Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT06668493RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A virus-based treatment for low-grade upper tract bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, nadofaragene firadenovec, which uses a harmless virus to deliver a signal that helps your immune system fight low-grade cancer in the upper part of the urinary tract (the kidney area). It's given directly into the kidney through a small tube, and may avoid more invasive surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06510374RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy vs. observation for intermediate risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new gene therapy called nadofaragene firadenovec versus just watching and waiting (observation) for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that hasn't grown into the muscle. The goal is to see if the gene therapy can help keep the cancer from coming back.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07265947RecruitingPhase 2
Testing dabogratinib for low-grade upper tract bladder cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy pill, dabogratinib, for people with low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (a type of cancer in the tubes that carry urine from kidneys to bladder). It may be an option if you have tumor tissue left after a biopsy and haven't had certain prior treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06172478RecruitingPhase 2
HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07097142RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation for bladder cancer with chemo
This trial tests if a shorter course of radiation therapy works as well as the usual longer course for people with bladder cancer who are also receiving standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if shorter treatment can reduce side effects while still being effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06319820RecruitingPhase 3
TAR-210 vs standard bladder chemo for FGFR-mutated bladder cancer
This trial compares a new drug, TAR-210, which is placed directly into the bladder, against standard chemotherapy given through a catheter. It is for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that has a change in the FGFR gene.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06995677RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TYRA-300 for bladder cancer that has not spread into muscle
This trial tests a new pill, TYRA-300, for people with a certain type of early-stage bladder cancer that has a specific genetic change (FGFR3). The goal is to see if it can help by targeting the cancer cells and possibly avoiding more invasive treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07061964RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation to save the bladder
This trial tests whether combining immunotherapy and low-dose radiation after chemotherapy can help you avoid bladder removal. It's for people whose muscle-invasive bladder cancer has shrunk significantly after initial treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07725796RecruitingPhase 1
Study of UGN-501 for recurrent bladder cancer
This study tests an experimental medicine called UGN-501 given directly into the bladder. It is for people whose bladder cancer has come back despite previous treatments, such as BCG therapy. The goal is to find the best dose and see how safe and effective it is.

What taking part in a muscle invasive bladder urothelial 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.
