Renal pelvis/ureter urothelial carcinoma

This Phase 3 trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) can help prevent bladder cancer from returning after surgery. About 739 patients with muscle-invasive or locally advanced urothelial cancer are randomly assigned to receive pembrolizumab or just be o…

This study tests if the drug enfortumab vedotin can safely and effectively shrink or eliminate high-grade urothelial carcinoma in the upper urinary tract before standard surgery. It includes 24 people who cannot take or choose not to take the chemotherapy drug cisplatin. The main…

This study tests a drug called TOOKAD (padeliporfin) that is activated by light to destroy low-grade tumors in the kidney or ureter. About 100 adults with this rare cancer will receive the treatment in two phases, with follow-up for up to 4 years. The goal is to see if the therap…

This study tests whether combining two immune-boosting drugs, pembrolizumab and BCG, can keep high-risk bladder cancer from coming back. About 45 people with early-stage but aggressive bladder cancer will receive this combination as their first treatment. The goal is to see if mo…

This phase III trial tests whether adding cabozantinib to avelumab (an immunotherapy) helps keep metastatic urothelial cancer from growing after initial chemotherapy. About 654 patients will receive either the combination or avelumab alone as maintenance therapy. The goal is to s…

This study looks at how well a combination of two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) works as a first treatment for people with advanced upper tract urothelial carcinoma, a rare cancer of the urinary tract. Researchers will track 50 patients in France to see how many re…

This study compares two treatments for a rare type of urinary tract cancer. One group gets chemotherapy before surgery, the other has surgery alone. The goal is to see if chemo helps shrink the tumor and improve long-term outcomes. About 120 adults with high-risk, non-spread canc…

This study tests whether giving immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab alone or with ipilimumab) before bladder cancer surgery is safe and does not delay the operation. The goal is to shrink the tumor, making surgery more effective. It involves 52 adults with muscle-invasive bladder canc…

This trial was designed to test two drugs—erdafitinib and atezolizumab—for people with muscle invasive bladder cancer who cannot take the standard chemotherapy drug cisplatin. Erdafitinib targets a specific gene change that can drive cancer growth, while atezolizumab helps the im…

This study compares giving chemotherapy before surgery versus surgery alone for patients with upper tract urothelial cancer. About 120 participants will be assigned to one of two groups based on their choice and doctor's evaluation. The goal is to see if the chemo-surgery combo l…

This study is testing whether a urine test that looks for DNA markers can help diagnose and monitor upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC), a rare cancer of the kidney and ureter. Researchers will collect urine samples from 50 patients before surgery and during follow-up visits. Th…

This study compares two imaging techniques—CT urography (CTU) and intravenous urography (IVU)—in 133 bladder cancer patients to see if CTU alone can effectively monitor the disease. Researchers want to determine if CTU provides clear enough images of the urinary tract to replace …
