Active clinical trials for "Urinary Bladder Neoplasms"

In laboratory and clinical studies, intravesical electromotive drug administration increased mitomycin bladder uptake, improving clinical efficacy in high-risk non-muscle invasive urothelial bladder cancer. The investigators' aim was to compare transurethral resection of bladder tumor and adjuvant intravesical electromotive mitomycin with transurethral resection and adjuvant intravesical passive diffusion mitomycin and transurethral resection alone in patients with primary stage pTa-pT1 and grade G1-G2 urothelial bladder cancer Patients will be randomly assigned to: transurethral resection alone, transurethral resection and adjuvant intravesical 40 mg passive diffusion mitomycin dissolved in 50 ml sterile water infused over 60 minutes once a week for 6 weeks, or transurethral resection and adjuvant intravesical 40 mg electromotive mitomycin dissolved in 100 ml sterile water with 23 mA pulsed electric current for 30 minutes once a week for 6 weeks. Patients in the intravesical adjuvant electromotive and passive diffusion mitomycin groups who are disease-free 3 months after induction treatment, will be scheduled to receive monthly intravesical instillation for 10 months, with the same dose and methods of infusion as initial assigned treatment. All patients will be assessed for safety. The investigators' primary endpoints are recurrence rate and disease-free interval. Analyses will be done by intention to treat.

This pilot trial studies how well nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin works in treating patients with cancer that as has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced cancer) and that has an abnormality in a protein called mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Patients with this mutation are identified by genetic testing. Patients then receive nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin, which may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the mTOR enzyme, which is needed for cell growth and multiplication. Using treatments that target a patient's specific mutation may be a more effective treatment than the standard of care treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine if TAR-200, an investigational drug-delivery system is safe and tolerable in patients with recurrent low or intermediate risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) between diagnosis and transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT)

The objective of the study is to compare Hexvix® flexible cystoscopy and white light flexible cystoscopy in the detection of histological confirmed bladder tumor lesions defined as dysplasia; CIS; Ta; T1; and ≥ T2 after 30 minutes intravesical instillation of Hexvix®.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best schedule of vaccine therapy with or without sirolimus in treating patients with cancer-testis antigen (NY-ESO-1) expressing solid tumors. Biological therapies, such as sirolimus, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells mixed with tumor proteins may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Infusing the vaccine directly into a lymph node may cause a stronger immune response and kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether vaccine therapy works better when given with or without sirolimus in treating solid tumors.

Objectives The primary objective is to demonstrate that in patients undergoing major urologic surgery, Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery will be significantly less in patients who have had a single shot rectus sheath block pre-operatively in addition to a post-operative rectus sheath continuous block via surgically placed catheter versus those who only have post-operative rectus sheath continuous block. Secondary outcomes will be opioid requirement intra-operatively, Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores including maximum pain score in Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and score at 24 and 48 hours, incidence and severity of nausea, number of vomiting episodes, sedation score, time to first bowel movement, time to first mobilization and duration of hospital stay.

To determine the efficacy in terms of objective response rate (ORR) of the combination of durvalumab and tremelimumab in addition with gemcitabine or in addition with gemcitabine and cisplatin in treatment-naïve patients with advanced, unresectable and/or metastatic cholangio- and gallbladder carcinoma (CCA).

The standard of care for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is radical cystectomy, which is rarely curative. Platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy is associated with an improvement in Overall Survival (OS), but only a few patients can benefit from this approach. Therefore, new neoadjuvant treatments are required for muscle- invasive bladder cancer. In this study it will be explored the activity of durvalumab plus olaparib in advanced Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder and therefore may have beneficial outcomes in the neoadjuvant setting. Adverse events associated with durvalumab and olaparib is one of the potential risks in this study. Participation in this trial, in which 6-8 weeks of preoperative treatment will be administered, is not expected to result in delays of surgery for participants. It is not foreseen that treatment with durvalumab and olaparib has a relevant impact on operability or increases the risks associated with surgery

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of trigriluzole in combination with nivolumab and pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid malignancies or lymphoma that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Trigriluzole may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving trigriluzole in combination with nivolumab and pembrolizumab may work better at treating patients with solid malignancies or lymphoma.

The main purpose of this trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of TAEST16001（TCR Affinity Enhancing Specific T cell Therapy）in the multi-line treatment failed advanced solid tumors except non small cell lung cancer,including liver cancer,gastric cancer,esophageal cancer,bone and soft tissue tumors,breast cancer, bladder carcinoma,prostate carcinoma,thyroid cancer, ovarian cancer and so on. The patients must meet the two criteria: human leukocyte antigens (HLA)-A*0201+ and NY-ESO-1 positive cells≥25% by immunohistochemistry.
