Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT06124976RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
A new treatment for low-grade kidney/ureter cancer (ST-02)
This trial tests a new treatment called ST-02 that is given directly into the kidney or ureter to destroy low-grade cancer cells without surgery. It may be an option for people whose cancer has not spread and who are looking for a less invasive treatment.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04865939RecruitingPhase 3
Gemcitabine treatment compared with bladder wash in UTUC surgery
This Phase 3 trial studies whether using gemcitabine (a chemotherapy medicine) in the urinary tract better prevents cancer from coming back than using a simple water wash. It involves people with upper tract urothelial carcinoma who are having curative surgery to remove the affected ureter or kidney tube.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT05775471RecruitingPhase 2
Check PD-1 plus enfortumab after kidney-urine-duct surgery
This Phase 2 study tests giving pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) and enfortumab vedotin (an antibody-drug medicine) before and after surgery to remove high-risk upper urinary tract cancer. The goal is to lower the chance the cancer comes back.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07630155Recruiting
Single-use digital scope for kidney cancer surveillance
This trial tests a new, disposable flexible camera (ureteroscope) to safely check for or monitor upper urinary tract cancer in an office setting without putting you to sleep. The goal is to see if patients can tolerate this procedure comfortably while awake.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04678362RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance treatment with talazoparib plus immunotherapy for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether continuing two medicines after your initial platinum chemotherapy can help keep your urothelial (bladder/urine tract) cancer from coming back or worsening. It is for people whose cancer shrank or stayed stable after chemotherapy and who cannot be cured with surgery or radiation.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04724018RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Enfortumab and sacituzumab for metastatic bladder cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether combining sacituzumab govitecan with enfortumab vedotin (and in one group, pembrolizumab) can shrink or control metastatic urothelial (bladder/urinary tract) cancer. It’s mainly for people whose cancer has grown despite prior treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05302284RecruitingPhase 3
Testing RC48-ADC plus toripalimab for first-time urothelial cancer
This trial tests whether RC48-ADC combined with toripalimab works better as the first treatment for urothelial cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people whose cancer has the right HER2 and other eligibility features.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05656235RecruitingPhase 2
Study of keeping kidneys longer in upper tract bladder cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a combination treatment can control high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer without removing the kidney and ureter (radical nephroureterectomy). It may help people who must avoid surgery or choose not to have it because of medical risk.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05874921Recruiting
Registry for adults with UTUC treated with Jelmyto
This registry collects information about adults with upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) who received Jelmyto after it was approved. It helps doctors understand outcomes and real-world experience with Jelmyto.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06040762Recruiting
Get moving before bladder cancer surgery
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program before surgery can help improve physical function in people with bladder or upper tract urothelial cancer. If you are planning to have surgery to remove your bladder or upper urinary tract, you may be able to join.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06764095RecruitingPhase 4
Drug combo before bladder or ureter surgery for advanced cancer
This trial tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, given before surgery to remove the bladder or ureter in people with advanced bladder or upper urinary tract cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the cancer and improves outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06818136Recruiting
Bladder cancer urine test for people with blood in urine
This trial is testing a urine test called Bladder EpiCheck to see if it can help find bladder cancer in people who have blood in their urine. You would give a urine sample and then have a standard cystoscopy as part of your care.
Dunfermline, FifeAges 45 years+ - NCT06823427RecruitingPhase 2
9MW2821 with or without immunotherapy for advanced urothelial cancer
This trial tests a combination of an investigational drug (9MW2821) with an immunotherapy (toripalimab) against 9MW2821 alone for people with advanced urothelial cancer who have not yet received any systemic treatment. The goal is to see if the combination works better than the single drug.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT06983210RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced bladder or urinary tract cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if adding AM80 to standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy works better.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 18–79 - 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+ - NCT07241793RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab rezetecan with or without immunotherapy for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced bladder cancer that has a protein called HER2 on its surface. It may help those whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. The study looks at the drug given alone or with an immunotherapy.

Donate blood and tissue to study recurrent or metastatic cancers
This study collects and studies blood and, when possible, small tissue samples from people with prostate or bladder/urothelial cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to better understand these cancers and support future research that may lead to better care.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07492628RecruitingPhase 1
Dual-target cell therapy for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses your own immune cells, called CAR-NK cells, modified to attack two proteins (Nectin-4 and HER2) often found on bladder cancer cells. It is for people whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and has not responded to standard treatments like chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06904573RecruitingPhase 2

SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06598761Recruiting
Immunotherapy plus radiation after surgery for advanced UTUC
This trial is testing whether adding immunotherapy and radiation after surgery can improve outcomes for people with advanced upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) who cannot have chemotherapy. It compares the combination to surgery alone.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06120387Recruiting
Radiation after kidney-sparing surgery for high-risk ureteral cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for urothelial carcinoma ureter?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 46 recruiting urothelial carcinoma ureter 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 urothelial carcinoma ureter 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 urothelial carcinoma ureter 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.
