SL-28 for advanced solid tumors that haven’t responded to treatment
This trial tests a new drug, SL-28, for people with advanced solid tumors that haven’t responded to or cannot be treated with standard therapies. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug can help shrink or slow the growth of your cancer.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07339761Recruiting
Sexual health support for bladder cancer patients
This study from the University of Aarhus looks at ways to support sexual health in people who have been treated for bladder cancer. If you are a Danish-speaking adult who had bladder cancer treatment about a year ago and have noticed changes in sexual function, you may be able to join.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07318051Recruiting
Sample collection for cancer research study
This study collects blood and tumor tissue samples from patients with certain untreated cancers to help researchers develop and improve tests. You may be eligible if you have one of the listed cancer types and have not yet started treatment.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07322263RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine and docetaxel for bladder cancer that returned after BCG
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and docetaxel) given directly into the bladder to treat high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has come back or not responded to BCG therapy. It's for people who cannot or choose not to have their bladder removed.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - NCT07302230Recruiting
Home exercise app for bladder cancer patients
This trial tests whether a home-based physical activity program using a smartphone app helps people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer become more active compared to a health education group. It's designed for those who are not very active and want to improve their health.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06735287Recruiting
Bladder-sparing treatment for large bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to treat large, non-invasive bladder cancer before and after surgery. It aims to avoid removing the bladder while still effectively treating the cancer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06595446Recruiting
Timing of stent removal after bladder cancer surgery
This study looks at whether removing a small tube (stent) placed during bladder surgery earlier or later helps recovery. It is for patients having a specific type of bladder removal surgery that creates a new way for urine to leave the body.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07225205Recruiting
Home IV fluids after bladder removal surgery
