculitis
This study follows people with ANCA-associated vasculitis to better understand the treatment using AAV. Your participation would mainly involve agreeing to be in the study and meeting the study’s disease criteria.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT05318196Recruiting
Predict kidney disease risk and progression from patient data
This trial looks at ways to predict how kidney disease may develop, change, or cause complications using information from patients. It may help doctors identify people at higher risk and tailor care earlier.
ToulouseAges 18–99 - NCT05319015RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab before kidney surgery for IVC tumor
This trial studies lenvatinib and pembrolizumab given before surgery to treat kidney cancer that has grown into a large vein (the IVC) near the liver or heart. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor thrombus and make treatment and surgery more effective and safer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05321368Recruiting
Program to help control blood pressure and support health equity
This study tests a program that combines clinic care, community support, and phone-based monitoring to help people better manage blood pressure and related health problems. It aims to reduce health differences between groups that have been affected more by preventable disease.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05324332Recruiting
Two scans to study prostate cancer in the same group
This trial looks at prostate cancer patients who have not started treatment yet and have two different PET/CT scans close together. It may help doctors compare how these scans show prostate cancer in the body.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT05325008RecruitingPhase 3
IVIG treatment for BK virus after kidney transplant
This Phase 3 trial tests IVIG (an antibody medicine given through a vein) to treat BK virus infection after kidney or pancreas-kidney transplant. It may help lower the BK virus in the blood and protect the transplanted kidney.
Canberra, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 2 years+ - NCT05326399Recruiting
Kidney biopsies after liver transplant for new kidney problems
This trial studies kidney biopsies in people who had a liver transplant and then developed new signs of kidney damage. The goal is to better understand what’s causing the problem and how to guide next steps.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05326620Recruiting
Renal cancer patients join a Dutch research kidney study
This study enrolls people newly diagnosed with kidney cancer (including when it has spread) to help build research resources for future kidney cancer care. If you qualify, your information may be used to better understand outcomes and improve treatments.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05327686RecruitingPhase 2
Adding focused radiation to immunotherapy for kidney cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding focused, high-precision radiation to immunotherapy helps people with advanced kidney cancer (that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread). It aims to improve cancer control by combining two treatment approaches.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05327647RecruitingPhase 2
Bicalutamide with BCG for bladder cancer after BCG treatment
This trial studies whether bicalutamide can improve outcomes for people with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are starting BCG through the bladder. It may help prevent cancer from coming back or progressing after BCG.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05329532RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Modi-1 cancer vaccine for several hard-to-treat cancers
This Phase 1/2 study tests a cancer vaccine called Modi-1 Moditope in people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer, head and neck cancer, ovarian/high-grade serous cancer, or kidney cancer. It aims to help the immune system better recognize and attack the cancer.
Brighton, DefaultAges 18 years+ - NCT05328505Recruiting
Imaging-guided radiation for prostate cancer that came back
This trial tests whether a special scan (PSMA PET) can help doctors aim and adjust radiation more precisely when prostate cancer returns after surgery. It may help by increasing dose to areas that look involved while lowering dose to uninvolved pelvic areas.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05328999Recruiting
Study links fertility, pregnancy loss, and gut microbes
This trial studies how gut bacteria (your “microbiome”) may relate to infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and time to pregnancy. It may help researchers understand what could be changed to improve fertility outcomes.
Graz, StyriaAges 18–50 - NCT05329883Recruiting
Testing infection risk after urinary stent removal
This study looks at urinary tract infections that can happen after a stent is removed. It will compare approaches around stent removal to see how to lower the chance of infection afterward.
