Active clinical trials for "Urinary Bladder Neoplasms"

Patients with superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder will be treated with intravesical suramin in a phase I dose escalating study. The toxicity of suramin administered in this fashion will be evaluated.

This study examines at-home monitoring of patient-generated phsyiologic health data and patient-reported outcomes. Patient-generated health data using at-home monitoring devices and smart device applications are used more and more to measure value and quality in cancer care. This trial may show whether at-home monitoring programs can improve the care of patients after hospital discharge from surgery.

This research study is studying a new anti-cancer drug durvalumab (MEDI4736) with or without another new anti-cancer drug Oleclumab (MEDI9447) before surgery for bladder cancer. The drugs involved in this study are: Durvalumab (MEDI4736) Oleclumab (MEDI9447)

To confirm the benefit of endoscopic resection under fluorescence and blue light of high grade non-muscle invasive bladder tumor, and verifying if the second endoscopic resection recommended nowadays can be deleted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of RX-3117 in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors (Phase 1). The purpose of the Phase 2 portion is to estimate anti-tumor activity in subjects with advanced malignancies (relapsed or refractory pancreatic or advanced bladder cancer).

To date, fluorescence and narrow band imaging cystoscopy have been tested in many prospective within patient trials but only as an "add on" procedure. This results in a bias that does not allow to determine the real impact of such innovative technologies on bladder cancer management. Hereby we propose the first prospective randomized trial which compares narrow band imaging trans urethral resection as a stand alone procedure versus white light transurethral resection. The primary end point is to assess the recurrence rate of bladder cancer lesions with each treatment modality. The study is designed to disclose an inferior recurrence rate (estimated 10%) in the group treated by narrow band imaging transurethral resection respect to the control group, treated by standard transurethral resection.

The goal of this clinical research study is to evaluate how many lymph nodes are left behind after robotic-assisted removal and are then found after a wider incision is made, in patients who are having their bladder removed for the treatment of bladder cancer. The primary objective is to compare the lymph node yield achieved by performing a robotic-assisted laparoscopic extended pelvic lymph node dissection (RA-PLND) compared to a second-look open lymph node dissection (O-PLND) among patients undergoing radical cystectomy for transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The secondary objectives will be to collect prospective outcomes data related to the performance of RA-PLND and robotic-assisted cystectomy (RA-C) including operative times, estimated blood loss, transfusions, complications, return to diet, utilization of pain medication, hospital length, return to regular activities.

This is a prospective, randomized study of two types of continent ileal neobladder construction in patients undergoing cystectomy for primary bladder cancer. Patients will be randomly assigned to have either a T-pouch or a Studer pouch constructed at the time of their surgery. They will be followed long-term to determine the relative advantages and disadvantages of the two types of diversion. The investigators' hypothesis is that the inclusion of an antireflux mechanism in the T-pouch will result in significantly fewer episodes of symptomatic urinary tract infection, and will have a lower incidence of upper tract dilation and loss of renal function over the long term.

The main objective of the CanMoRe study is to evaluate the impact of a standardized and individually adapted exercise intervention in Primary Health Care aiming at improving physical function (primary outcome) and habitual physical activity, health related quality of life, fatigue and psychological well-being in patients undergoing radical cystectomy due to urinary bladder cancer.

Based on current evidence, we hypothesize that eTURB represents an improvement in the surgical management of NMIBC. The resection is more precise and complete compared to cTURB. Moreover, the quality of an en-bloc specimen, including the tumor with its adjacent bladder wall layers, allows an accurate pathological review which leads to correct risk allocation and therapy. To answer these questions, we designed a RCT comparing eTURB with cTURB. Primary outcome of our study will be the accuracy of pathological staging assessment measured by the presence of detrusor muscle in the specimen as a surrogate parameter for quality of resection.
