Recruiting studies in Ohio
- 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.
Athens, OhioAges 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 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.
Akron, OhioAges 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.
Cleveland, OhioAges 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.
Centerville, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06605404Recruiting
Pan-tumor study of a blood test after cancer surgery
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for leftover cancer cells after surgery. It is for people with different types of solid tumors who are planning to have surgery to cure their cancer. The goal is to see if the test can help guide future treatment decisions.
Maumee, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07225127Recruiting
Bladder cancer treatment: therapy vs. surgery
This study compares two standard treatments for high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has come back after initial treatment: medication placed directly into the bladder (intravesical therapy) or bladder removal surgery (cystectomy). The goal is to see which option works better for patients like you.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07000084RecruitingPhase 3
Testing gemcitabine with BCG for returning bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug called gemcitabine to the usual BCG therapy can help prevent bladder cancer from coming back again. If you have had BCG before and your cancer returned, this study might offer a more effective treatment option.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06567743RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new virus therapy for high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new virus-based medicine, cretostimogene grenadenorepvec, given directly into the bladder for people with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back, especially for those who have not had BCG treatment or whose cancer did not respond to BCG.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06971614RecruitingPhase 2
T3011 for bladder cancer not responding to standard treatments
This trial tests a drug called T3011 for a type of bladder cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments like BCG or chemotherapy. It aims to see if T3011 can help shrink the cancer or keep it from growing, offering a new option for people who have limited choices.

What taking part in a muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma clinical trials in Ohio?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 13 recruiting muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma studies with a site in Ohio, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma study in Ohio?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Ohio to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Ohio, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
