Recruiting studies
- NCT06138561Recruiting
Bladder cancer treatment study for older adults
This study looks at how well different treatments work for older adults with bladder cancer that has spread and who cannot take cisplatin. It also checks if geriatric assessments help guide care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 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+ - NCT06770582RecruitingPhase 2
Adding immunotherapy to radiation for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to radiation therapy works as well as or better than the usual chemotherapy given with radiation for a type of bladder cancer that has not invaded the muscle. It is for people whose cancer came back or has high-risk features and who would otherwise need to have their bladder removed.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07067749RecruitingPhase 3
MRI-guided treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer
This trial uses advanced MRI scanning to guide treatment decisions for muscle invasive bladder cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by personalizing therapy based on detailed imaging.
Rome, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT05833867RecruitingPhase 1
Bladder cancer trial combining radiation and Sacituzumab
This Phase 1 study tests whether a new bladder-cancer treatment plan—radiation given at the same time as sacituzumab govitecan—can help people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer without starting with traditional chemo/radiation. Because it’s early-stage, the main goal is safety and learning the best way to use this combination to preserve the bladder.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05969860RecruitingPhase 2
Home cancer treatment vs clinic treatment for advanced cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares giving certain standard cancer infusions at home versus in a clinic. It may help people avoid clinic visits while still receiving the same cancer treatment safely.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06995898Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test that may help find cancer early. You will give blood samples over a year, and researchers will check them for signs of cancer.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 45–75 - NCT06983210RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced bladder or urinary tract cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if adding AM80 to standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy works better.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 18–79 - NCT06586255RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy and radiation after bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to immunotherapy after bladder removal surgery can help prevent cancer from coming back. It's for people with advanced bladder cancer who have already started immunotherapy.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07480356RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new bladder cancer treatment (TARA-002) vs standard chemo
This trial compares a new medicine called TARA-002, given directly into the bladder, to the doctor's choice of standard chemotherapy. It is for people with a high-grade, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that has not been treated with BCG or has not had BCG recently.
Queen Creek, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05521698RecruitingPhase 1
Bicalutamide for early-stage bladder cancer
This trial tests whether the drug bicalutamide can help men with early-stage (non-invasive) bladder cancer, which has not grown into the bladder muscle. It is given before surgery to see if it can reduce the chance of the cancer coming back. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive bicalutamide or a placebo before their scheduled surgery.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07029256Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided biopsy for bladder cancer staging
This trial uses an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy to check if bladder cancer has spread beyond the bladder. It may help doctors stage the cancer more accurately before surgery.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07717242RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder cancer study testing a new drug combination before surgery
This trial is testing a combination of two drugs (disitamab vedotin and toripalimab) for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the tumor before surgery. You may qualify if your tumor has a certain level of a protein called HER2.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06470282RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug combo plus radiation for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) plus radiation therapy for people with bladder cancer that has grown into the muscle layer. The goal is to see if this treatment can kill the cancer while avoiding the need for bladder removal surgery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06444815RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VET3-TGI for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental treatment called VET3-TGI, which is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried other treatments and are looking for new options.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06349642Recruiting
Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05962541RecruitingPhase 4
Using bladder scans to plan repeat surgery for bladder cancer
This trial checks whether a bladder scan and score (VI-RADS from MRI) can help doctors choose the right way to do a second look surgery for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to reduce the chance of needing extra (“secondary”) resections while still catching important disease early.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - NCT06537960Recruiting
Later scan images to better see bladder cancer spread
This trial tests whether taking extra, later images during your standard FDG PET-CT scan can give doctors a better view of how far your muscle-invasive bladder cancer has spread. You may be eligible if you are 18 or older, have confirmed muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and are already getting this type of scan.
Suresnes, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07492628RecruitingPhase 1
Dual-target cell therapy for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses your own immune cells, called CAR-NK cells, modified to attack two proteins (Nectin-4 and HER2) often found on bladder cancer cells. It is for people whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and has not responded to standard treatments like chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06228066RecruitingPhase 2
Lurbinectedin with or without avelumab for small cell bladder cancer
This clinical trial tests a drug called lurbinectedin, given alone or with avelumab (an immunotherapy), for people with small cell bladder cancer or similar high-grade neuroendocrine tumors that have spread. The goal is to see if combining these drugs helps shrink or control the cancer better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07579195RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Consolidation therapy after EV + pembro in bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy or bladder-removal surgery (consolidation) after EV + pembrolizumab helps control muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has spread. It is for people whose cancer responded to the initial drug combination.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test to catch cancer early after treatment
This study looks for signs of cancer left in the body after treatment using a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy). It aims to see if the test can catch cancer that might come back earlier than regular scans.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06173349RecruitingPhase 1
New bladder therapy for BCG-resistant bladder cancer
This trial tests a new treatment for bladder cancer that does not respond to standard BCG therapy. The treatment uses tiny particles (micelles) that deliver a chemotherapy drug directly into the bladder, aiming to destroy cancer cells without needing surgery.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06704191RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bladder cancer treatment at home
This trial tests whether patients with early-stage bladder cancer can safely receive their usual bladder chemotherapy or immunotherapy at home instead of in the clinic. It aims to make treatment more convenient while keeping it effective.
