Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Transitional Cell"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as FR901228 (depsipeptide), work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well FR901228 works in treating patients with advanced cancer of the urothelium that has progressed or recurred after receiving one chemotherapy regimen.

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of trastuzumab in treating patients who have previously treated, locally advanced, or metastatic cancer of the urothelium. Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with progressive regional or metastatic cancer of the urothelium. Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

Background: Metastatic urothelial carcinoma is lethal and has no cure. Response rates to current treatments are modest. Researchers want to find new strategies to treat the disease. In this study, they will test a drug called Bintrafusp alfa (M7824). The drug is a new immunotherapy that blocks the pathways that cancer cells use to stop the immune system from fighting cancer. Objective: To learn if M7824 can help the immune system's ability to fight urothelial cancer. Eligibility: People age 18 and older who have urothelial cancer that has spread to other parts of their body and they have been previously treated with chemotherapy or immunotherapy Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests. They will have imaging scans. They will have an electrocardiogram to measure heart function. Their ability to perform their normal activities will be evaluated. They may have a tumor biopsy. They will take a pregnancy test if needed. Participants will repeat some of the screening tests during the study. Treatment will be given in a series of 28-day cycles. Participants will get M7824 once every 2 weeks. It is given through an intravenous infusion. For this, a small plastic tube is put into an arm vein. They will get M7824 until their disease gets worse, they have unacceptable side effects, or they decide to stop treatment. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after treatment ends. Then they will be followed every 12 weeks in the clinic or by telephone/email. Follow-up will last indefinitely.

This study is a phase II, randomized, open-label, clinical trial including patients with muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder candidates for radical cystectomy. The study will include patients ineligible for cisplatin. Patients will be centrally randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive durvalumab plus olaparib (Arm A) or durvalumab alone (Arm B). The clinical study´s hypothesis is that for patients with muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder who are not fit for cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy, Durvalumab monotherapy will have a similar efficacy to historical chemotherapy controls and Durvalumab in combination with olaparib will be associated with an even improved efficacy results in terms of pathologic complete response (pCR).

A multicenter ambispective (retrospective and prospective) non-interventional study of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (adv/mUC) treated with avelumab in France, not impacting the treatment decision made by the treating physician and the medical management of treated patients.

Autologous cellular immunotherapy is to collect patient's own immune cells and infuse back into the patient's body after culture in vitro that can activate the anti-tumor immune response and achieve the purpose of cancer treatment. Central memory T (Tcm) cells are effective anti-tumor immune cells with long-term in vivo survival and self-renewal capacity. Combination of autologous Tcm cells immunotherapy with other therapies, such as surgery and chemotherapy, can effectively prolong the patient's life, prevent the recurrence and metastasis of cancers, and improve the quality of life of patients. This study will recruit patients with pathologically and radiographically confirmed metastatic bladder urothelial carcinoma that the efficacy is evaluated as partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) after 4 cycles of the standard first-line gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapy. Patients must have adequate hematologic and end-organ function, performance status and no contraindications to receive autologous Tcm cells immunotherapy. All participants will be treated with standard first-line gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapy before enrolment. This clinical trial was designed with a single-center randomized controlled trial. The study will recruit 56 patients that will be divided into treatment group and control group as 1:1 according to the randomization. Patients of treatment group will be treated with twice autologous Tcm cells immunotherapy after chemotherapy. These patients will be infused in 2-4×10^9 cells/100 ml after chemotherapy for 1 month, then cells will be infused as the same dose after another month. All patients will be followed up with hospital visits and telephone interviews to second-line treatment for disease progression. The observation period of patients is 24 months. The objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of autologous Tcm cells immunotherapy in patients with metastatic bladder epithelial carcinoma treated with first-line gemcitabine plus cisplatin according to the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of these patients.

BIND-014 (docetaxel nanoparticles for injectable suspension) is being studied in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma, cervical cancer, cholangiocarcinoma or carcinomas of the biliary tree and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Ferumoxytol imaging will also be investigated at US sites as an exploratory endpoint.

This phase II trial studies how well giving docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate together as second-line therapy works in treating patients with stage IV bladder cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate together may kill more tumor cells.

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of epacadostat (INCB024360) administered in combination with atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that have been previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and Stage IV urothelial carcinoma who have failed a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen. The study will be conducted in two phases. The dose escalation phase will utilize a 3 + 3 design to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or a Pharmacologically Active Dose (PAD) of the combination. This will be followed by a dose expansion phase, which will be comprised of three cohorts. Expansion Cohorts 1 & 2 will further evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics at the dose identified in phase one. Expansion Cohort 3 will evaluate the change in biomarker expression following treatment with epacadostat as monotherapy followed by epacadostat and atezolizumab administered in combination.
