BLADDER CANCER

This trial tests whether combining two drugs—disitamab vedotin and toripalimab—with or without pelvic lymph node removal can help people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer keep their bladder. Participants, who have HER2-positive tumors and decline bladder removal surgery, will r…

This trial tests a new tool called CURTIS, designed to safely remove bladder tumors in one intact piece after they are cut out during surgery. The goal is to see how often the device can successfully retrieve the tumor without breaking it apart, and what the largest tumor size is…

This trial asks whether some people with intermediate-risk bladder cancer can safely skip chemotherapy after having their tumor removed. Doctors will use a urine test before surgery to find patients whose tumors are unlikely to shed detectable signals. These patients will then be…

This early-stage trial tests an experimental medicine called BI 3822971 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid cancers, such as lung, head and neck, breast, esophageal, bladder, vulvar, or cervical cancer, who have no standard treatment options left. The goal is to find out …

This trial tests whether a newer surgical method called en bloc resection, which removes bladder tumors in one piece, works better than the standard piecemeal approach for people with intermediate- or high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. All participants also receive a y…

This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence system can help surgeons better see and remove bladder tumors during a standard procedure called TURBT. The AI analyzes the live video from the surgical camera and highlights suspicious areas and recommended cutting edges on the…

This study tests a personalized approach for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are scheduled for bladder removal surgery. Before treatment, a small sample of the tumor is used to grow cell clusters in the lab. These clusters are tested against different drugs to find…

This phase II trial compares a new targeted drug, sacituzumab tirumotecan (Sac-TMT), to other antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in people with advanced urothelial carcinoma (bladder cancer) that has worsened after prior treatment. The main goal is to see if Sac-TMT causes less seve…

This early-stage trial tests a new drug called ATO-101 for a type of bladder cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments. The drug delivers a short-range radioactive particle directly into the bladder to kill cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. About 24 patients wi…

This study tests a treatment called HIVEC, which delivers heated chemotherapy directly into the bladder. It is for people with a type of bladder cancer that has not responded to standard therapy and who cannot have their bladder removed. The goal is to see if this approach is saf…

This study tests a new combination of the drug entinostat plus standard chemotherapy for people with advanced bladder cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and has not responded to first-line treatment. About 29 participants will receive the combination to see if…

This study will test an artificial intelligence system that screens for breast, liver, kidney, and bladder cancers using standard CT scans taken for other reasons. Researchers plan to enroll 100,000 participants to see if the AI can catch tumors earlier and help doctors reduce mi…

This trial is testing whether a breath analysis device can detect unique chemical patterns—called volatile organic compounds—that may signal the presence of cancer. Researchers will collect breath samples from 1,000 people with various cancers and 1,000 healthy volunteers, then u…

This pilot study is testing whether an artificial intelligence-assisted catheter camera system, called Uro-Cam, can safely and accurately detect bladder cancer. Adults with blood in their urine, abnormal urine cytology, or a history of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer will unde…

This early-stage study will test a new radioactive tracer called [89Zr]DFO-YS5 in 40 people with nerve sheath tumors, bladder cancer, or other advanced solid tumors. The tracer is designed to bind to cancer cells and show up on PET scans, potentially making tumors easier to see. …

This study explores whether analyzing tumor DNA in urine can be a simple, non-invasive way to monitor prostate and bladder cancer. Researchers will collect urine samples from 25 patients at different treatment stages to see if the test can detect cancer mutations and track change…

This study tests a urine test (Xpert Bladder Cancer Detect) to see if it can accurately identify people with hidden blood in their urine who are at higher risk for bladder cancer. About 1,475 adults over 40 will provide a urine sample and answer symptom questionnaires, then under…

This study tests whether a special PET scan (FAPI PET) and simple urine tests can better determine the stage of bladder cancer compared to standard methods. About 262 adults with bladder cancer will receive the scan and provide urine samples before treatment. The goal is to see i…

This study looks at whether a prehabilitation program—including physical therapy, dietary advice, and emotional support—given before major cancer surgery can reduce deaths and serious complications within 30 days after the operation. About 180 adults with cancers of the pancreas,…

This study tests a newer, more precise radiation method (adaptive radiotherapy) for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who cannot have surgery or choose not to. The goal is to see if this technique reduces bowel side effects like diarrhea compared to standard radiation. A…

This study tests whether small changes—like playing calming music, showing a relaxing video, or giving numbing gel at the right time—can reduce pain and anxiety during a bladder cancer exam or treatment. About 378 adults with bladder cancer will be randomly assigned to receive on…

This study will include 2,600 adults scheduled for bladder tumor surgery. Half will get a standard urine culture before surgery; the other half will not. The goal is to see if skipping the test leads to more fevers or infections in the month after surgery. If it's safe, it could …

This study will test a special AI program called UroMed AI Doctor, designed to help with urology care. Researchers will compare AI-assisted care to traditional care from a specialist for patients with kidney stones, enlarged prostate, or bladder cancer. The goal is to see if the …

This study examines stored tumor samples from 100 bladder cancer patients who had their bladder removed. Researchers will measure the amount of supportive tissue, immune cells, and immune clusters near the tumor. The goal is to see if these features are linked to how long patient…

This study will follow 600 people with early-stage solid cancers (like lung, head and neck, melanoma, or bladder cancer) who are receiving immunotherapy before surgery. Researchers will collect blood and tumor samples at several time points to see how the immune system responds. …
