Personalized bladder cancer treatment using organoid drug testing
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a patient's own tumor cells grown in a lab (organoids) can help choose the best chemotherapy to put directly into the bladder. It is for people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who need their first round of this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether using a patient's own tumor cells grown in a lab (organoids) can help doctors choose the best chemotherapy drugs before bladder cancer surgery. It may help find the most effective treatment for you.
This trial uses a lab-grown version of your tumor (an organoid) to see which chemotherapy might work best for you after bladder cancer surgery. It helps doctors choose the most effective treatment for each person.
This trial tests an antibody-drug conjugate that targets HER2 in people with advanced bladder cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It is for patients whose cancer has not responded to or stopped responding to platinum-based chemotherapy.
This trial tests whether using a patient's own tumor cells in lab-made clusters (PTCs) can help guide chemotherapy before bladder removal surgery for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. If you qualify, you'll receive personalized treatment followed by surgery.
This clinical trial tests a new drug, BH011, for people with high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has come back or not responded to BCG therapy. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and works well when given directly into the bladder, as an alternative to bladder removal surgery.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to treat large, non-invasive bladder cancer before and after surgery. It aims to avoid removing the bladder while still effectively treating the cancer.
