Annapolis, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06511141Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for men with overactive bladder
This study tests a nerve stimulation device placed near the tailbone to help men with overactive bladder symptoms. If you have bothersome urinary urgency or frequency, this treatment may offer relief without drugs.
Annapolis, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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.
Largo, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04235764Recruiting
Testing a new bladder-tumor surgery tool for removed tissue
This trial studies a redesigned surgical instrument used during bladder tumor removal, to see if it can improve how the removed tissue samples are collected. It may help future patients by supporting better study of bladder tissue during cancer care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00026884Recruiting
Blood and tissue sample collection for cancer research
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancer or suspected cancer, or from their blood relatives. Researchers use these samples to better understand cancer and develop new treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT05521698RecruitingPhase 1
Bicalutamide study for early bladder cancer in men
This trial tests whether bicalutamide can help men with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (an early form that hasn’t spread into muscle). It is a Phase 1 study, meaning the main goal is to see how safe it is and learn how it behaves in the body for this cancer type.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06503146RecruitingPhase 2
New imaging tracer for detecting various cancers
This trial tests a new imaging agent, [18F]FAPI-74, which might help detect certain cancers more clearly. The scan looks for a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP) that is often found in tumors. If you have one of the listed cancers and are about to start treatment, this study could help doctors see where the cancer is and how it responds to therapy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06995898Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test that may help find cancer early. You will give blood samples over a year, and researchers will check them for signs of cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 45–75 - NCT06228066RecruitingPhase 2
Lurbinectedin with or without avelumab for small cell bladder cancer
This clinical trial tests a drug called lurbinectedin, given alone or with avelumab (an immunotherapy), for people with small cell bladder cancer or similar high-grade neuroendocrine tumors that have spread. The goal is to see if combining these drugs helps shrink or control the cancer better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04923178Recruiting
Natural history study of bladder and other genital cancers
This study follows people with urothelial cancer and certain rare genital (genitourinary) cancers over time to learn how these diseases progress. It may help researchers understand patterns of symptoms and outcomes, even if it is not a drug trial.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06041503RecruitingPhase 2
Treating rare bladder and testicular cancers with targeted therapy
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) for people with certain rare cancers of the urinary tract or testicles. The goal is to see if these treatments can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00001823Recruiting
Surgery Branch Screening for Cancer Treatment Studies
This is a screening evaluation to see if you might be eligible for cancer treatment research studies at the National Cancer Institute's Surgery Branch. Doctors will review your medical history, imaging, and test results to determine which clinical trials might be right for you.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02379429Recruiting
Collecting bladder/urothelial cancer tissue for future research
This study looks at urothelial cancer (often bladder cancer) samples taken during diagnosis or standard treatment. It may help researchers better understand the disease by using tissue that doctors already need to collect for care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06161532RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab govitecan with or without atezolizumab for rare GU cancers
This trial is testing a drug called sacituzumab govitecan, sometimes combined with atezolizumab (an immunotherapy), for rare cancers of the bladder, urinary tract, kidney, or penis. The goal is to see if these treatments work well for people whose cancers have not responded to other options.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05672615Recruiting
Mood changes during bladder cancer treatment with BCG
This study looks at how bladder cancer treatment with BCG may affect mood and emotional well-being. It may help doctors understand which patients experience mood changes during care.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07277413RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IDE892 for advanced solid tumors with MTAP deletion
This study tests a new drug called IDE892, alone or in combination, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic change (MTAP deletion). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and whether it can shrink tumors.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07327489Recruiting
