Active clinical trials for "Urinary Bladder Neoplasms"

This phase Ib trial studies how well pembrolizumab works with combination chemotherapy in treating participants with small cell/neuroendocrine cancers of the urothelium or prostate that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes or that has spread to other places in the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, docetaxel, cisplatin, 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 pembrolizumab with platinum-based chemotherapy may work better in treating participants with small cell/neuroendocrine cancers of the urothelium or prostate.

This study is being done test to test the safety and effectiveness of durvalumab combined with tremelimumab in patients who have a rare form of cancer of the urinary tract.

Patients with urothelial high risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients will be treated with intravesical electromotive drug administration/mitomycin (EMDA/MMC) after bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) failure. Patients are scheduled for an initial 6 weekly treatments, a further 6 weekly treatments for non-responders and a followup 10 monthly treatments for responders. Complete response will be defined as histological disappearance of malignancy on bladder biopsy and resolution of abnormal cytological findings after treatment. Time to first recurrence, time to progression, overall survival, and disease-specific survival wil be estimated by use of the Kaplan-Meier method.

The purpose of the study is to assess, at control visit (V8), the ablative activity of intravesical administration of Oncofid-P-B on a papillary marker tumor on patients suffering from multiple primary and recurrent Ta G1-G2 papillary cancer of the bladder after 6 weeks of weekly study drug administration, through number and percentage of patients with Complete Response.

In this prospective randomized controlled study, the effects of obturator nerve block (ONB) on obturator reflex, incomplete resection, perforation, tumor recurrence and progression, presence of muscle tissue in the specimen, need for second transurethral resection of bladder tumours (TURBT) and postoperative complications were investigated in patients who underwent TURBT for intermediate and high risk lateral wall non-muscle invasive bladder tumours (NMIBC).

The purpose of the trial is to establish the tolerability of HuMax-TF-ADC in a mixed population of patients with specified solid tumors.

The study aims to establish the safety and toxicity of a combined intravesical mitomycin C with BCG for patients with bladder cancer.

Background: - Many cancers produce two particular proteins. The immune system can target these to attack the cancer. The PANVAC vaccine puts genes for these proteins inside a virus vaccine so the body sees the proteins as foreign invaders and attacks them. Researchers will test PANVAC on people with high grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. They will give it to people who have not responded to the usual treatment, bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) over several weeks. They want to see if PANVAC plus BCG is better than BCG alone. Objective: - To compare the effects of PANVAC plus BCG therapy, to BCG therapy alone. Eligibility: - Adults 18 and older with high grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who failed at least 1 course of BCG. Design: Participants will be screened with blood and urine tests and abdominal scans. Participants will be randomly assigned to get BCG only or BCG plus PANVAC. They will have up to 10 visits over 15 weeks. Most of these are part of usual cancer care. They will have blood and urine tests. All participants will get BCG in 6 weekly injections. One group will also get PANVAC in 5 injections over 15 weeks. Between weeks 17 and 20, participants will undergo tests of the tumor area as part of their usual care. They will have cystoscopy, exam under anesthesia, and bladder biopsy. Results will be used to evaluate the different treatments. Participants will have quarterly follow-up visits for up to 2 years.

The aim of this phase Ib/IIa study is to investigate the maximum tolerable concentration of abnobaVISCUM® Fraxini for intravesical instillation in patients with superficial bladder cancer. Secondary objectives are the local and systemic tolerability, the influence on tumor remission and the influence on the one-year recurrence rate.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of rapamycin directly on bladder tumors and the effects of rapamycin on the immune system of patients with bladder cancer.
