Recruiting studies near Austin
- NCT07129993RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of datopotamab deruxtecan with chemo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial is testing a new drug combination for advanced bladder cancer that has grown despite previous treatment. It pairs a targeted therapy (datopotamab deruxtecan) with chemotherapy, and the goal is to see if it can slow down or stop the cancer better than standard chemo alone.

Study of MK-3120 for bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, MK-3120, for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle. It is for patients who either haven't had BCG treatment before or have had BCG treatment and their cancer came back more than 12 months but within 2 years after the last dose.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07318051Recruiting
Sample collection for cancer research study
This study collects blood and tumor tissue samples from patients with certain untreated cancers to help researchers develop and improve tests. You may be eligible if you have one of the listed cancer types and have not yet started treatment.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07480356RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new bladder cancer treatment (TARA-002) vs standard chemo
This trial compares a new medicine called TARA-002, given directly into the bladder, to the doctor's choice of standard chemotherapy. It is for people with a high-grade, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that has not been treated with BCG or has not had BCG recently.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07566156RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combination vs. radiation for bladder cancer preservation
This trial tests whether two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) work better than radiation with chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to treat your cancer while keeping your bladder instead of removing it.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07725796RecruitingPhase 1
Study of UGN-501 for recurrent bladder cancer
This study tests an experimental medicine called UGN-501 given directly into the bladder. It is for people whose bladder cancer has come back despite previous treatments, such as BCG therapy. The goal is to find the best dose and see how safe and effective it is.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05951179RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder instillation study for high-grade non–muscle-invasive cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests TARA-002 given directly into the bladder to treat high-grade non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer with active disease. It may help patients who have not previously responded to, or have not received, BCG treatment in the recent past.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06919965RecruitingPhase 3
TAR-210 vs. standard bladder chemo for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial compares a new drug called TAR-210, given directly into the bladder, to standard chemotherapy for people with a specific type of high-risk bladder cancer that has not invaded muscle. It tests if TAR-210 can be more effective with fewer side effects.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07673016Recruiting
Collecting urine to test a new bladder cancer detection method
This study collects urine samples to test UroAmp, a new genetic test that may help detect and monitor bladder cancer. It is for people with bladder cancer or blood in urine who want to help improve cancer detection.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07763197Recruiting
Sample collection for bladder cancer research
This study is collecting blood, urine, and tissue samples from people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer to help develop better tests for tracking the disease. By participating, you might help improve future monitoring and treatment decisions.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06319820RecruitingPhase 3
TAR-210 vs standard bladder chemo for FGFR-mutated bladder cancer
This trial compares a new drug, TAR-210, which is placed directly into the bladder, against standard chemotherapy given through a catheter. It is for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that has a change in the FGFR gene.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.
Austin, TexasAges 40 years+ - NCT06995677RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TYRA-300 for bladder cancer that has not spread into muscle
This trial tests a new pill, TYRA-300, for people with a certain type of early-stage bladder cancer that has a specific genetic change (FGFR3). The goal is to see if it can help by targeting the cancer cells and possibly avoiding more invasive treatments.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Studying a new drug for cancers with a specific TP53 change
This trial tests a new drug (rezatapopt) for people with advanced cancers that have a specific change in the TP53 gene, called Y220C. The drug is designed to target this change and may slow or stop cancer growth. Some participants may also receive an immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda).
Austin, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT06545955RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy study for high-grade bladder cancer not responding to BCG
This trial tests a gene therapy called nadofaragene firadenovec, given directly into the bladder, either alone or with chemo or immunotherapy. It's for people with high-grade bladder cancer that hasn't gone away after BCG treatment.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06567743RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new virus therapy for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new virus-based medicine, cretostimogene grenadenorepvec, given directly into the bladder for people with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back, especially for those who have not had BCG treatment or whose cancer did not respond to BCG.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04752722RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for bladder cancer that came back after BCG
This study tests a new gene therapy (EG-70) given directly into the bladder for people with a high-risk bladder cancer called NMIBC. It may be an option if BCG treatment stopped working, or if you cannot have or choose not to have bladder removal surgery.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06253871RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IAM1363 for HER2 Cancers
This trial tests a new oral drug called IAM1363 for people with HER2-altered cancers that have stopped responding to previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works against these cancers.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07475806RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder-sparing drug combo for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This study tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, to see if they can help people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer avoid removing their bladder. The drugs are given before the standard surgery to possibly shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.

What taking part in a bladder cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
