This phase II trial tested the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) alone or with another agent in 296 people with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that did not respond to standard BCG therapy. Participants received the drug intravenously every three weeks. The…

This early-stage trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called 4SCAR-T cells in 20 people with advanced bladder cancer that has spread and no longer responds to standard treatments. The cells are genetically modified to recognize and attack cancer cells. The study aims to see if…

This study tested several immunotherapy-based drug combinations in 272 people with advanced bladder cancer that had worsened after platinum chemotherapy. The goal was to see which combinations were safest and most effective at shrinking tumors or slowing the disease. Participants…

This phase 2 trial tested whether adding the immunotherapy avelumab to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine-cisplatin) helps people with advanced bladder cancer that has spread. The study planned to enroll 65 patients but was terminated early. Researchers measured tumor shrinkage a…

This early-phase trial tested the drug plinabulin combined with radiation and immunotherapy in 19 people with advanced cancers (like lung, bladder, or melanoma) that had stopped responding to standard immunotherapy. The goal was to see if the combination was safe and could shrink…

This phase 1 study tested the cancer drug pazopanib in 18 frail elderly patients (aged 75+) with metastatic cancers like kidney, lung, or breast cancer. The goal was to find the highest safe dose by starting at 400 mg daily and increasing if tolerated. The study was terminated ea…

This early-phase trial tested a new drug called nanrilkefusp alfa, which helps activate immune cells, both alone and combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab. It included 115 people with various advanced solid tumors that had stopped responding to standard treatments. The st…

This study tested an experimental drug called enfortumab vedotin, alone or with other cancer drugs, in people with advanced bladder or urinary tract cancer. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink tumors and control the disease. The trial included 348 participants but was te…

This early-phase study tested a new drug called PF-07921585, given alone or with another drug (sasanlimab), in adults with advanced solid tumors like lung, bladder, kidney, melanoma, head & neck, or colorectal cancer. The goal was to check safety and find the right dose. Only 4 p…

This early-phase trial tested an experimental drug called OC-001, given alone or with the immunotherapy avelumab, in 73 people with various advanced or metastatic cancers (like lung, breast, and bladder cancer). The main goals were to check safety and how the drug moves through t…

This early-phase study tested the safety of an oral drug called LY3405105 in 54 people with advanced solid tumors. The trial was divided into two parts to find the right dose and to see if the drug could shrink tumors. However, the study was terminated early, meaning the drug did…

This study tested whether adding the immunotherapy drug avelumab to standard radiation could help treat muscle-invasive bladder cancer in patients who cannot receive the usual chemotherapy. Fourteen participants received the combination therapy. The goal was to see if the cancer …

This small phase II study tested whether combining the chemotherapy drug docetaxel with the targeted therapy lapatinib could help patients with advanced bladder cancer that had already been treated with platinum-based chemo. Only 15 people enrolled before the study was terminated…

This phase 2 trial tested the drug tovorafenib (DAY101) in 23 people aged 12 and older with recurrent or progressive solid tumors that have specific genetic changes in the MAPK pathway. The goal was to see how many patients' tumors shrank or disappeared. The study was terminated …

This phase 2 trial tested whether adding trilaciclib (Cosela) to standard chemotherapy and avelumab could help people with advanced bladder cancer by protecting their bone marrow. The study enrolled 92 adults with untreated, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Un…

This study tested a urine test that measures a protein called DEK to help diagnose bladder cancer. It included over 1,100 people with blood in their urine or painful urination. The goal was to see if the test could accurately detect cancer without invasive procedures. However, th…

This Phase 2 trial tested a neuroscience-based technique combining memory structuring and deep vagal breathing to reduce PTSD symptoms in people with advanced, incurable cancer and their partners. The study enrolled 19 patients who had just received a terminal diagnosis. The appr…

This study followed 202 bladder cancer patients who were prescribed Adstiladrin (nadofaragene firadenovec) in real-world clinics in the US and Israel. Researchers wanted to see how often the drug led to complete remission and how long that lasted. The study was terminated early, …

This study looked at whether genetic changes found in urine could match those in tumor tissue for people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The goal was to see if a urine test could help doctors choose the best immunotherapy for each patient. The study planned to …
