Filter by:This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm investigator-initiated clinical study. It is used to evaluate the safety and efficacy of T3011 intravesical instillation in patients with BCG-failure high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC)
A bicentric, open-label randomised controlled trial (RCT) is planned to investigate whether the use of fitness wristbands in a defined preoperative period prior to radical cystectomy leads to a preoperative increase in participants' physical activity (number of steps per day) up to the day of radical cystectomy.
This clinical trial evaluates the impact of an education and navigation support tool (ENST) on patient and caregiver participation in care coordination for bladder cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), to other places in the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Patients with advanced bladder cancer tend to be older, have multiple medical conditions and often have poor access to health care. An ENST may be an effective method to improve participation in treatment decision-making and care planning among patients with locally advanced, metastatic and unresectable bladder cancer and their caregivers.
The overall goal of this study is to facilitate care improvements for bladder cancer patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease by designing and evaluating a patient need assessment screening tool to be used, in the future, as standard screening measure. Adult individuals diagnosed with Stage 4 incurable locally advanced or metastatic bladder cancer will be included in this study and asked to participate in a focus group, complete a screening tool, or complete a survey. All data collected will be linked to a study ID number and HIPAA identifiers will not be linked to study data. Identifying information (ie: name, mrn, email, phone number) will be utilized for study recruitment and identifying eligible patients. Any disclosure of the human subjects' responses outside the research would not reasonably place the subjects at risk of criminal or civil liability or be damaging to the subjects' financial standing, employability, educational advancement, or reputation.
The aim of the study is to evaluate chemogram in patients with intermediate-grade superficial bladder cancer and patients with infiltrating bladder cancer, who are likely to be treated according to the standard procedure. This project is based on the premise that treatments - notably chemotherapy - are standard, but that each cancer is unique. It is therefore necessary to personalize the treatment for each patient, while at the same time proposing an approach that is economically bearable for the healthcare system. For both types of bladder tumor, chemotherapy is used either as an alternative to immunotherapy, or as an adjuvant to surgery. Its use is therefore based on its effectiveness in reducing post-treatment recurrence.
Bladder cancer is a malignant disease that affects a large number of people worldwide. An increase in the incidence of this type of cancer has been observed in recent decades, leading to a growing interest in understanding its risk factors, clinical evolution, and possible treatment approaches. This retrospective study aims to retrospectively analyze a cohort of patients diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, in whom, after presentation at multidisciplinary oncology committees, the goal of curing the oncological disease while preserving the bladder is considered. Trimodal therapy (TMT) is the most studied bladder preservation strategy, with oncological outcomes superior to those of isolated therapies (or monotherapies) such as transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT), radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. TMT consists of complete and maximal TURBT of the bladder tumor, followed by definitive radiotherapy combined with a radiosensitizing agent. Objectives The main objective is to retrospectively analyze the effectiveness and safety of the trimodal approach in our setting. Collecting and analyzing data from patients treated in our service will provide valuable insight into clinical outcomes and treatment tolerability in this context. Materials and Methods - Study Design A retrospective study will be conducted using data from medical records of patients diagnosed with bladder cancer from 2014 to 2022 and treated with radiotherapy in our Radiation Oncology Service. Demographic data, medical history, risk factors, clinical characteristics, treatments received, and clinical outcomes will be collected. - Study Population The study population will include all patients with confirmed diagnoses of non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Bladder cancer (BLCA), with its diverse histopathological features and varying patient outcomes, poses significant challenges in diagnosis and prognosis. Postoperative survival stratification based on radiomics feature and whole slide image feature may be useful for treatment decisions to improve prognosis. In this research, we aim to develop a deep learning-based prognostic-stratification system for automatic prediction of overall and cancer-specific survival in patients with BLCA.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of mitomycin-c and gemcitabine sequential instillation in BCG unresponsive high risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if there is difference in pathological and clinical outcomes between MOSES and TFL in the transurethral laser enucleation of bladder tumors. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a difference in pathological and clinical outcomes between MOSES Holmium and Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) in the transurethral laser enucleation of bladder tumors? Participants will randomized to either TFL of MOSES arm for their bladder resection procedure.
Although neoadjuvant chemotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer has significantly improved oncological outcomes, approximately 50% of patients do not respond to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which has adverse effects on patients by causing treatment toxicity and surgical delays. Therefore, treatment tailored specifically to the individual patient based on the genetic and/or molecular profile of the patient is urgently needed. Among patients scheduled for neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the investigators should differentiate between patients who will be highly effective with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and those who will not, and preferentially select other treatments including radical cystectomy in the patients with high probability of failure to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. However, there is no standard which patients would benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This study plans to predict treatment response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer by analyzing genetic and molecular profiles of tumor tissues obtained through transurethral bladder tumor resection.
