This is a randomized, open-label Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate whether suppression of Hsp27 (Heat shock protein 27) production using OGX-427, a second-generation antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), in combination with docetaxel can prolong survival time compared to docetaxel alone in participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) that are relapsed or refractory after receiving a platinum-containing regimen.
The purpose of this study is to create a registry of older patients undergoing surgical and/or medical treatment for bladder cancer. The registry will record side-effect and outcomes related to the treatment using different surveys and biological measures.
The goal of this study is to test whether the drug valproic acid can cause changes in bladder tumors that might inhibit their growth.
Based on the previous clinical experience in other cancers, and considering the absence of current standard salvage regimens, the single agent docetaxel is selected as the regimen for this phase II study. Main toxicity of docetaxel is myelosuppression. The low rate of severe myelosuppression observed in other cancer trials warrants further study in urothelial cancer. The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and activity of weekly docetaxel given as salvage therapy for advanced urothelial cancer.
To our knowledge, there are no comparative studies on bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and intravesical chemotherapy addressing quality of life (QoL) issues. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate and compare the QoL of intermediate-risk non-muscle-invasive (NMIBC) patients treated with BCG or gemcitabine.
The folate receptor is over-expressed on many types of cancer cells and new folate receptor targeted therapies are being developed to target cancer cells that over-express the folate receptor. As with other targeted therapies, it is important to develop diagnostic tests that will provide accurate information on folate receptor status and aid in selecting patients that may benefit from folate-targeted therapy.
This prospective pilot study will enroll 30 patients with cT2/T3-N0-M0 urothelial carcinoma of the bladder for whom radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection is planned. This pilot study is designed to provide preliminary information on the accuracy of [18F] Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography MRI (FDG-PET-MRI) in the staging of muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
To assess the potential association between pioglitazone and bladder cancer compared with non-pioglitazone users among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
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.
