Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT06173349RecruitingPhase 1
New bladder therapy for BCG-resistant bladder cancer
This trial tests a new treatment for bladder cancer that does not respond to standard BCG therapy. The treatment uses tiny particles (micelles) that deliver a chemotherapy drug directly into the bladder, aiming to destroy cancer cells without needing surgery.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05739071Enrolling by invitation
Herbal tea study for bladder cancer urinary tract symptoms
This study tests whether drinking JING SI herbal tea can help with urinary tract symptoms in people with bladder cancer receiving treatment directly into the bladder. You may be able to help researchers understand whether this tea improves day-to-day bladder-related symptoms.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 20–100 - NCT00872495Recruiting
Tests urine and bladder checks for bladder cancer
This trial tests non-invasive tests (using urine samples and scheduled bladder procedures) to help detect bladder cancer. It may be helpful if you are having bladder evaluation or surgery and your care team wants better ways to detect cancer without invasive testing beyond what you already need.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04369560RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Virtual MRI to map bladder cancer for staging before surgery
This early-stage study uses special MRI imaging to create a “virtual view” of the bladder wall so doctors can better stage bladder cancer before treatment. If you qualify, you may get MRI imaging using contrast medicines as part of planning your surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–90 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT04861584RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo before bladder surgery for advanced cancer
This trial studies giving toripalimab (an immunotherapy) together with gemcitabine and cisplatin before bladder surgery. It aims to shrink locally advanced bladder cancer and make surgery more effective by using the immune system and chemotherapy together.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04752722RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for bladder cancer that came back after BCG
This study tests a new gene therapy (EG-70) given directly into the bladder for people with a high-risk bladder cancer called NMIBC. It may be an option if BCG treatment stopped working, or if you cannot have or choose not to have bladder removal surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 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+ - NCT03193541Recruiting
Testing a urine blood test to check for bladder cancer risk
This trial checks whether a new lab test on urine can help sort out which people with small amounts of blood in the urine (microscopic hematuria) might have bladder cancer. It may help doctors evaluate symptoms more accurately and decide who needs further testing.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT03193515Recruiting
Blood test to monitor bladder cancer returning
This trial tests a new blood test that looks for signs bladder cancer may be coming back in people with a recent history of bladder cancer. It may help by making surveillance easier, but you must still follow a scheduled bladder-check plan.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02379429Recruiting
Collecting bladder/urothelial cancer tissue for future research
This study looks at urothelial cancer (often bladder cancer) samples taken during diagnosis or standard treatment. It may help researchers better understand the disease by using tissue that doctors already need to collect for care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07359235RecruitingPhase 1
KD01 for bladder cancer: a safety and early efficacy trial
This trial tests a new drug called KD01, which is given directly into the bladder through a catheter (intravesical instillation) for bladder cancer. It aims to see if the drug is safe and tolerable, and if it may help slow or stop the cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT04873037Recruiting
BTL Emsella chair vs sham for overactive bladder relief
This trial tests whether a specialized chair treatment (BTL Emsella) can reduce bladder urgency and overactive bladder symptoms compared with a sham (placebo) chair session. It may help people who have already tried behavioral steps and/or bladder medications but still have symptoms.
Royal Oak, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06511141Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for men with overactive bladder
This study tests a nerve stimulation device placed near the tailbone to help men with overactive bladder symptoms. If you have bothersome urinary urgency or frequency, this treatment may offer relief without drugs.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04574960RecruitingPhase 3
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy before kidney/ureter cancer surgery
This Phase 3 trial studies giving cisplatin-based chemotherapy before surgery for certain newly diagnosed upper-urinary-tract urothelial cancers (kidney/ureter). It may help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes by treating microscopic disease earlier.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06834204Enrolling by invitation
Better care coordination for cancer survivors
This study tests a program to improve communication between your cancer team and your regular doctor. If you have heart or diabetes risks and you're being treated for breast, prostate, bladder, or endometrial cancer, this trial may help coordinate your care.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07346586Recruiting
Tamsulosin to remove catheter earlier after rectal cancer surgery
This study tests whether the drug tamsulosin (used for prostate issues) can help patients pass urine more easily after rectal cancer surgery, allowing the urinary catheter to be removed sooner. It aims to reduce discomfort and shorten recovery time.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges Any age - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05000294RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Atezolizumab plus tivozanib for hard-to-treat “cold” cancers
This early-stage study tests whether combining atezolizumab and tivozanib can shrink advanced, hard-to-treat cancers that do not strongly activate the immune system (“immunologically cold”). It is for people whose cancer has already been treated or has no good standard options.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - 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.
