Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate if blue light cystoscopy with Cysview improves detection of tumors in patients with bladder cancer during surveillance cystoscopy, using the KARL STORZ D-Light C PDD Flexible Videoscope System. Another purpose is to investigate if Cysview and blue light is safe and effective when used repeatedly.
Randomized clinical trial aiming to assess Holmium Laser En Bloc Resection Of Bladder Tumor (HoLERBT) in comparison with Conventional Transurethral Resection Of Bladder Tumors (cTURBT) in tumor histopathological staging quality, detrusor muscle sampling in biopsy, completeness of tumor resection and peri procedure complication.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of tumors in patients treated with nivolumab and to identify features that help to predict a good or bad response to this drug.
The purpose of the trial is to establish the tolerability of tisotumab vedotin (HuMax-TF-ADC) dosed three times every four weeks (3q4wk) in a mixed population of patients with specified solid tumors.
This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety and tolerability of combining varlilumab and atezolizumab. Phase l of the study will enroll patients with a number of tumor types; Phase ll will enroll only patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).* *Note: This Study was terminated prior to initiation of Phase II
Bladder cancer is a well-recognized complication in spinal cord injury (SCI) individuals. The observed incidence rates in SCI individuals are considerably higher compared to the general population. Bladder cancer in SCI individuals tends to present at an earlier age compared to the general population. Furthermore, bladder cancer in SCI individuals is more commonly invasive and at a more advanced stage at the time of diagnosis compared to bladder cancer in the general population. Individuals with bladder cancer commonly present with hematuria and other urinary symptoms. The gold standard for diagnosis is cystoscopy. However in SCI individuals, hematuria may get attributed to catheter irritation or trauma or an urinary tract infection. Furthermore, the bladder wall commonly presents with various changes under cystoscopic examination masking the presence of a bladder wall mass. Thus, diagnosis of bladder cancer in SCI individuals can be complicate. There is a novel test available (GeneXpert® Bladder Cancer Detection, Cepheid International, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) for the measurement of mRNA bladder tumor markers in the urine. The diagnostic accuracy of this test has been investigated in non-SCI individuals with symptoms suspicious for bladder cancer. The test showed high sensitivity and specificity values and is thus a promising diagnostic or screening tool.. However, the diagnostic accuracy of the test has not yet been investigated in SCI individuals. The primary objective of the proposed study is to investigate whether urine mRNA tumor marker levels in spinal cord injury individuals with symptoms and findings suspicious for bladder cancer are a discriminator between individuals suffering from bladder cancer and those not suffering from cancer. Individuals presenting with symptoms suspicious of bladder cancer will undergo ultrasonic and cystoscopic examination of the bladder. An urine sample will be taken, and the bladder will be flushed for collecting a bladder fluid sample. In patients with bladder wall findings suspicious of cancer, a bladder wall biopsy will be taken, according to clinical standard practice. The bladder fluid and the bladder wall biopsy will be submitted for cytology and histopathology examination, respectively. Tumor mRNA levels will be measured in the urine sample.

This is a multi-institutional, randomized, placebo controlled, double-blinded phase II trial of maintenance pembrolizumab versus placebo after first-line chemotherapy in patients with metastatic urothelial cancer who have achieved at least stable disease on first-line chemotherapy.
This multicenter, prospective, single-arm, phase 3 study will assess the proportion of disease-free patients, starting from administration of the first study treatment to at least 12-months after the first treatment, and up to 2 years (the latter only in patients choosing to participate in longer-term disease-free-survival data collection).
This study aims to explore whether cancer patients can benefit from completing the Pillars4Life online coping program. This randomized control trial will have half its subject completing the program and the other half receiving standard care in order to measure whether the program is beneficial in dealing with stress, anxiety, and particularly chronic pain that often accompany a cancer diagnosis.
