Recruiting studies
- NCT06537154RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Neoadjuvant therapy for bladder cancer with active surveillance
This trial tests whether people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer can safely avoid immediate surgery or radiation after a short course of chemotherapy. Instead, they would be closely monitored and only treated if the cancer comes back.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT05203913RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder cancer trial adds chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation after surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding chemotherapy and immunotherapy along with targeted pelvic radiation after bladder tumor surgery can reduce bladder cancer returning or spreading. It focuses on people with non-metastatic, muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT04724928RecruitingPhase 2
PET-CT scan to guide bladder cancer treatment decisions
This Phase 2 study checks whether an FDG PET-CT scan can help doctors better predict bladder cancer risk and adjust treatment. You may still get standard bladder cancer care, but the study uses the scan results to help decide how aggressive treatment should be.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT04900558Recruiting
Study outcomes after robotic bladder removal surgery
This trial follows adults who are planning to have a robotic radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder and surrounding tissue) to learn what outcomes to expect. If you choose to join and meet the basics, it may help your team compare results and improve care for future patients.
Florence, TuscanyAges 18 years+ - NCT06215976RecruitingPhase 4
Metformin with cisplatin for bladder cancer: protecting kidneys
This trial tests if adding metformin to cisplatin chemotherapy can protect the kidneys of people with bladder cancer. It may help reduce kidney damage from cisplatin treatment.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06341400RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination drug treatment before bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests two drugs (RC48 and toripalimab) given before bladder cancer surgery for patients who cannot take the standard chemotherapy due to kidney problems or other reasons. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06630416RecruitingPhase 2
Pemetrexed for advanced bladder and other cancers with certain gene changes
This trial tests if a chemotherapy drug called pemetrexed works better in advanced bladder cancer or other solid tumors that have specific genetic changes (MLL4, UTX, or MTAP). It is for people who have already tried at least two prior treatments.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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+ - NCT06809140RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder-sparing treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, to treat bladder cancer that has grown into the muscle of the bladder. The goal is to shrink or eliminate the cancer so that surgery to remove the bladder may not be needed.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06109857Recruiting
Bladder Bank: Collecting samples for research
This study collects urine and tissue samples from people being checked for blood in their urine (hematuria) to build a 'bladder bank' for future research. By donating samples, you help scientists learn more about bladder conditions and improve diagnosis.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07474519RecruitingPhase 4
Studying position and dwell time for BCG bladder cancer treatment
This trial tests whether changing your position while receiving BCG treatment (a liquid medicine placed directly into the bladder) can help it work better. You will wear a fitness tracker for a few days to monitor activity.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07614594Recruiting
Urine Test to Detect Bladder and Kidney Cancer
This study tests whether a simple urine test can accurately identify cancer in the bladder, ureters (tubes between kidneys and bladder), or renal pelvis (part of the kidney). You would provide urine samples before your planned surgery, and researchers will compare the urine test results to your actual tissue diagnosis after surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06204614Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Drug screening for bladder cancer before surgery
This trial tests a tiny device placed into bladder tumors before surgery to see which drugs might work best for each patient, helping guide future treatment choices.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–120 - NCT07673016Recruiting
Collecting urine to test a new bladder cancer detection method
This study collects urine samples to test UroAmp, a new genetic test that may help detect and monitor bladder cancer. It is for people with bladder cancer or blood in urine who want to help improve cancer detection.
Oceanside, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04752722RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for bladder cancer that came back after BCG
This study tests a new gene therapy (EG-70) given directly into the bladder for people with a high-risk bladder cancer called NMIBC. It may be an option if BCG treatment stopped working, or if you cannot have or choose not to have bladder removal surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06289270Recruiting
Bladder cancer and urine bacteria study
This study looks at bacteria in urine and the bladder to understand if they play a role in causing bladder cancer. Researchers will compare samples from men with bladder cancer and healthy controls.
Cairo, Giza GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06040762Recruiting
Get moving before bladder cancer surgery
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program before surgery can help improve physical function in people with bladder or upper tract urothelial cancer. If you are planning to have surgery to remove your bladder or upper urinary tract, you may be able to join.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06712420RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy before surgery for advanced gallbladder cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy before surgery helps people with locally advanced gallbladder cancer that can still be removed. It may improve outcomes by shrinking the tumor beforehand.
Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–70 - NCT05337189Recruiting
Urine DNA test study for possible bladder cancer
This trial looks at how a urine DNA test may help find bladder cancer (or clues that it might be present), especially in people with symptoms or higher risk. You may be asked to provide urine and also complete standard tests like imaging, a cystoscopy, or pathology checks.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06503614RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab and monalizumab for early bladder cancer
This trial tests two drugs—durvalumab and monalizumab—for people with early-stage bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle and has persisted or returned after BCG treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer and delay or avoid the need for bladder removal surgery.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06833073RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an mRNA vaccine and BCG for bladder cancer
This trial tests an experimental mRNA vaccine (V940) combined with BCG therapy for people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to see if the vaccine can help the immune system better fight the cancer.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06417190RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder preservation trial for muscle-invasive bladder cancer with variant histology
This trial tests a bladder-sparing approach for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has a variant histology type. The goal is to avoid removing the bladder by using a combination of treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04878029RecruitingPhase 1
Cabozantinib plus enfortumab for advanced bladder cancer after immunotherapy
This Phase 1 study tests whether cabozantinib combined with enfortumab vedotin can help people with advanced urothelial (bladder) cancer that has already been treated with immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1) and usually chemotherapy. It aims to find a safer dose and see if the combo can shrink tumors or control the disease.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
