Active clinical trials for "Urinary Bladder Neoplasms"

The main objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Leukine & Neupogen to decrease the incidence of grade 3 & 4 neutropenia in the treatment of patients receiving cisplatin & gemcitabine for urothelial (bladder) cancer. All patients will receive chemotherapy with cisplatin plus gemcitabine in six 21-day cycles. Patients will also receive either Leukine (Arm A) or Neupogen (Arm B). Patient Population: 100 patients will be enrolled (n=100) in this study. Patients cannot have undergone previous chemotherapy. Approximately 50 patients will be enrolled into each treatment arm. Test Product, Dose, Mode of Administration: All patients will receive chemotherapy treatment with cisplatin (70 mg/kg) on Day 1 and gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) on Days 1, 8, & 15 of each 21-day cycle. Patients will be randomized to receive either Leukine (250 µg/m2) or Neupogen (5 µg/kg) injected under the skin on Days 2-6, 9-13, & 16-20 of each cycle. Duration of Treatment: Patients will receive a maximum of six 21-day cycles of treatment. The overall trial, including follow-up, is expected to be 3 years in duration.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Infusing chemotherapy drugs directly into the bladder may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known if surgery followed by chemotherapy is more effective than chemotherapy alone in treating bladder cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy alone with that of transurethral resection followed by chemotherapy in treating patients who have bladder cancer.

This will be an open-label, prospective, single-centre, randomised, controlled, parallel-group medical device investigation. The investigational plan will include four visits in total at the investigational site. One visit (Visit 2) will consist in the hospitalisation period and will last 3/4 days. Patients will be admitted to hospital in the day preceding the TURBT (Day -1; in case the TURBT is programmed in the morning) or in the day of the TURBT (Day 0; in case the TURBT is programmed in the afternoon) and will stay in the hospital for 3/4 days after the intervention (performed on Day 0). Patients will then be discharged, if considered as appropriate based on Investigator's judgment, following the removal of the catheter and the first clear urination. Patients will be asked to remain in the same geographic area of the investigational site up to the end of study visit.

The purpose of this study is to determine if TAR-200, an investigational drug delivery system, in combination with nivolumab is safe and tolerable in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who are scheduled for radical cystectomy (RC) during an 84-day dosing cycle induction period comprised of four consecutive 21-day dosing cycles.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with bladder cancer undergoing surgery. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This trial is for people with bladder cancer that has spread. The purpose of this research study is to see if the chemotherapy combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin plus paclitaxel is safe and effective treatment for bladder cancer. Paclitaxel, gemcitabine and cisplatin have all been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Gemcitabine and cisplatin is a standard treatment for bladder cancer. There have been studies that show that paclitaxel and cisplatin have antitumor activity in bladder cancer. European researchers studied paclitaxel, gemcitabine and cisplatin (same drug combination in this trial) and found that the combination provided good disease control and was well tolerated. Investigators are studying the same drug combination, but at different dosages and schedule.

The purpose of the ATLAS study is to determine how patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma respond to treatment with rucaparib.

This study, BC-819-18-204, is a Phase 2, open-label, monotherapy, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial of BC-819 (inodiftagene vixteplasmid) in patients with NMIBC adequately treated with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) whose disease is BCG unresponsive according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance.

This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein before surgery in treating patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, prostate cancer, or kidney cancer. Recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein may block an enzyme needed for tumor cells to multiply and may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that bring nutrients to the tumor. Giving recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

This is a global, randomized, controlled, open-label Phase 3 study designed to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of UGN-102 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution with or without (±) transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) versus TURBT alone for the treatment of patients with low grade intermediate risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG IR NMIBC).
