Recruiting studies
- NCT07129993RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of datopotamab deruxtecan with chemo for advanced bladder cancer

Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT04428554RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation to control bladder cancer spread after no growth
This trial tests whether giving focused radiation (SBRT) to a few remaining metastatic spots can stop bladder cancer from progressing after initial chemotherapy or immunotherapy has worked. It may help patients who still have up to three remaining distant lesions but are not getting worse.
AlbiAges 18 years+ - NCT07207824RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of a drug (DV) and BCG immunotherapy for people with high-risk, early-stage bladder cancer that has not spread into the muscle. The cancer must show a specific protein called HER2 on its cells.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04106115RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Durvalumab vaccine trial for high-risk bladder cancer after BCG
This early-phase trial tests durvalumab given with an experimental bladder cancer vaccine to help stop or slow high-risk bladder cancer that did not respond to or cannot be treated with BCG. It also evaluates safety and how well the treatment works in this setting.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT06696742RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 inhibitor plus probiotic for bladder cancer
This trial tests a combination of a PD-1 inhibitor (which helps your immune system fight cancer) and a probiotic called Clostridium butyricum for people with bladder cancer. It is for those who either have invasive bladder cancer before surgery, or have high-risk features after surgery, and haven't had previous immunotherapy or chemotherapy.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06787053Recruiting
MRI imaging for oxygen-starved tumors
This study uses MRI scans to find areas of low oxygen in tumors and see if adjusting radiation treatment can help. It is open to adults with bladder, cervix, or prostate cancer who are getting radiation therapy at the Christie NHS Foundation Trust.
ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT06820255RecruitingPhase 4
DNA repair and platinum chemo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests how well platinum-based chemotherapy works in people with advanced bladder cancer that has certain DNA repair gene changes. It aims to see if these genetic markers can predict who benefits most from treatment.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07019220RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoablation for low-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests using chemotherapy directly into the bladder to treat low-grade bladder cancer that has come back, as an alternative to surgery. It may help people with small, low-grade tumors avoid the need for a more invasive procedure.
ViennaAges 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+ - NCT07073703Recruiting
A personalized program for frailty in bladder or kidney cancer patients
This trial tests a personalized 6-month program to reduce frailty in older patients who are about to have surgery for bladder or kidney cancer. The program includes exercise and support, and aims to help patients stay stronger during and after treatment.
Saint-EtienneAges 65 years+ - NCT07080333Recruiting
Bladder cancer and the gut microbiome study
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut and bladder to understand how they may relate to bladder cancer. It is for men who are having their first tumor removal for suspected bladder cancer, and helps researchers learn if the microbiome plays a role.
CannesAges 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 - NCT07059884Recruiting
Exercise program to help people with cancer stay active
This trial tests a distance-based exercise program designed to help people on chemotherapy maintain their physical function and prevent disability. It is for patients with certain cancers who are working full-time and can participate in moderate physical activity.
Dublin, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07441499Recruiting
Detecting bladder cancer recurrence with a blood test
This study uses a blood test to find and monitor urothelial cancer (a type of bladder cancer) and to watch for signs it may come back. It may help patients and doctors make better decisions about follow-up care.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07589413Recruiting
Blood markers and fluid absorption during bladder cancer surgery
This study looks at how fluid absorbed during bladder cancer removal surgery affects cell-free DNA (tiny pieces of cancer DNA) in your blood. Researchers want to understand if these blood markers can help predict surgery outcomes and guide treatment decisions.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT07218003Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Study of RNDO-564 alone or with pembrolizumab for bladder cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug, RNDO-564, either by itself or combined with another drug (pembrolizumab), for people with advanced bladder cancer or other solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07218380RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Vepugratinib for advanced bladder or urinary tract cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called Vepugratinib for people with advanced urinary tract cancer that has a specific change in the FGFR3 gene. It may be an option if you haven't had other treatments for advanced cancer and are looking for a new approach.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06124976RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
A new treatment for low-grade kidney/ureter cancer (ST-02)
This trial tests a new treatment called ST-02 that is given directly into the kidney or ureter to destroy low-grade cancer cells without surgery. It may be an option for people whose cancer has not spread and who are looking for a less invasive treatment.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zanzalintinib, which may slow or shrink various types of advanced cancer. It is given together with other cancer treatments, and the study is looking at many different cancers including kidney, prostate, bladder, lung, liver, and more.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05239624RecruitingPhase 2
Enfortumab plus pembrolizumab for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This Phase 2 study tests how well two anti-cancer medicines—enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab—work for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes (but not distant organs). It may help shrink the cancer and improve treatment outcomes before or around planning major surgery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07646145RecruitingPhase 2
Disitamab Vedotin Plus Mitomycin C for HER2-Positive Bladder Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two medications—disitamab vedotin (a targeted therapy) and mitomycin C (a chemotherapy)—for people with early-stage bladder cancer that has a specific protein called HER2. The goal is to prevent cancer from coming back after surgery in people who cannot or will not receive BCG treatment.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT03945162RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder cancer trial using light therapy in the bladder
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment called photodynamic therapy (PDT) placed directly into the bladder. It may help people whose non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer did not respond to BCG treatment or could not tolerate it.
