Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Transitional Cell"

This pilot study will explore the relationship of Ochratoxin A (OTA) levels in patients with upper tract transitional cell (TCC), renal cell, and testicular cancers by measuring levels of OTA in serum and tumor samples. Dietary exposure will also be analyzed.

The investigators evaluated the efficacy of a single early intravesical instillation of doxetaxel in the prevention of bladder recurrence after nephroureterectomy or distal ureterectomy for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUT-UC).

To validate ELISAs for the detection of urinary tissue factor (TF) in patients suspected of having bladder cancer.

We hope to determine the importance of different genes (including B receptors) in anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. This has important benefits to patients exposed to anthracyclines, as this could help determine whether certain individuals have increased susceptibility to cardiac injury.

The main purpose is to study the safety and effectiveness of atezolizumab in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma whose disease has worsened during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy, or within 12 months of receiving platinum-containing chemotherapy, either before (neoadjuvant) or after (adjuvant) surgical treatment in common clinical practice settings in Argentina.

Early detection of bladder cancer (BCa) is considered an effective strategy to curb mortality from the disease. However, current urinary biomarkers have insufficient specificity to warrant BCa screening. Urine free glycosaminoglycan profiles (or GAGomes) are promising noninvasive biomarkers of cancer metabolism. In this study, samples are obtained from patients with BCa and controls to compare the glycosaminoglycan profiles between groups.

This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy of single immediate intravesical chemotherapy instillation in the prevention of bladder recurrence after nephroureterectomy for primary upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients.

Documentation of data concerning tolerability and efficacy of the intravenous treatment with vinflunine performed under daily routine conditions in Germany. The trial focusses on tolerability including the assessment of the usage of anti-emetic and anti-obstipative concomitant treatment as well as on the efficacy of the treatment.

This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy of single immediate intravesical chemotherapy instillation in the prevention of bladder recurrence after diagnostic ureteroscopy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients.

To assess the persistence of bladder cancer-specific biomarkers in urine collected pre-operatively, in resected cancer tissue, and in urine collected post-operatively. A panel of sensitive and specific bladder cancer biomarkers will be used to establish a signature of disease in pre-operative patients with a positive diagnosis for bladder cancer by current standard of care (e.g., in-office cystoscopy, OR cystoscopy). The specificity of these markers will be assessed, as well as the degree of non-specific signal attributable to other sources of biomolecules, by analyzing resected tumor tissue for the same biomarkers. Finally, post-operative urine will be assessed for the presence of these markers. To the extent this biomarker panel can be determined to be specific and sensitive, it may serve as an indicator of the degree to which the surgical intervention successfully eradicated the underlying disease. The investigators also aim to assess the stability of a biomarker signature in urine but evaluating several patient specimens over various time points throughout the day.
