Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07359235RecruitingPhase 1
KD01 for bladder cancer: a safety and early efficacy trial
This trial tests a new drug called KD01, which is given directly into the bladder through a catheter (intravesical instillation) for bladder cancer. It aims to see if the drug is safe and tolerable, and if it may help slow or stop the cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT00026884Recruiting
Blood and tissue sample collection for cancer research
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancer or suspected cancer, or from their blood relatives. Researchers use these samples to better understand cancer and develop new treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT06465069RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced bladder and other solid tumors
This study tests a new drug (LY4052031) for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially bladder cancer. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective when given alone or after other treatments have stopped working.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04075305Recruiting
Study measuring radiation treatment outcomes with an MR-Linac
This study follows what happens when radiation treatment is guided using an MR-Linac (a special machine that combines MRI imaging with radiation). It may help improve how radiation therapy is planned and assessed, especially for people who can safely have MRI scans.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04197414Recruiting
Urology DNA registry to personalize cancer care
This study builds a urology cancer “DNA registry” by analyzing circulating tumor DNA found in the blood. Your information and permission help researchers better personalize treatment for cancers like prostate, kidney, bladder, and ureter cancer.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT04625556Recruiting
Urology cancer registry study using body microbiome data
This study builds a patient registry for prostate, kidney, bladder, and ureter cancers by analyzing your body’s microbiome (the microbes living in/ on the body). It may help doctors personalize care in the future, and your participation mainly involves allowing your medical and related information to be used for research.
