Filter by:This is a randomized, open-label Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate whether suppression of Hsp27 (Heat shock protein 27) production using OGX-427, a second-generation antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), in combination with docetaxel can prolong survival time compared to docetaxel alone in participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) that are relapsed or refractory after receiving a platinum-containing regimen.
Background: - Cabozantinib is a drug that slows the growth of blood vessels that feed tumors. It is approved for medullary thyroid cancer. However, studies have shown that prostate and ovarian tumors respond to it. Researchers want see if cabozantinib can be a safe and effective treatment for urothelial cancer. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of cabozantinib for advanced urothelial cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have advanced urothelial cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Tumor tissue samples will also be collected. Imaging studies will also be performed. - Participants will take cabozantinib by mouth once per day on each day of a 28-day cycle. - Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. - Participants will continue to take the study drug for as long as their cancer does not worsen and side effects are not too severe.
In this phase II multicenter study, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a novel taxane-cabazitaxel as single agent second-line chemotherapy for metastatic urothelial carcinoma.
Gemcitabine plus cisplatin is standard treatment for advanced urothelial cancer. Ipilimumab has shown intriguing activity as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with clinically localized bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy. The combination of gemcitabine, cisplatin, plus ipilimumab may build on the chemosensitivity of urothelial carcinoma to produce more durable responses and improved outcomes.
Pemetrexed has demonstrated a favorable response with minimal toxicity when used as single agent as first-line and second-line treatment for advanced urothelial carcinoma. The response rates were 32% and 28% for the first-line and second-line setting, respectively. Cisplatin is one the most active chemotherapeutic agents in urothelial cancer, frequently used as combination chemotherapy such as GP (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) or MVAC (methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycin, and cisplatin). Pemetrexed and cisplatin showed favorable activity profile in advanced non-small cell lung cancer with highly favorable toxicity profile. This study is to assess the efficacy and safety of pemetrexed plus cisplatin in advanced urothelial carcinoma.
There is no accepted standard chemotherapy approved for use in the second line for patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma whose cancer has progressed on combination chemotherapy including either cisplatin or carboplatin. The chemotherapy class called taxanes, either as single agents or in combination, have demonstrated modest efficacy in small studies. Cabazitaxel is an agent in the taxane family designed to be active in the setting of acquired multi-drug resistance that arises in some tumors. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this agent in patients with urothelial carcinoma refractory compared to combination platinum based chemotherapy.
This study is being conducted to examine survival, safety, and the magnitude of the immune response induced following administration of DN24-02 in subjects with HER2+ urothelial carcinoma.
Background: - Urothelial cancer (tumors of the bladder, urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis) often responds initially to standard chemotherapy treatments, but frequently recurs and can often spread to other parts of the body. TRC105, an experimental drug that blocks the development of the new blood vessels needed for tumor growth, may be able to shrink or stabilize urothelial cancer tumors. TRC105 has been given previously to individuals with other types of cancer, and researchers are interested in determining its safety and effectiveness in treating urothelial cancer. Objectives: - To determine the safety and effectiveness of TRC105 as a treatment for metastatic urothelial cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with urothelial cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and has not responded to standard chemotherapy. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical examination, medical history, blood tests, and tumor imaging studies. - Participants will receive TRC105 intravenously once every 2 weeks on days 1 and 15 of a 28-day treatment cycle. The first dose of TRC105 will be given over a 4-hour period; participants who do not have side effects may receive the next dose over 2 hours. If the second dose is tolerated, subsequent doses can be given over at least 1 hour. - To help prevent known side effects of TRC105, participants will take two doses (one in the morning and one in the evening) of the steroid dexamethasone on the day before each infusion is scheduled. Participants may have additional dexamethasone 30 minutes before infusion, and may have the infusion slowed or stopped to adjust for side effects. - Participants will be monitored with blood samples, physical examinations, and tumor imaging studies through the cycles of treatment. - Participants will continue to take TRC105 for as long as the treatment is effective against the cancer and as long as the side effects are not severe enough to stop treatment.
This is a randomized Blinded Phase II trial of Maintenance SU011248 Versus Placebo Post Chemotherapy for Patients With Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma.
Gemcitabine and carboplatin are two standard chemotherapy drugs used to treat tumors of the urothelial tract. These drugs do not shrink tumors in all patients and when they do, it is generally for a limited amount of time. This has led scientists to look for different ways to treat cancer. New drugs have been developed to treat cancer that work differently than standard chemotherapy drugs. One new class of drugs are called 'angiogenesis-inhibitors'. These drugs attempt to decrease the blood supply to tumors. By doing so, this may limit the tumor's source of oxygen and nutrients and prevent the tumor from growing. Bevacizumab is an anti-angiogenic drug. In some other cancers such as colon cancer and lung cancer, combining bevacizumab with standard chemotherapy shrinks tumors in a greater proportion of patients and makes patients live longer than using standard chemotherapy alone. This has never been tested in urothelial cancer and we do not know if bevacizumab will have the same effects in this disease. The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the combination of gemcitabine, carboplatin, and bevacizumab has on you and your cancer.
