Recruiting studies
- NCT05037279RecruitingPhase 3
Testing BCG treatment for bladder cancer after full tumor removal
This trial studies a BCG-based bladder instillation in people with newly diagnosed, intermediate- or high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who have had their tumor fully removed. The goal is to see whether this treatment is safer and works better to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07087860RecruitingPhase 2
Plasma exchange plus targeted therapy for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a procedure called therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) combined with the drugs enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab for people with advanced bladder cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if TPE helps the drugs work better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07322263RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine and docetaxel for bladder cancer that returned after BCG
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and docetaxel) given directly into the bladder to treat high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has come back or not responded to BCG therapy. It's for people who cannot or choose not to have their bladder removed.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT05733000RecruitingPhase 2
CPI-613 plus hydroxychloroquine with chemo for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called CPI-613 (devimistat) combined with hydroxychloroquine along with either 5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine chemo. It’s for people with advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments, aiming to shrink tumors and slow cancer growth.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05312671RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus chemo for small cell bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a drug called atezolizumab combined with chemotherapy (etoposide and a platinum drug) can shrink or control small cell bladder cancer. It may help by boosting the immune system against the cancer while the chemotherapy treats fast-growing cancer cells.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 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+ - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 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.
Fort Smith, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06770582RecruitingPhase 2
Adding immunotherapy to radiation for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to radiation therapy works as well as or better than the usual chemotherapy given with radiation for a type of bladder cancer that has not invaded the muscle. It is for people whose cancer came back or has high-risk features and who would otherwise need to have their bladder removed.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 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+ - NCT03374267Recruiting
Urologic cancer registry study
This registry study collects information from people with different types of advanced or high-risk urologic cancers. It helps doctors learn more about how these cancers are treated in real life.
Multiple LocationsAges 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+ - 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.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - NCT05521698RecruitingPhase 1
Bicalutamide study for early bladder cancer in men
This trial tests whether bicalutamide can help men with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (an early form that hasn’t spread into muscle). It is a Phase 1 study, meaning the main goal is to see how safe it is and learn how it behaves in the body for this cancer type.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 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.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07728474Recruiting
Herbal supplement to prevent bladder cancer recurrence
This trial tests a herbal formula called LCS103 to see if it can help prevent bladder cancer from coming back after a tumor has been removed. It is for people with non-invasive bladder cancer that has been fully taken out by surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for upper tract urothelial cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 65 recruiting upper tract urothelial cancer studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a upper tract urothelial cancer trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a upper tract urothelial cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
