Gemcitabine and Mitomycin for High-Risk Upper Tract Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, gemcitabine and mitomycin, given directly into the kidney or ureter through a thin tube. It is for people with a high-risk but non-invasive form of upper urinary tract cancer that has not spread into deeper tissues.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18–99 - NCT01050504Recruiting
Donate blood and tissue to study recurrent or metastatic cancers
This study collects and studies blood and, when possible, small tissue samples from people with prostate or bladder/urothelial cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to better understand these cancers and support future research that may lead to better care.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07234968Recruiting
Stent vs no stent after bladder removal surgery
This study looks at whether leaving a small tube (ureteral stent) in place after bladder removal helps recovery. It compares people who get a stent to those who don't, focusing on problems like leaks or infections after surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - NCT07395037Recruiting
Study of emergency hospital stays for blood in urine
This study is looking at why people are admitted to the hospital as an emergency because of blood in their urine (hematuria). If you are being cared for by the urology team and stay for at least a day, you might be able to join.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06246448Recruiting
Robot vs open surgery for gallbladder cancer
This trial compares robot-assisted surgery to open surgery for people with gallbladder cancer that has been found after a gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which approach is better for the radical removal of remaining cancer.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06204614Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Drug screening for bladder cancer before surgery
This trial tests a tiny device placed into bladder tumors before surgery to see which drugs might work best for each patient, helping guide future treatment choices.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–120 - NCT05833867RecruitingPhase 1
Bladder cancer trial combining radiation and Sacituzumab
This Phase 1 study tests whether a new bladder-cancer treatment plan—radiation given at the same time as sacituzumab govitecan—can help people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer without starting with traditional chemo/radiation. Because it’s early-stage, the main goal is safety and learning the best way to use this combination to preserve the bladder.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06820255RecruitingPhase 4
DNA repair and platinum chemo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests how well platinum-based chemotherapy works in people with advanced bladder cancer that has certain DNA repair gene changes. It aims to see if these genetic markers can predict who benefits most from treatment.
RomeAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05621837Recruiting
Biomarker study to guide treatment for several advanced cancers
This study measures how strongly your immune system is being suppressed and uses that information to help personalize cancer treatment. It mainly looks at people with certain advanced cancers and needs tumor tissue and follow-up to check possible immune-related markers.
MilanAges 18–90 - NCT04900558Recruiting
Study outcomes after robotic bladder removal surgery
This trial follows adults who are planning to have a robotic radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder and surrounding tissue) to learn what outcomes to expect. If you choose to join and meet the basics, it may help your team compare results and improve care for future patients.
Florence, TuscanyAges 18 years+ - NCT04724928RecruitingPhase 2
PET-CT scan to guide bladder cancer treatment decisions
This Phase 2 study checks whether an FDG PET-CT scan can help doctors better predict bladder cancer risk and adjust treatment. You may still get standard bladder cancer care, but the study uses the scan results to help decide how aggressive treatment should be.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT07419295RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug for advanced bladder cancer
This trial is for people with advanced bladder cancer (urothelial cancer) that has spread or can't be removed. It tests a new drug called sacituzumab tirumotecan against standard chemotherapy options to see if it works better.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06763354Recruiting
Testing a new PET dye for bladder tumor imaging
This study tests a new type of PET scan dye to see how well it shows bladder tumors. It may help doctors get clearer images without needing extra biopsies.
ShanghaiAges 18–85 - NCT06878027Recruiting
Urine test for early bladder cancer detection
This study is testing a new, non-invasive urine test that looks for specific DNA changes (methylation patterns) to find bladder cancer early. If you have bladder cancer or are a healthy person willing to help, you may be able to join.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07204132Recruiting
Freezing and Immunotherapy for Bladder Cancer
This study tests a combination treatment for people with early-stage bladder cancer who want to avoid bladder removal. It uses a freezing technique (cryoablation) inside the bladder along with immunotherapy drugs to see if this can cure the cancer while keeping the bladder.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06960577RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative durvalumab with chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to standard chemotherapy before and after bladder removal surgery can improve outcomes for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to see if this combination is more effective than chemotherapy alone.
ChermsideAges 18 years+ - NCT06364956RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing new drug combo for bladder cancer before surgery
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (Tislelizumab and Palbociclib) given before bladder removal surgery. It is for people with bladder cancer that has a specific genetic change and who cannot take the standard chemotherapy cisplatin.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06341400RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination drug treatment before bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests two drugs (RC48 and toripalimab) given before bladder cancer surgery for patients who cannot take the standard chemotherapy due to kidney problems or other reasons. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06833073RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an mRNA vaccine and BCG for bladder cancer
This trial tests an experimental mRNA vaccine (V940) combined with BCG therapy for people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to see if the vaccine can help the immune system better fight the cancer.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05521698RecruitingPhase 1
Bicalutamide for early-stage bladder cancer
This trial tests whether the drug bicalutamide can help men with early-stage (non-invasive) bladder cancer, which has not grown into the bladder muscle. It is given before surgery to see if it can reduce the chance of the cancer coming back. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive bicalutamide or a placebo before their scheduled surgery.
