Filter by:This study will allow the investigators to better assess the efficiency of neoadjuvant chemotherapy before cystectomy by training a predictive model on different patient cohorts with bladder cancer.
Microbes inhabiting the urinary tract that are playing an important role in maintenance of health and the development of diseases and bladder cancer. There is correlation between initiation of bladder cancer and microbes. Urine and bladder tissues from healthy individuals and patients with bladder cancer were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing, results show abundant phylum. Next-generation sequencing technologies will be applied with whole genomic and 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing for microbiota profiling in urine and bladder tissue of male healthy individuals and patients with bladder cancer. Results will lead to prevention, diagnosis and new treatment strategies for bladder cancer.
Prospective controlled study randomized comparing bipolar enbloc versus thulium enbloc for bladder tumours
The purpose of this clinical trial is to obtain long-term follow-up information and status of bladder cancer for patients who received study treatment in the QUILT-2.005 study.
This is a single-center, randomized-controlled trial to investigate the effectiveness of an ERAS protocol compared to usual care in patients with bladder cancer undergoing ambulatory TURBT. The ERAS protocol is comprised of pre, intra and postoperative components designed to optimize each phase of perioperative care.
Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is the standard of care for high-risk patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) after transurethral tumor resection. Since 2012, global BCG shortage encouraged the search of alternative treatment for NMIBC treatment. Intravesical gemcitabine and docetaxel chemotherapy (GEM/DOCE) has shown safety and efficacy in 2 retrospective, single institution cohorts. At our institution, GEM/DOCE has been offered as an option for NMIBC in the treatment of high-risk BCG-naive patients per the protocol adapted from University of Iowa, in shortage situation. Our objective is to evaluate the efficacy of GEM/DOCE therapy.
The purpose of this prospective biospecimen collection study is to evaluate the feasibility of measuring circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in subjects with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) treated with trimodality therapy consisting of a maximal transurethral resection of bladder tumor followed by radiation and concomitant chemotherapy. Cancer cells have unique genes that determine the characteristics of tumors, such as how they will respond to different treatments. The tumor tissue will be used to determine the genes present in cancer cells. Tumor cells sometimes release fragments of DNA into the blood or urine (circulating tumor DNA or ctDNA) and measuring levels of ctDNA may be a way to monitor cancer and predict to determine which treatment works better and what will be the outcome of cancer. Urine, blood, and tumor tissue are called biospecimens. Biospecimens can help researchers understand how the human body works. Researchers may develop new tests to monitor diseases or new ways to treat diseases. Plasma and urine specimens will be collected before, during, and after the standard-of-care treatment. This study will estimate the feasibility of collecting plasma ctDNA detection in subjects with MIBC. If this information can be successfully collected and processed, the usefulness of ctDNA to predict tumor response to certain kinds of treatment or disease progression will be evaluated.
This study evaluates the general physical, emotional, and sexual function in women undergoing a radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. A radical cystectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the bladder, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and part of the vagina. This may affect sexual function in women. This study seeks to understand how radical cystectomy alters sexual function and well-being, and what factors may affect this change.
This Phase 3, multinational, single-arm, multicenter study will evaluate 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 an interventional, prospective multicenter, open-label, phase II study in patients after curative surgery for BTC in a classic adjuvant situation, consisting of a two arm feasibility pilot part with a randomized pick-the-winner design and an option to proceed into a randomized phase 2/3 trial in order to compare the winner with the current SOC (capecitabine).
