Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Transitional Cell"

OBJECTIVES OF THE TRIAL Primary objective Evaluation of efficacy in terms of progression-free survival at 9 months of the combination of intensified methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin and cisplatin with or without panitumumab as first-line treatment of advanced urothelial carcinoma in patients without Harvey nor Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog mutations. Secondary objectives To assess toxicity To assess response rate To assess overall survival To assess time to progression To study the correlation between response rate, time to progression, overall survival and biological parameters

This is a randomized, open-label Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate whether suppression of Hsp27 (Heat shock protein 27) production using OGX-427, a second-generation antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), in combination with docetaxel can prolong survival time compared to docetaxel alone in participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) that are relapsed or refractory after receiving a platinum-containing regimen.

Bladder cancer is the 4th most common cancer amongst men. If bladder cancer invades the muscle of the bladder or fails local treatments, surgical removal of the bladder (cystectomy) with creation of a new bladder from intestine is required. However, standard cystectomy affects urinary function and sexual function. The investigators are evaluating two modifications to cystectomy to determine to what extent they preserve urinary and sexual function.

This pilot phase I trial studies how well dasatinib works together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with stage III, stage IV, or endometrial cancer that has come back after a period of improvement. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving dasatinib together with paclitaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.

This is a three-part, open-label, safety, tolerability, and PK study of FPA144. Patients will be enrolled in Part 1 (A or B, dose escalation) or Part 2 (dose expansion) of the study, but not both.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of the combination of the study drug known as ramucirumab plus pembrolizumab in participants with locally advanced and unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium, or biliary tract cancer (BTC).

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab when given together with docetaxel or gemcitabine hydrochloride in treating patients with previously treated urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced) or that has spread from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body (metastatic). Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab together with docetaxel or gemcitabine hydrochloride may be a better treatment for urothelial cancer.

Gemcitabine plus cisplatin is standard treatment for advanced urothelial cancer. Ipilimumab has shown intriguing activity as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with clinically localized bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy. The combination of gemcitabine, cisplatin, plus ipilimumab may build on the chemosensitivity of urothelial carcinoma to produce more durable responses and improved outcomes.

Safety and tolerability of three regimens of intravesically administered BC-819/PEI and BCG (number of participants with AEs, discontinuations due to AEs) Recurrence after treatment with BC-819/PEI and BCG Approximately 38 patients with superficial transitional cell carcinoma TCC) of the bladder After initial evaluation and qualification, patients will be randomized to one of three treatment groups, either alternating, sequential or twice weekly

A study for patients with confirmed locally advanced or metastatic Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the bladder or upper urinary tracts who have developed progressive disease within 12 months of their platinum based chemotherapy. The study aims to compare the overall response rate of cabazitaxel treatment versus best supportive care including single agent chemotherapy.
