Enfortumab vedotin for advanced penile cancer
This trial tests a drug called enfortumab vedotin for people with advanced penile cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06109493Recruiting
Psychological support for kidney dialysis patients
This trial tests a type of talk therapy (ACT) to see if it helps patients on dialysis feel better emotionally. It may be a good fit if you're on dialysis, feeling distressed, and not taking antidepressants.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06109857Recruiting
Bladder Bank: Collecting samples for research
This study collects urine and tissue samples from people being checked for blood in their urine (hematuria) to build a 'bladder bank' for future research. By donating samples, you help scientists learn more about bladder conditions and improve diagnosis.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06110130RecruitingPhase 4
Empagliflozin for kidney health in African American veterans
This study is testing whether the drug empagliflozin (Jardiance) can help protect the kidneys of African American veterans who already have some kidney damage but do not have diabetes. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce damage at the cellular level.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 19–90 - NCT06111313RecruitingPhase 2
Prostate cancer trial testing targeted radiation with hormone therapy
This trial tests a new radiation approach for prostate cancer that has not spread. It combines different types of radiation with or without hormone therapy to see if this approach works better with fewer side effects.
Miami, FloridaAges 35–85 - NCT06111885RecruitingPhase 2
Study of two diuretics to prevent kidney stones
This trial tests two diuretics (indapamide and chlorthalidone) to see if they reduce the risk of forming new calcium kidney stones. It may help people who have had at least two calcium-based kidney stones in the past 10 years.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06112990RecruitingPhase 3
Creatine and exercise to keep muscles strong in prostate cancer
This trial tests if taking creatine plus doing resistance exercises at home can help men with prostate cancer maintain muscle mass and slow cancer growth. You would take creatine or a placebo for 52 weeks and do simple strength exercises twice a week.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06115083Recruiting
Pelvic floor training for men with chronic pelvic pain
This trial tests if pelvic floor muscle training can reduce chronic pelvic pain in men. It also looks at how well patient-reported symptoms match physical exam findings.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06116019Recruiting
Online adaptive radiotherapy for cancer patients
This trial tests a new radiation therapy machine that adjusts the radiation plan in real-time based on changes in your body. It may help make treatment more precise and reduce side effects.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06116851Recruiting
Prostate health, gut bacteria, and cancer risk
This study looks at how your gut bacteria and prostate health may be connected to cancer risk. It may help find new ways to predict or prevent prostate cancer.
TurkuAges 18 years+ - NCT06117059Recruiting
Precision study: 3 session prostate radiation with special guidance
This trial tests a new way to give prostate radiation using just 3 sessions with a special guidance system (RayPilot HypoCath) to target the tumor more accurately and safely.
EdinburghAges Any age - NCT06121297RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CABA-201 for active lupus
This trial tests a new treatment called CABA-201, which is a type of immune cell therapy (CAR T cells) for people with active lupus. The goal is to see if it's safe and can help control lupus symptoms.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06122584RecruitingPhase 3
PSMA PET scan for high-risk prostate cancer before surgery
This trial tests if a special PET scan using PSMA-1007 can find prostate cancer spread in men who have just been diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer and plan to have surgery. The scan may help doctors better understand the cancer before removing the prostate and lymph nodes.
NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT06125405RecruitingPhase 3
Telitacicept for children with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome
This trial tests a new drug called telitacicept to help children whose nephrotic syndrome keeps coming back often or who need steroids to stay in remission. The goal is to see if it can keep urine protein levels low and reduce relapses.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 2–18 - NCT06128278RecruitingPhase 2
Equol supplement and blood vessel health in women
This study tests whether taking an Equol supplement (a soy-related compound) improves blood vessel function in postmenopausal women with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). It could help women with or without early-stage CKD learn if this supplement supports heart health.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 50–69 - NCT06135311Recruiting
TENS treatment for bedwetting in children
This study tests whether a gentle electrical nerve stimulation device (TENS) can help children who wet the bed at least once a week despite trying behavioral changes. It may be an option if your child hasn't used other treatments like medication or nerve stimulation.
Albany, New YorkAges 5–17 - NCT06138080Recruiting
Comparing two imaging tests for reflux in children with UTIs
This study compares two types of imaging tests—a special ultrasound and a nuclear medicine scan—to see which is better at finding reflux (backward flow of urine) in young children who have had repeated UTIs. The goal is to find a safer, more accurate way to diagnose the condition.

A study of a new drug for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a radioactive drug called Lu 177 JH020002 for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. The drug targets a protein on cancer cells to deliver radiation directly, possibly slowing the disease.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06141993Recruiting
Study of blood markers in hormone therapy resistance for prostate cancer
This study is for men with advanced prostate cancer that stopped responding to one hormone therapy and will be starting another. Researchers will collect blood samples to look for markers that might explain why the resistance happens.

Dara-CyBorD for New Multiple Myeloma with Kidney Failure
This pilot study tests a combination of four drugs (daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone, known as Dara-CyBorD) in people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who also have kidney problems. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for this specific group.
