Comparing shorter vs longer chemo before immunotherapy for bladder cancer
This trial is testing whether 3 cycles of chemotherapy are as effective as 6 cycles before starting maintenance immunotherapy (avelumab) for people with advanced bladder cancer. The goal is to see if a shorter chemo course can reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06896162Recruiting
Genetic test to guide first or second treatment for advanced cancer
This study looks at whether using a detailed genetic test of your tumor can help pick the best first or second treatment for advanced lung, colon, breast, or bladder cancer. The goal is to see if this personalized approach helps people live longer.
