Filter by:The standard treatment of muscle invasive bladder cancer is to administer chemotherapy for approximately 3 months then to have surgery to remove the bladder. Chemotherapy may reduce the size of the cancer in your bladder before surgery and can also help to reduce the chance that your bladder cancer will come back (metastasize) in other parts of your body after bladder surgery. This study will involve testing cisplatin in lower weekly doses with gemcitabine.The purpose of this study is to test the effects, good and bad, of low dose weekly cisplatin and gemcitabine.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of RX-3117 in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors (Phase 1). The purpose of the Phase 2 portion is to estimate anti-tumor activity in subjects with advanced malignancies (relapsed or refractory pancreatic or advanced bladder cancer).
By an invasive technique keratin 14 has been identified as a prognostic factor in bladder cancer. This study aims to analyze whether through a non-invasive technique keratin 14 can be used as a diagnostic and prognostic marker for this 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.
Phase I/II study: Phase 1 is an open-label, safety study, patients who previously received 3-6 instillations of weekly intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) induction therapy (as standard of care) followed by low dose intradermal (1*10^6 cells) HS-410 monotherapy. Phase 2, patients will be randomized to one of three blinded (physician-patient), placebo-controlled groups and receive either intradermal placebo or low dose (1*10^6 cells) or high dose (1*10^7 cells) vesigenurtacel-L in combination with induction and maintenance intravesical BCG. Patients who do not receive BCG will be enrolled into an open-label, non-randomized group receiving high dose (1*10^7 cells) intradermal HS-410 monotherapy.
Purpose of this study is to determine appropriate dosing of ABI-009 and evaluate the safety and anti-tumor activity of ABI-009 in treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
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.
Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is the most accurate staging tool to determine lymph node involvement in prostate and bladder cancer. The main complication of PLND is development of a lymphocele, which can cause symptoms including lower abdominal pain, leg or penile/scrotal edema, bladder outlet obstruction, deep venous thrombosis or infection/sepsis. The incidence of radiographic (asymptomatic) and symptomatic lymphoceles following PLND varies between 12,6-63% and 1,6-33% respectively. Medicated sponges such as Tachosil® are indicated in surgery for improvement of haemostasis and to promote tissue sealing. They could reduce lymphocele development by increased tissue sealing, due to a mechanical effect of the sponge itself and a lymphostatic effect of the included thrombin and fibrinogen. Our goal is to prospectively assess the lymphostatic effect of Tachosil(r) in patients undergoing transperitoneal PLND with or without radical prostatectomy or PLND with bladder cancer surgery.
The purpose of the trial is to establish the tolerability of HuMax-TF-ADC in a mixed population of patients with specified solid tumors.
This study will be a single subject study to evaluate the efficacy of the HER2 kinase inhibitor, neratinib, in a patient with metastatic bladder cancer harboring a HER2-GRB7 gene fusion.
