AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT06851663RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New PET scan for many solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special antibody to find a marker called Trop2 on many common solid tumors. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly without needing a biopsy.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07119996RecruitingPhase 1
Vitamin B3 to boost immunotherapy for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether taking vitamin B3 can help immunotherapy work better for people with bladder cancer. It’s for patients who have a certain type of bladder cancer and have had a recent infection that needed antibiotics.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04947059RecruitingPhase 3
Stop bladder cancer coming back with medicine after bladder surgery
This trial tests whether putting chemotherapy medicine directly into the bladder right after surgery helps prevent bladder cancer from coming back. It compares gemcitabine versus epirubicin given as an immediate bladder “wash-in.”
Larissa, Larissa/ThessalyAges 18–100 - NCT05337397Recruiting
Outpatient laser treatment for repeat low-grade bladder tumors
This trial tests an outpatient laser procedure to remove recurring low-grade, non-solid bladder tumors. It may help prevent or control tumor growth with treatment done outside the hospital, if you meet the tumor and health criteria.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07749924Recruiting
Watchful waiting vs. bladder chemotherapy for intermediate-risk bladder cancer
This study compares two approaches for people with intermediate-risk bladder cancer whose urine shows no signs of cancer after surgery. One group will be watched closely (active surveillance), while the other will receive chemotherapy directly into the bladder (intravesical chemotherapy). The goal is to see if surveillance alone can prevent unnecessary treatment while keeping the cancer controlled.
DaqingAges 18 years+ - NCT06662071Recruiting
Personalized bladder cancer treatment using organoid drug testing
This trial tests if using a patient's own tumor cells grown in a lab (organoids) can help choose the best chemotherapy to put directly into the bladder. It is for people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who need their first round of this treatment.
Binzhou, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07379268Recruiting
Anti-HER2 drug for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests an antibody-drug conjugate that targets HER2 in people with advanced bladder cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It is for patients whose cancer has not responded to or stopped responding to platinum-based chemotherapy.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07379255Recruiting
Organoid test to guide chemo after bladder cancer surgery
This trial uses a lab-grown version of your tumor (an organoid) to see which chemotherapy might work best for you after bladder cancer surgery. It helps doctors choose the most effective treatment for each person.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07206225RecruitingPhase 1
Study of PF-08052667 in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a new study medicine called PF-08052667 for people with a certain type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle. It's for those who have already tried BCG treatment and can't or won't have their bladder removed.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07187063Recruiting
Using urine tests to reduce checkups for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether monitoring urine tumor DNA can safely reduce how often patients need invasive cystoscopy checkups after initial treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07144319Recruiting
AI-assisted blue light cystoscopy for bladder cancer
This study tests a new AI tool that helps doctors see bladder tumors better during a blue light cystoscopy. You may be eligible if you are scheduled for this procedure and your doctor has prescribed a special dye (Hexvix or Cysview) to use during it.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07122414RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for bladder cancer that resists BCG
This trial tests a new drug (FL115) given directly into the bladder, alone or with BCG, for people with a type of bladder cancer that has not responded to BCG therapy. It aims to find a better treatment option for those who cannot have or refuse bladder removal surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06545955RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy study for high-grade bladder cancer not responding to BCG
This trial tests a gene therapy called nadofaragene firadenovec, given directly into the bladder, either alone or with chemo or immunotherapy. It's for people with high-grade bladder cancer that hasn't gone away after BCG treatment.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06427824Recruiting
Health tests for older adults with bladder cancer before bladder removal
This study looks at how a series of health tests (called a comprehensive geriatric assessment) can help doctors plan care for older adults with bladder cancer who are having their bladder removed. The goal is to improve recovery and quality of life.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 65 years+ - NCT06245603Recruiting
Testing Hydeal Cyst with standard treatment for bladder cancer
This study tests a bladder instillation called Hydeal Cyst, given alongside standard BCG or MMC therapy, to see if it helps reduce side effects or improve outcomes for people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT05951179RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder instillation study for high-grade non–muscle-invasive cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests TARA-002 given directly into the bladder to treat high-grade non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer with active disease. It may help patients who have not previously responded to, or have not received, BCG treatment in the recent past.
Homewood, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05710848RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for repeat bladder tumor surgery patients
This trial tests STM-416, given around the time you have surgery to remove recurring bladder tumors, to see if it can reduce the chance the cancer comes back. It is for people with high-risk early bladder cancer (non–muscle-invasive) who have already had standard treatment and now need another TURBT.
Mesa, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05656235RecruitingPhase 2
Study of keeping kidneys longer in upper tract bladder cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a combination treatment can control high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer without removing the kidney and ureter (radical nephroureterectomy). It may help people who must avoid surgery or choose not to have it because of medical risk.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05327647RecruitingPhase 2
Bicalutamide with BCG for bladder cancer after BCG treatment
This trial studies whether bicalutamide can improve outcomes for people with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are starting BCG through the bladder. It may help prevent cancer from coming back or progressing after BCG.
