Filter by:This phase II trial studies the side effects of avelumab and how well it works in combination with fluorouracil and mitomycin or cisplatin and radiation therapy in treating participants with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, mitomycin, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy beams to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving avelumab with chemotherapy and radiotherapy may work better in treating participants with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
We try to assess the potential role of telomerase reverse transcriptase and MicroRNA (miR-155) in diagnosis of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer and their correlation with stage and grade of the tumor.
Electronic reporting of patient-reported outcomes with alert algorithm will be tested in a randomized trial in bladder cancer patients undergoing chemo- or immunotherapy. The clinical endpoints will be: - Quality of life - Completion of treatment - Hospital admission - Dose reductions - Survival
This phase Ib trial studies how well pembrolizumab works with combination chemotherapy in treating participants with small cell/neuroendocrine cancers of the urothelium or prostate that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes or that has spread to other places in the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, docetaxel, cisplatin, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab with platinum-based chemotherapy may work better in treating participants with small cell/neuroendocrine cancers of the urothelium or prostate.
This Phase 2b, single-arm, multicenter study evaluated the efficacy and safety of UGN-102 as primary chemoablative therapy in patients with low grade intermediate risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (LG IR NMIBC).
This is a phase 2 trial seeking to define the safety and activity of gemcitabine, cisplatin, plus nivolumab as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer and to define the role of clinical complete response in predicting benefit in patients opting to avoid cystectomy.
The standard of care for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is radical cystectomy, which is rarely curative. Platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy is associated with an improvement in Overall Survival (OS), but only a few patients can benefit from this approach. Therefore, new neoadjuvant treatments are required for muscle- invasive bladder cancer. In this study it will be explored the activity of durvalumab plus olaparib in advanced Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder and therefore may have beneficial outcomes in the neoadjuvant setting. Adverse events associated with durvalumab and olaparib is one of the potential risks in this study. Participation in this trial, in which 6-8 weeks of preoperative treatment will be administered, is not expected to result in delays of surgery for participants. It is not foreseen that treatment with durvalumab and olaparib has a relevant impact on operability or increases the risks associated with surgery
Patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who can not receive cisplatin or refuse cisplatin therapy will receive nivolumab or nivolumab/lirilumab before a planned surgical procedure called a radical cystectomy (RC) to remove the bladder. Nivolumab works by attaching to and blocking a molecule called Programmed Death-1 (PD-1). Lirilumab attaches to and blocks a group of molecules called Killer Cell Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor (KIR). PD-1 and KIR are proteins present mainly on immune system cells, and each controls part of the immune system by shutting it down. It is hoped that by binding to and inactivating these proteins, these drugs can enhance the body's ability to detect, attack and destroy cancer cells. The purpose of this research study is to see whether nivolumab alone or combination of nivolumab and lirilumab given before surgery is effective in treating people who have bladder cancer, and to examine the side effects, good and bad, associated with nivolumab and lirilumab.
This is a non-randomized, non-blinded, pilot study administering hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with Mitomycin-C in 10 men and women with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder undergoing radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection who have risk factors for tumor recurrence.
Goal-directed therapy (GDT) has been applied to various clinical settings and has been widely researched recently as a method for perioperative management of patients. Radical cystectomy is a complex surgical procedure in which the bladder is removed, followed by urinary diversion. It is an extensive and time-consuming intervention and has high probability of fluid imbalance and bleeding during surgery. We hypothesized that the application of GDT in these patients would improve clinical postoperative outcomes. Therefore, we will attempt to evaluate improvement of postoperative outcomes after applying GDT protocol based on changes in stroke volume index, cardiac index and mean arterial pressure in radical cystectomy.
