Personalized chemo testing for bladder cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have muscle-invasive bladder cancer (stage cT2 to cT4a) that has not spread to other parts of the body.
- You have never received chemotherapy before.
- You are healthy enough to undergo chemotherapy (ECOG score 0-2).
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the study plan.

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.
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 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.
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) with two chemotherapy drugs (etoposide and cisplatin) given before surgery for a rare, aggressive type of bladder cancer called neuroendocrine carcinoma. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
