Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Transitional Cell"

Bladder cancers are associated with genetic mutations that are present in the patient's bladder or urothelium, the lining of the lower urinary tract. Fibroblast growth factor (FGFR) alterations are present in approximately one in five patients with recurrent and refractory bladder cancer. This study will collect biomarker data from subjects receiving erdafitinib to further investigate the relationship between treatment with erdafitinib and clinical response, progression, and/or genetic alterations.

This research trial studies two types of tests, an ultrasound test and a biomarker test, to see how well they predict how aggressive (invasive) bladder cancer is in samples from patients with bladder cancer. The aggressiveness of a tumor means how likely it is to invade the body and spread. The ultrasound test uses a fluorescent dye and stimulates cells under a microscope to see how they respond. This may allow doctors to predict how likely the cancer cells are to spread in the body. The biomarker test uses laboratory testing of samples from patients to study genes and other molecules that may predict the cancer invasiveness. Comparing two different ways of predicting cancer aggressiveness may help doctors identify how well they work, and may eventually allow doctors to predict aggressiveness without needing to take a biopsy.

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility and efficacy of a 12-week, home-based exercise program in bladder cancer patients undergoing curative intent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and RC.

To identify preoperative predictive factors for final ureteral section invasion after radical cystotomie (RC) and to validate significant factors on an external independent cohort. The investigators retrospectively reviewed data of all consecutive RC performed for bladder cancer in 2 high-volume institutions. Clinical, pathological, and follow-up data were collected prospectively and reviewed retrospectively. Pathological evaluation was performed by 2 well-trained uropathologists in each center. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictive factors for final ureteral sections involvement. Significant factors in cohort A were validated in cohort B. Receiver operating curve and area under curve were modeled to evaluate predictive accuracy of the markers

Non-muscle invasive bladder tumor is a condition that can recur with a risk of progression to an infiltrating tumor of the muscle. Regular follow-up is therefore essential to detect any recurrence or progression of the disease as early as possible. Currently, the monitoring of this type of tumor is done by cystoscopy (examination that allows visualization of the bladder wall) associated with urinary cytology (analysis of urine to detect an abnormality). These examinations have their limits, they may not detect certain types of tumors or may be painful. To reduce the number of cystoscopies and replace urinary cytology, several urinary markers have been developed in recent years. This is the case of the Xpert® Bladder Cancer Monitor test, which is a non-invasive, in vitro diagnostic urine test dedicated to the monitoring of patients with bladder cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Xpert® Bladder Cancer Monitor test for the detection of bladder tumor recurrence, compared to reference tests.

The primary purpose of this expanded access program is to evaluate safety and tolerability of enfortumab vedotin (EV) in participants in the United States with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) who have exhausted standard of care therapies and are not eligible to participate in an ongoing EV clinical study. This program will also evaluate the efficacy of EV.

The aim of this trial is to determine the performance characteristics of the Cxbladder test for the detection of recurrent urothelial carcinoma (UC) in patients with a recent history of urinary tract UC, who have been treated according to standard practice and are undergoing routine investigative cystoscopy. The gold standard for determination of clinical truth is cystoscopy, plus any follow up investigations relating to the current visit.

The purpose of this study is to to find out if the MRI and PET scans can truly stage patients with bladder cancer. Both scans use newer ways to find out if your disease has grown beyond the bladder. The radioactive tracer used for the PET scan is called C-11 Acetate. We want to see if PET scan will be able to take a picture of the inside of your body that is better than other scans such as the CT scan and MRI. Therefore, the findings of the PET scan will be compared with other imaging studies as well as the surgical findings.

Clinical trial to evaluate the performance characteristics(sensitivity and specificity) of AnchorDx's urine DNA methylation/somatic mutation profiling assay for detecting urothelial carcinoma compared to pathology in patients.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of MitoGel in the treatment of UTUC in a human subject with low-grade UTUC which is endoscopically unresectable or rapidly recurring, and in whom nephrectomy would likely result in the need for permanent hemodialysis. The study drug would be obtained under the single patient access program approved by the FDA. The patient would then undergo instillation of MitoGel into the affected kidney. The catheter would be left indwelling in the ureter and would be externalized. The ureteral and urethral catheters would remain indwelling for the duration of the 6 treatments, which would occur twice weekly for 3 weeks or once weekly for 6 weeks. Following the final instillation, the catheters would be removed. The patient would then undergo ureteroscopic evaluation at 3 months following the final instillation of MitoGel. The total duration of study would be 3 months. The total number of study patients is 1.
