Filter by:This is a single-armed, multicenter, non-blinded phase 2 study to assess efficacy of induction ipilimumab + nivolumab followed by chemoradiation to spare the bladder in urothelial bladder cancer.
Bladder Cancer (BCa) is the 9th most common cancer worldwide. In general, BCa is presented as a non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) in 70% of patients and treated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT). However, in cases of muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), radical cystectomy (RC) is the gold standard of treatment. Therefore, It is important to distinguish MIBC from NMIBC. To date, pathologic staging is based on the result of TUR-BT before RC. However, it is operator dependent, thus residual cancer may be remained depending on surgical experience. Therefore, about 7%-30% patients of MIBC can be underestimated with NMIBC, and it can be increased to 45% if the muscle is not resected. Consequently, it has been raised the need for imaging test to overcome diagnostic limitations. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has been widely used in the field of diagnosis of BCa. In 2018, the Vesical Imaging Report and Data System (VI-RADS) was published using T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) imaging, and 5-point VI-RADS scoring system has been proposed and reported as an imaging test useful for assessing muscle involvement in primary bladder cancer Therefore, in this study, we investigate the diagnostic performance of the VI-RADS scoring system that can differentiate NMIBC from MIBC in primary bladder cancer.
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding cabozantinib to avelumab versus avelumab alone in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib and avelumab together may further shrink the cancer or prevent it from returning/progressing.
Eight in ten patients will develop bowel problems during radiotherapy, eg diarrhoea, pain and incontinence, half will develop difficult long-term bowel problems. It is not known why some people get bowel problems and others do not and there is no test to predict who will develop bowel problems following their treatment. There is a link between the changes in the number and type of gut bacteria (the microbiome) in some bowel conditions and it is possible to test for these different bacteria in a simple stool sample using genetic testing. Also gut bacteria produce different gases in the stool called "volatile organic compounds" (VOCs), which can be measured in stool samples. Specific VOC patterns have been seen in other bowel conditions and small studies suggesting that there are specific VOC and gut bacteria patterns in the stool of those undergoing pelvic radiotherapy which may help to identify people who will get difficult bowel problems. Diet can change the microbiome/VOCs so diet change could improve bowel symptoms after radiotherapy. The investigators would like to test stool samples of patients with womb, cervix or bladder cancer having pelvic radiotherapy to see if there are differences in the number/type of gut bacteria and VOCs between those who get severe bowel symptoms compared to those with mild bowel symptoms. They also want to see whether these differences in VOCs or gut bacteria can tell who will develop severe bowel symptoms during or after radiotherapy and determine the effect of diet. The first step is to run the study on a small scale to confirm that a larger study would work. This will make sure the investigators can recruit and consent people safely and will test the best ways of measuring bowels symptoms using several questionnaire options. They will collect the information needed to work out how many people would be needed in a large trial to fully test the theory. Ultimately, the investigators would like to use differences in the number/type of gut bacteria and VOCs to find ways to better prevent and treat bowel problems after pelvic radiotherapy.
This phase II trial investigates the side effects of tocilizumab, ipilimumab, and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, or urothelial carcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Tocilizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the immune system to decrease immune-related toxicities. Giving tocilizumab, ipilimumab, and nivolumab may kill more tumor cells.
This is a phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of tislelizumab when given in combination with nab-paclitaxel as perioperative treatment in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) prior to cystectomy or complete TURBT. Patients will receive treatment with tislelizumab in combination with nab-paclitaxel every 3 weeks for 3 treatment cycles over 9 weeks followed by standard radical cystectomy or complete TURBT.
This research study will assess what doses of Sacituzumab Govitecan and Enfortumab Vedotin can be safely combined in the treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). The names of the study drugs in this investigational combination are: - Enfortumab Vedotin - Sacituzumab Govitecan
The purpose of this study is to assess the antitumor efficacy and safety of perioperative enfortumab vedotin (EV) plus pembrolizumab and radical cystectomy (RC) + pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) compared with the current standard of care (neoadjuvant chemotherapy [gemcitabine plus cisplatin] and RC + PLND) for participants with MIBC who are cisplatin-eligible. The primary hypothesis is perioperative EV and pembrolizumab and RC + PLND (Arm A) will achieve superior event free survival (EFS) compared with neoadjuvant gemcitabine + cisplatin and RC + PLND (Arm B).
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multi-center, single arm basket study evaluating the administration of lerapolturev ± anti programmed cell death protein 1 (PD 1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD L1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) (which will be referred to throughout this protocol as "anti-PD-1/L1 therapy") therapy in adult patients with solid tumor cancers. Non-muscle invasive Bladder Cancer has been selected as the tumor specific cancer of interest for enrollment.
The purpose of this study is to refine and pilot test educational material developed to educate and support patients receiving immunotherapy for advanced cancer. The intervention is an educational video and question prompt list (QPL) to promote communication between patients, caregivers, and the oncology team about the risks and benefits of immunotherapy.
