Recruiting studies
- NCT07475806RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder-sparing drug combo for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This study tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, to see if they can help people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer avoid removing their bladder. The drugs are given before the standard surgery to possibly shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07187635Recruiting
Urine DNA test before a second bladder tumor surgery
This trial studies if a urine test for tumor DNA can help decide when a second surgery is needed for early stage bladder cancer. It may reduce unnecessary procedures for some patients.
Nanchang, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07726602Recruiting
Tumor DNA blood test for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This trial uses a blood test to look for small pieces of tumor DNA (ctDNA) after treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to find out if the test can detect leftover or returning cancer earlier, helping guide next steps.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07756437Recruiting
Blood test for detecting bladder cancer DNA
This study is testing a simple blood test that looks for cancer DNA in your blood. The goal is to see if it can accurately detect muscle-invasive bladder cancer or upper tract urothelial cancer.
Ghent, East FlandersAges 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+ - NCT07483970RecruitingPhase 1
JL19001 alone or with BCG for high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug called JL19001, given alone or with BCG (a standard bladder cancer treatment), for people with high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the bladder muscle. The goal is to see if it can help prevent the cancer from coming back or getting worse.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 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+ - 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 - NCT06190197RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing antibiotics before bladder removal surgery
This trial tests whether giving preventive antibiotics before bladder removal surgery reduces infections. If you have muscle-invasive bladder cancer and are having your bladder removed, you may be able to join.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT07747740RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder cancer treatment after BCG therapy fails
This trial compares two combinations of chemotherapy drugs given directly into the bladder to see which works better for patients whose bladder cancer has not responded to BCG therapy.
Moscow, MoscowAges 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.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 40–75 - NCT05796375RecruitingPhase 2
Urine testing instead of repeat bladder scope checks
This Phase 2 study tests whether urine tests can help monitor “non-muscle-invasive” bladder cancer without doing as many invasive bladder scopes (cystoscopies). If you qualify, you may be able to replace some scope visits with urine sample testing while still keeping close watch for cancer coming back.
West Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06919965RecruitingPhase 3
TAR-210 vs. standard bladder chemo for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial compares a new drug called TAR-210, given directly into the bladder, to standard chemotherapy for people with a specific type of high-risk bladder cancer that has not invaded muscle. It tests if TAR-210 can be more effective with fewer side effects.
Sun City, ArizonaAges 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+ - NCT06529822RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized cancer vaccine for solid tumors with MRD
This trial tests a personalized cancer vaccine for people with certain cancers (bladder, stomach/esophagus, melanoma, or lung) who have no visible cancer after surgery but still have tiny bits of cancer DNA in their blood (called MRD). The vaccine is designed to train your immune system to attack any remaining cancer cells.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03844256RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bladder-sparing chemo-radiation plus immunotherapy for bladder cancer
This study tests whether adding immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab alone or nivolumab plus ipilimumab) to standard chemo-radiation can control muscle-invasive bladder cancer while helping people keep their bladder. It aims to find a safer, effective curative treatment for people who want to avoid bladder removal (cystectomy).
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 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+ - NCT05072600RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab after complete bladder cancer treatment response
This trial studies pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) in people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who had a combined “trimodality” treatment and then achieved a complete response. The goal is to help control the cancer after the initial treatment is finished.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05790850Recruiting
Mindfulness and exercise plan before bladder surgery
This study tests whether a structured mindfulness and high-intensity exercise program before radical bladder surgery can help patients improve health and recovery. You may be asked to use monitoring devices and complete questionnaires during the study.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–90 - 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.
