Recruiting studies in Tennessee
- NCT06172478RecruitingPhase 2
HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07061964RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation to save the bladder
This trial tests whether combining immunotherapy and low-dose radiation after chemotherapy can help you avoid bladder removal. It's for people whose muscle-invasive bladder cancer has shrunk significantly after initial treatment.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 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.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 40–75 - NCT07124000Recruiting
T-DXd for advanced HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial is for people with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (cancers that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread). It tests the drug T-DXd (also called Enhertu) when your doctor has already decided it's the right treatment for you and you have no other good options.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–130 - 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 40 years+ - NCT07097142RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation for bladder cancer with chemo
This trial tests if a shorter course of radiation therapy works as well as the usual longer course for people with bladder cancer who are also receiving standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if shorter treatment can reduce side effects while still being effective.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07225127Recruiting
Bladder cancer treatment: therapy vs. surgery
This study compares two standard treatments for high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has come back after initial treatment: medication placed directly into the bladder (intravesical therapy) or bladder removal surgery (cystectomy). The goal is to see which option works better for patients like you.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 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.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06465069RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced bladder and other solid tumors
This study tests a new drug (LY4052031) for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially bladder cancer. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective when given alone or after other treatments have stopped working.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - 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.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 12 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - 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.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07206225RecruitingPhase 1
Study of PF-08052667 in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a new study medicine called PF-08052667 for people with a certain type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle. It's for those who have already tried BCG treatment and can't or won't have their bladder removed.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 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.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03945162RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder cancer trial using light therapy in the bladder
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment called photodynamic therapy (PDT) placed directly into the bladder. It may help people whose non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer did not respond to BCG treatment or could not tolerate it.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06510374RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy vs. observation for intermediate risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new gene therapy called nadofaragene firadenovec versus just watching and waiting (observation) for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that hasn't grown into the muscle. The goal is to see if the gene therapy can help keep the cancer from coming back.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07218003Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Study of RNDO-564 alone or with pembrolizumab for bladder cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug, RNDO-564, either by itself or combined with another drug (pembrolizumab), for people with advanced bladder cancer or other solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06778863RecruitingPhase 1
A study of CLSP-1025 for adults with certain solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called CLSP-1025 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific change in the p53 gene (R175H). The drug targets this change to help fight the cancer.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 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.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 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.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 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.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.

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.
