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+ - 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+ - NCT07222488RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MK-3120 for bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug, MK-3120, for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle. It is for patients who either haven't had BCG treatment before or have had BCG treatment and their cancer came back more than 12 months but within 2 years after the last dose.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07129993RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of datopotamab deruxtecan with chemo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial is testing a new drug combination for advanced bladder cancer that has grown despite previous treatment. It pairs a targeted therapy (datopotamab deruxtecan) with chemotherapy, and the goal is to see if it can slow down or stop the cancer better than standard chemo alone.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07548476Recruiting
Acupuncture and exercise for nerve pain from cancer treatment
This study tests whether adding acupuncture and exercise can help prevent or reduce nerve pain, numbness, or tingling caused by a cancer treatment called EV-Pembro (a drug combination for bladder cancer). It may help you stay active and feel better during treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Queen Creek, ArizonaAges 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.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT07566156RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combination vs. radiation for bladder cancer preservation
This trial tests whether two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) work better than radiation with chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to treat your cancer while keeping your bladder instead of removing it.
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05080998Recruiting
Tracking bladder cancer recurrence with repeated urine tests
This study follows people with past bladder cancer to see how bladder cancer comes back over time. You would provide urine samples at several visits, which helps researchers evaluate urine tests that may spot recurrence earlier.
Miami, FloridaAges 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+ - NCT06204614Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Drug screening for bladder cancer before surgery
This trial tests a tiny device placed into bladder tumors before surgery to see which drugs might work best for each patient, helping guide future treatment choices.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–120 - 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+ - NCT04428554RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation to control bladder cancer spread after no growth
This trial tests whether giving focused radiation (SBRT) to a few remaining metastatic spots can stop bladder cancer from progressing after initial chemotherapy or immunotherapy has worked. It may help patients who still have up to three remaining distant lesions but are not getting worse.
AlbiAges 18 years+ - NCT06335667Recruiting
MRI vs. TURBT for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
This study compares two ways to check if bladder cancer has grown into the muscle layer: an MRI scan (mpMRI) versus a standard surgery called TURBT (where a small tool removes a sample of the tumor). The goal is to see if the MRI can be as accurate as the surgery, so future patients might avoid an extra procedure.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT06465069RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced bladder and other solid tumors
This study tests a new drug (LY4052031) for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially bladder cancer. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective when given alone or after other treatments have stopped working.
Duarte, 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+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
