Pembrolizumab, drug EV, and radiation for bladder cancer
This Phase 2 study tests how well pembrolizumab and an antibody-drug medicine (EV) given with bladder radiation work for non-metastatic bladder cancer that is mostly urothelial. It may help some people control the cancer without it spreading to other organs.
Kobe, HyōgoAges 18 years+ - NCT06026189Recruiting
Reducing cystoscopy for blood in urine
This trial tests if we can safely skip a bladder camera test (cystoscopy) for people who have microscopic blood in their urine. If you meet certain criteria, you may not need the procedure.
RotterdamAges Any age - NCT06186414RecruitingPhase 1
SIM0237 with or without BCG for bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, SIM0237, alone or with BCG, for people with a type of bladder cancer called non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) that did not respond to BCG treatment. The goal is to see if it is safe and works against the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06269536Recruiting
Stress reduction program for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a stress-reducing program for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to see if lowering stress can help with treatment outcomes and quality of life.
BratislavaAges 18 years+ - NCT06341478Recruiting
Bladder Cancer Tissue Study in Muscle-Invasive Patients
This study looks at tumor and blood samples from people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer to find markers that help predict how the disease will progress. It aims to improve personalized treatment for those with this specific stage of bladder cancer.
Milan, MiAges 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06663137RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new treatment for high-grade bladder cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called NDV01 KIT for people with high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that hasn't gotten better after BCG therapy. It's for those who cannot or choose not to have their bladder removed.
RaananaAges 18–80 - NCT06682728RecruitingPhase 2
Treating high-risk bladder cancer after surgery
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (sacituzumab govitecan and nivolumab) given after surgery to prevent the return of muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It is for patients whose cancer has a high chance of coming back despite surgery.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06689176Recruiting
Chlorhexidine wash during bladder removal surgery
This trial tests a special antibacterial wash (chlorhexidine) applied to a piece of intestine used to create a new way for urine to leave the body after bladder removal. It aims to reduce infections and improve recovery.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06696794RecruitingPhase 3
Testing mitomycin before surgery for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests whether giving mitomycin directly into the bladder before surgery can help people with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective at preventing cancer from coming back.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT04564781Recruiting
Predicting how bladder cancer responds to BCG
