The information contained in this Clinical Trials Resource Guide includes actively recruiting clinical studies focused on bladder cancer. These studies are researching surgical techniques, combination chemotherapy, second-line therapies, symptom management techniques, and more. All of the studies are listed on the National Institutes of Health website at ClinicalTrials.gov.
Phase I
Study Title: Ethacrynic Acid Elimination in Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Patients Undergoing Transurethral Resection
Study Type: Phase I/interventional/single-group assignment
Study Sponsor and Collaborators: University of Kansas Medical Center
Purpose: To provide quantitative characterization of the renal elimination of ethacrynic acid and metabolites in patients with nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer at the time of transurethral resection of bladder tumor
Primary Outcome Measures: (1) Urine concentration: ethacrynic acid and its conjugates [time frames: baseline at 30 minutes before surgery; during surgery; 2 hours after surgery; and 4 hours after surgery]; (2) Excretion rates: acid and its conjugates [time frames: baseline at 30 minutes before surgery; during surgery; 2 hours after surgery; and 4 hours after surgery]
Principal Investigator: Eugene K. Lee, MD, University of Kansas Cancer Center; (913) 588-7564, elee@kumc.edu
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02852564

Study Title: A Phase I/1b Study of Enzalutamide in Combination With Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in Bladder Cancer
Study Type: Phase I/interventional/single-group assignment
Study Sponsor and Collaborators: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute
Purpose: To determine the dose of enzalutamide that can be safely given in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with advanced bladder cancer
Primary Outcome Measures: Maximum tolerated dose [time frame: up to 6 months]
Principal Investigator: Jingsong Zhang, MD, PhD, H. Lee Moffitt; (813) 745-6454, jingsong.zhang@moffitt.org
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02300610
Phase II
Study Title: Phase II Trial of Estrogen Receptor–Targeted Treatment of Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer With Tamoxifen
Study Type: Phase II/interventional/single-group assignment
Study Sponsor and Collaborators: Baylor College of Medicine, National Cancer Institute
Purpose: To evaluate the treatment of tamoxifen in low/intermediate-risk bladder tumors
Primary Outcome Measures: Evaluation of the efficacy for treatment of low/intermediate-risk bladder tumors, assessing for the clinical response of the marker lesion [time frame: 4 years]
Principal Investigator: Guilherme Godoy, MD, Baylor College of Medicine; (713) 798-4001, godoy@bcm.edu
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02197897

Study Title: A Randomized, Prospective, Phase II Study to Determine the Efficacy of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) Given in Combination With PANVAC vs BCG Given Alone in Adults With High-Grade Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Who Failed at Least One Induction Course of BCG
Study Type: Phase II/interventional/parallel assignment
Study Sponsor and Collaborators: National Cancer Institute, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey
Purpose: To test PANVAC on people with high-grade nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer. Investigators will give it to people who have not responded to the usual treatment BCG over several weeks to determine whether PANVAC plus BCG is more effective than BCG alone.
Primary Outcome Measures: Improvement in disease-free survival with BCG and PANVAC compared with BCG alone [time frame: 4–5 years]
Principal Investigator: Piyush K. Agarwal, MD, National Cancer Institute; (301) 496-6353, agarwalpk2@mail.nih.gov
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02015104
Phase III
Study Title: A Prospective, Open-Label Randomized Clinical Trial of a Single Bladder Instillation of Mitomycin C vs Gemcitabine vs No Additional Treatment Immediately After Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor
Study Type: Phase III/interventional/parallel assignment
Study Sponsor and Collaborators: Spectrum Health Hospitals
Purpose: To compare the efficacy of mitomycin C vs gemcitabine vs no adjuvant treatment as a single intraoperative instillation in preventing recurrence of bladder cancer
Primary Outcome Measures: Efficacy measured by the number of patients with grades 3–5 adverse events, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.03 [time frame: 2 years]
Principal Investigator: Richard J. Kahnoski, MD, Spectrum Health Hospitals; contact Susan M. Engerman, BSN, (616) 267-8406, susan.engerman@spectrumhealth.org
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02695771

Study Title: Prevention of Parastomal Hernia Following Radical Cystectomy and Ileal Conduit Using Biologic Mesh: Randomized Clinical Trial
Study Type: Phase III/interventional/parallel assignment
Study Sponsor and Collaborators: University of Southern California, National Cancer Institute, Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation
Purpose: To study how well biologic mesh works in preventing parastomal hernia in patients with bladder cancer who are undergoing radical cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion
Primary Outcome Measures: Rate of development of a clinical or radiologic parastomal hernia [time frame: up to 2 years]
Principal Investigator: Hooman Djaladat, MD, MS, University of Southern California; contact Ileana Aldana, (323) 865-0702, ileana.aldana@med.usc.edu
