Recruiting studies
- NCT05987241RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Using a blood test to guide immunotherapy after bladder/kidney cancer surgery
This study tests whether a blood test that detects tumor DNA can help guide the use of immunotherapy (nivolumab with or without relatlimab) after surgery for urothelial cancer. The goal is to see if starting immunotherapy based on the blood test results can prevent the cancer from coming back.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06257017RecruitingPhase 2
Using DNA tests to guide chemotherapy after bladder cancer surgery
This trial checks if a DNA blood test can help decide who needs extra chemo after bladder or upper urinary tract cancer surgery. It tests whether watching for cancer DNA in the blood can match patients to the right treatment.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–70 - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05037279RecruitingPhase 3
Testing BCG treatment for bladder cancer after full tumor removal
This trial studies a BCG-based bladder instillation in people with newly diagnosed, intermediate- or high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who have had their tumor fully removed. The goal is to see whether this treatment is safer and works better to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05312671RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus chemo for small cell bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a drug called atezolizumab combined with chemotherapy (etoposide and a platinum drug) can shrink or control small cell bladder cancer. It may help by boosting the immune system against the cancer while the chemotherapy treats fast-growing cancer cells.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05756569RecruitingPhase 2
Enfortumab plus pembrolizumab for advanced bladder cancer variants
This trial studies enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) for people with advanced bladder cancer that has a “variant” or non-urothelial subtype. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes when standard options have not worked or are no longer enough.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06091124RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for neuroendocrine bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) with two chemotherapy drugs (etoposide and cisplatin) given before surgery for a rare, aggressive type of bladder cancer called neuroendocrine carcinoma. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06161532RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab govitecan with or without atezolizumab for rare GU cancers
This trial is testing a drug called sacituzumab govitecan, sometimes combined with atezolizumab (an immunotherapy), for rare cancers of the bladder, urinary tract, kidney, or penis. The goal is to see if these treatments work well for people whose cancers have not responded to other options.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06167356Recruiting
Bladder cancer relapse and quality of life study after TURBT
This study tracks patients with early-stage bladder cancer after surgery (TURBT) to see how often the cancer returns and how it affects your daily life.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06170177Recruiting
Life after bladder removal surgery study
This study looks at how people feel and their health after having their bladder removed. It aims to understand quality of life after this surgery.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06263153RecruitingPhase 2
Futibatinib and durvalumab before bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests two drugs (futibatinib and durvalumab) given before bladder removal surgery for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who cannot take standard cisplatin chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06733363RecruitingPhase 2
Vegetable diet to prevent bladder cancer return
This trial tests whether a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower, and kale) can help prevent bladder cancer from coming back or getting worse. It is for people with early-stage, non-invasive bladder cancer who live in New York State.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06764095RecruitingPhase 4
Drug combo before bladder or ureter surgery for advanced cancer
This trial tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, given before surgery to remove the bladder or ureter in people with advanced bladder or upper urinary tract cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the cancer and improves outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06823427RecruitingPhase 2
9MW2821 with or without immunotherapy for advanced urothelial cancer
This trial tests a combination of an investigational drug (9MW2821) with an immunotherapy (toripalimab) against 9MW2821 alone for people with advanced urothelial cancer who have not yet received any systemic treatment. The goal is to see if the combination works better than the single drug.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT07087860RecruitingPhase 2
Plasma exchange plus targeted therapy for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a procedure called therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) combined with the drugs enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab for people with advanced bladder cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if TPE helps the drugs work better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07234968Recruiting
Stent vs no stent after bladder removal surgery
This study looks at whether leaving a small tube (ureteral stent) in place after bladder removal helps recovery. It compares people who get a stent to those who don't, focusing on problems like leaks or infections after surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - NCT07285044RecruitingPhase 2
Home cancer treatment program for Florida panhandle residents
