T3011 for bladder cancer not responding to standard treatments
This trial tests a drug called T3011 for a type of bladder cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments like BCG or chemotherapy. It aims to see if T3011 can help shrink the cancer or keep it from growing, offering a new option for people who have limited choices.
Queen Creek, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06879145RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of SHR-A2102 and Adebrelimab for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, SHR-A2102 and Adebrelimab, for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05123625Recruiting
Testing lymph node removal during bladder cancer surgery
This study looks at whether removing nearby lymph nodes during radical cystectomy (bladder removal) improves outcomes for people with high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help doctors choose the best surgical approach to reduce the chance of cancer coming back.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06671418Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Stenting vs drainage for blocked bile ducts from cancer
This study compares two ways to open blocked bile ducts near the liver due to cancer that cannot be removed. One method uses a stent placed through the skin (percutaneous stenting), and the other uses a tube placed through a scope (endoscopic drainage). The goal is to see which approach works better for relieving jaundice and improving quality of life.
RotterdamAges Any age - 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 - 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.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05879653RecruitingPhase 2
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+ - NCT05783271Recruiting
MRI test accuracy for suspected bladder cancer
This study checks how accurate a specific MRI measurement method is for people who may have bladder cancer. It may help doctors choose the best way to confirm or rule out cancer using MRI.
Asyut, AssuitAges Any age - NCT05792722Recruiting
Testing a prostate-sparing bladder surgery for bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a “prostate-sparing” radical cystectomy is safe and effective for bladder cancer patients who are having surgery. It aims to see if this approach can treat bladder cancer while reducing prostate-related side effects.
