This phase II trial tests whether adding cabozantinib to the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can prevent mucosal melanoma from returning after surgery. About 101 patients with resected mucosal melanoma will receive either nivolumab alone or nivolumab plus cabozantinib. The study aim…

This phase 2 trial is testing a combination of two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab, in 798 people with over 50 types of rare cancers. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink tumors by helping the immune system attack cancer cells. Participants receive the drugs…

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 tests whether adding the chemotherapy drug eribulin to the immunotherapy atezolizumab works better than atezolizumab alone for people with advanced or spreading bladder cancer who cannot take standard cisplatin chemo. About 72 adults with recurrent or metastatic urothe…

This study tests a special balloon coated with the drug paclitaxel to treat urethral stricture, a narrowing of the urine tube in men. The balloon is inflated to open the stricture and deliver the drug to prevent it from closing again. The trial involves 127 men who have had at le…

This early-phase trial is testing a combination of two drugs—erdafitinib and enfortumab vedotin—in 24 people with advanced bladder cancer that has spread and has specific FGFR2/3 gene changes. Erdafitinib blocks a faulty protein that helps cancer grow, while enfortumab vedotin de…

This early-phase study tests a combination of two or three drugs (cabozantinib, nivolumab, and sometimes ipilimumab) in people with advanced genitourinary cancers that have spread. The main goals are to find the safest doses and understand side effects. About 152 adults with vari…

This early-phase trial tests a combination of three drugs—bortezomib, gemcitabine, and doxorubicin—in people with advanced urothelial cancer or other solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. The main goal is to find the highest safe dose of the two chemotherapy drugs when …

This study looks at whether people with advanced bladder cancer can stop taking immunotherapy drugs (like pembrolizumab or nivolumab) after about a year instead of continuing indefinitely. The goal is to see if stopping early leads to similar survival rates while reducing side ef…

This study tests whether adding tocilizumab (a drug used for arthritis) to standard immunotherapy can reduce severe side effects in people with advanced melanoma, lung cancer, or bladder cancer. About 35 participants will receive all three drugs. The goal is to see if the combina…

This early-phase trial is testing whether giving two immunotherapy drugs (durvalumab and tremelimumab) before surgery can help patients with aggressive bladder cancer who cannot take standard chemotherapy. The study involves 54 participants and primarily looks at safety and how t…

This study tests a new surgical technique called double-face augmentation urethroplasty for men with severe, long urethral strictures (narrowing of the urine tube). The procedure uses a graft taken from the inside of the cheek (buccal mucosa) to widen the urethra from both sides.…

This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding propranolol, a common blood pressure drug, to standard immunotherapy can help control advanced bladder cancer. The study enrolled 6 adults with urothelial carcinoma that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. Researchers are prima…

This early-stage trial tests a new drug called DECOY20, which is designed to wake up the immune system to fight cancer. It is being tested alone or with another drug (tislelizumab) in 120 adults with advanced solid tumors like liver, lung, or colorectal cancer. The main goals are…

This early-phase trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard platinum-based chemotherapy can help people with rare, aggressive small cell or neuroendocrine cancers of the bladder or prostate. The study includes 15 participants whose cancer has spre…

This phase 2 trial tested a combination of four chemotherapy drugs (5-FU, leucovorin, gemcitabine, and cisplatin) in 46 people with advanced or inoperable adenocarcinoma of the bladder, urethra, or urachus. The goal was to see how many patients' tumors shrank or disappeared. Rese…

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 looks at the best time to remove a Foley catheter after bulbar urethroplasty, a surgery to fix a narrowed urethra. Researchers will compare removing the catheter at 7-10 days versus 18-21 days in 320 adult men. The goal is to see if earlier removal leads to similar rat…

This study examines stored tumor samples from 15 people with kidney or bladder cancer who initially responded to immune checkpoint therapy but later developed new tumors. Researchers will compare the genetic and tissue features of the original and new tumors to understand how the…

This small phase II trial is studying whether specific gene mutations (ARID1A and KDM6A) and a protein called CXCL13 can predict how well patients with advanced bladder cancer respond to the immunotherapy drug nivolumab. Six participants with metastatic urothelial cancer whose tu…
