Active clinical trials for "Urinary Bladder Neoplasms"

This study is a prospective randomised controlled study of urinary bladder cancer patients presented to urology unit at National Cancer Institute; Cairo University.

This retrospective study aimed at assessment of different patterns (morphological and pathological) of tumor recurrence found at first evaluation after BCG induction therapy (3 months cystoscopy) for intermediate and high-risk NMIBC and its prognostic implications at a tertiary referral center.

Investigators aimed to evaluate the performance of The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer(EORTC) and the Spanish Urology Association for Oncological Treatment(CUETO) risk tables on all non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients(NMIBC), and those not treated with BCG and treated with BCG separately.

The purpose with this study is to evaluate treatment with radio chemotherapy (oxaliplatin and capecitabine) given concommitant with radiotherapy in patients with gastrointestinal tumors. The trial consists ot two separate studies; CORGI-U in patients with stomach- bile ducts- gallbladder and pancreas cancer, and CORGI-L in patients with colorectal cancer. CORGI-U will be designed as a phase-I-II-study,in which the first part will be a chemotherapy dose finding study, followed by a phase II part to establish response rates. All subjects receives radiotherapy concommitant. CORGI-L is a phase II trial, in which patients are treated with chemotherapy at fixed doses with radiotherapy concommitant.

Standard treatment for early stage bladder cancer is chemotherapy with methotrexate (M), vinblastine (V), adriamycin (A), and cisplatin (C) followed by surgical removal of any remaining cancer and the bladder with the intent of cure. The M V chemotherapy is usually given every 14 days with the AC given along each 28 days. This study looks at giving the same drugs at the same doses closer together, all drugs every 14 days, with the support of growth factor medication to promote growth of the white blood cells and platelets and allow chemotherapy to be finished sooner and surgery to be done sooner.

The purpose of this study is to find out if standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) given on a dose-dense treatment schedule (with less time between treatments) can help shrink the tumor better than standard chemotherapy given on a standard treatment schedule before the patient undergoes surgery for bladder cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well sacral nerve stimulation works in treating low anterior resection syndrome or fecal incontinence (the body's passage of stool without control) in patients with rectal cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes, or other pelvic cancer. Sacral nerve stimulation is a permanent implant that may improve bowel functions by stimulating the nerves that control the muscles related to bowel function.

Modification of the EGF signalling pathway and / or HER 2, by Lapatinib in bladder cancer.

A Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is a set of tests used to evaluate a patient's medical, social, and functional status, and can identify impairments in these domains that may not be noticed otherwise. Prior studies have shown that a CGA can accurately predict which patients are more likely to have serious side effects from cancer treatment. However, it is unknown whether interventions can be done to address the impairments found during a CGA in order to reduce the risk of these side effects. This pilot study will test the feasibility of targeted interventions for deficits identified during a CGA in patients 65 years or older with bladder cancer that have not yet started treatment.

This is an open-label, single-arm, Phase 1b/2 study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of milademetan in combination with atezolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors with confirmed homozygous CDKN2A loss and WT TP53 who have progressed on or are refractory to prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy and who, in the opinion of the Investigator, are unlikely to tolerate or derive clinically meaningful benefit from other therapy. This study will determine the recommended dose of milademetan when given in combination with atezolizumab (the combination RP2D) using a dose de-escalation safety assessment cohort (Phase 1b). Following identification of the combination RP2D, the safety profile and preliminary anti-tumor activity of the combination RP2D will be evaluated in a larger population in a dose expansion cohort (Phase 2).
