MUSCLE-INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER

This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to standard chemotherapy before and after bladder cancer surgery is safe and effective. About 150 people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer will receive durvalumab plus either ddMVAC or gemcitabine/cisplatin chemo…

This study tests whether two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, can control muscle-invasive bladder cancer without needing to remove the bladder. About 390 adults whose cancer hasn't spread outside the bladder will receive either the drug combo or standard chemoradiatio…

This phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab can help people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer avoid bladder removal. About 240 adults who are candidates for surgery will receive the drugs intravenously. The main goals are to see how ma…

This study tests whether giving two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) before bladder cancer surgery can eliminate cancer in the lymph nodes and shrink tumors. About 23 adults with advanced bladder cancer that has spread to lymph nodes will receive the combination befor…

This study tests a drug called erdafitinib, placed directly into the bladder using a special delivery system, for people with non-muscle-invasive or muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The trial has four parts to find the best dose and check safety and effectiveness. About 235 partic…

This early-stage study tests a new drug called 2141-V11 in people with a type of bladder cancer that hasn't responded to standard therapy. The drug is given directly into the bladder through a catheter or by injection into the tumor. The main goal is to see if it's safe and to fi…

This phase 2 trial tests whether combining two drugs—sacituzumab govitecan and nivolumab—after surgery can keep high-risk bladder cancer from coming back. About 23 adults who had their bladder or part of their urinary tract removed will receive the drugs intravenously. The main g…

This study looks at whether a thorough health check (comprehensive geriatric assessment) before bladder cancer surgery can help older, frail patients recover faster. About 140 people aged 65 and older will be enrolled. The goal is to see if personalized care plans reduce complica…

This study tests whether growing a patient's tumor cells in the lab (organoids) can help doctors choose the most effective chemotherapy after bladder cancer surgery. Researchers will compare survival rates of patients whose chemo was guided by organoid tests versus standard care.…

This early-stage trial tests a modified virus called KD01, given directly into the bladder, to see if it is safe and can fight bladder cancer. The study includes 29 patients with either high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer or muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Some patients …

This phase 2 trial tests erdafitinib alone or with cetrelimab before surgery in 90 people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has specific gene changes (FGFR). Participants cannot take standard cisplatin chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the drugs can eliminate or shrink t…

This study tests a combination of the drug enfortumab vedotin and radiation therapy given before surgery for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It is for patients who cannot receive standard cisplatin chemotherapy. The trial will test three different schedules of the drug and radiat…

This study compares three imaging methods—FAPI PET/MRI, FDG PET/MRI, and MRI—to see which best detects muscle-invasive bladder cancer and tracks how well pre-surgery treatment works. Researchers will enroll 80 participants with suspected or confirmed bladder cancer. The goal is t…

This study is testing whether a special MRI scan (mpMRI) can accurately diagnose muscle-invasive bladder cancer without needing an invasive biopsy (TURBT). Researchers will compare the MRI results to the biopsy results in 30 adults with suspected muscle-invasive bladder cancer. I…

This study is testing a new urine test that might find returning bladder cancer earlier and more accurately than current urine tests. The goal is to see if this test can reduce the need for cystoscopy, a procedure where a tiny camera is inserted into the bladder. About 300 adults…

This study compares a new diagnostic approach—using an MRI plus a same-day biopsy—against the standard procedure (TURBT) for diagnosing muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Researchers will enroll 360 adults suspected of having this aggressive cancer. The goal is to see if the new met…

This early-phase study tests a new MRI technique that uses two contrast agents (gadobutrol and ferumoxytol) placed directly into the bladder to improve staging of bladder cancer. Researchers will compare MRI images to actual tumor samples from surgery to see if the scan can accur…

This study looks at whether walking 8,000 to 10,000 steps each day for four weeks before bladder cancer removal surgery can lower the chance of problems after the operation. About 146 adults with bladder cancer who are scheduled for surgery will take part. Half will be asked to i…

This study tests a program of exercise, protein drinks, and mind-body activities like yoga for people aged 65 and older with advanced ovarian or pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if patients can stick with the program while on chemotherapy before surgery. The study is small, …

This study is testing a new way to choose chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Doctors will grow a miniature version of a patient's tumor in the lab (called an organoid) and test different drugs on it to see which works best. Then, the patient receives the drug that k…

This study collects blood and leftover tissue samples from 9,600 people with various cancers, including breast, lung, and pancreatic cancer. Researchers will use these samples to improve tests that look for cancer DNA in the blood. The goal is to better detect if cancer returns o…

This trial is investigating whether chemotherapy given before bladder removal surgery affects how accurate MRI scans are at staging muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Researchers will compare MRI results with actual tumor findings after surgery in 76 participants who either received…
