Recruiting studies
- NCT03973671Recruiting

Study of chemo, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy for bile duct and gallbladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy directly to the liver, a targeted therapy pill, and an immunotherapy drug for people with advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can shrink or control the cancer.
Tianjin, TiaAges 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.
Sun City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07037589Recruiting
Blood in urine in older women: is more testing needed?
This study looks at whether women over 50 with visible blood in their urine need extra tests after a bladder infection. It aims to find out if they need a camera test (cystoscopy) to check for cancer.

Bladder preservation trial for muscle-invasive bladder cancer with variant histology
This trial tests a bladder-sparing approach for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has a variant histology type. The goal is to avoid removing the bladder by using a combination of treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06022029RecruitingPhase 1
Study of injected ONM-501 alone or with cemiplimab for advanced cancers
This trial tests an injected study drug (ONM-501) alone or with another drug (cemiplimab) for people with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas that haven't responded to other treatments. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the combination helps shrink or control the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT06337084RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging test for solid tumors using MNPR-101-DFO*-89Zr
This study tests whether a new imaging agent, MNPR-101-DFO*-89Zr, can find solid tumors and measure their uPAR levels. It might help doctors better understand your cancer and guide future treatment decisions.
North Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06617169RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for solid tumors after prior study
This trial tests a new radioactive drug called MNPR-101-PCTA-177Lu for people with solid tumors who already completed a previous study (MNPR-101-D001). It aims to find the safest and most effective dose by carefully monitoring how your body handles the treatment.
North Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07728474Recruiting
Herbal supplement to prevent bladder cancer recurrence
This trial tests a herbal formula called LCS103 to see if it can help prevent bladder cancer from coming back after a tumor has been removed. It is for people with non-invasive bladder cancer that has been fully taken out by surgery.
HaifaAges 18 years+ - NCT07165236Recruiting
Bladder tumor surgery and memory changes study
This study looks at how bladder tumor surgery might affect thinking and memory. It checks blood markers to see if they are linked to any mental changes after the operation.
Osijek, CroatiaAges 18–80 - NCT06963346RecruitingPhase 1
Bladder cancer trial: targeted drug plus immunotherapy before surgery
This trial tests a combination of a targeted drug (HDAC inhibitor, given directly into the bladder) and an immunotherapy (Durvalumab, given through a vein) before bladder removal surgery. It's for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who cannot take the chemo drug cisplatin.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06388720RecruitingPhase 2
Two chemotherapy drugs for bladder cancer after BCG
This study tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, mitomycin-C and gemcitabine, given directly into the bladder for people with high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't been controlled with BCG therapy. It's an option for those who can't or don't want to have their bladder removed.
Goyang-siAges 20 years+ - NCT03740256RecruitingPhase 1
HER2-targeted oncolytic virus plus custom immune cells for solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment plan that combines a virus designed to attack cancer with your own custom immune cells that target HER2. It aims to shrink advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (and make future options safer/more effective).
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06703476RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery techniques study for bladder cancer
This trial compares two different surgical approaches during bladder removal surgery: using a stent or not, and using a drug called alvimopan or not. Alvimopan helps the bowels work normally after surgery.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 21 years+ - NCT07494864Recruiting

Study recovery after bladder removal surgery
This trial looks at how patients recover after radical cystectomy, a surgery that removes the bladder for bladder cancer. It will study recovery patterns to help understand what recovery may look like and possibly improve care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07077447Recruiting
Study on cancer in the upper urinary tract
This trial is for people diagnosed with a rare type of cancer in the upper urinary tract (UTUC). Researchers hope to learn more about this condition and find better ways to treat it.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06537154RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for bladder cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 374 recruiting bladder cancer studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a bladder cancer trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a bladder cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
