Testing a new bladder cancer treatment (TARA-002) vs standard chemo
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have high-grade bladder cancer that is only in the inner layer of the bladder (not into muscle), and it is a type called carcinoma in situ (CIS), which may also include small tumors (Ta or T1)
- You have not had BCG treatment before, or you have not had BCG in the last 2 years, or you received only 1 or 2 doses of BCG in the last 2 years before your CIS diagnosis
- You are not allergic to penicillin
- Your cancer does not have a rare cell type (variant histology) and has not spread to the prostate, upper urinary tract, lymph nodes, or other parts of the body

This trial tests a new targeted drug, BL-M07D1, against standard chemotherapy in people with advanced bladder cancer that has grown after immunotherapy. It may offer a new treatment option for those with a specific protein (HER2) on their cancer cells.
This study compares a new combination of chemotherapy drugs delivered directly into the bladder versus standard treatment for people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that has returned or not responded to prior therapy. It aims to see if the new treatment helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
This trial compares a new drug called TAR-210, given directly into the bladder, to standard chemotherapy for people with a specific type of high-risk bladder cancer that has not invaded muscle. It tests if TAR-210 can be more effective with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a drug called T3011 for a type of bladder cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments like BCG or chemotherapy. It aims to see if T3011 can help shrink the cancer or keep it from growing, offering a new option for people who have limited choices.
This Phase 2 trial tests TARA-002 given directly into the bladder to treat high-grade non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer with active disease. It may help patients who have not previously responded to, or have not received, BCG treatment in the recent past.
This study tests an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) alone or followed by medication placed directly into the bladder (gemcitabine and mitomycin C) for people with high-risk bladder cancer that has not spread into the muscle wall and that has not responded to or couldn't be handled with BCG therapy. The goal is to see which approach works better.
