Urologic Cancer Clinical Trials

Cystectomy with urinary diversion (ileal conduit, orthotopic ileal bladder substitute, continent catheterizable pouch) is the best treatment option for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. This intervention is one of the most challenging in urology and has a high rate of postoperative complications including around 30% of postoperative infections. Perioperative antibiotic ...

Purpose: To improve analgesia and reduce opioid consumption in patients undergoing major urologic surgery. Hypothesis: Patients receiving pre-operative single shot rectus sheath blockade in addition to continuous rectus sheath catheters will use less PCA opioid in the first 24 hours post-operatively compared to patients receiving continuous rectus sheath blockade for ...

Nowadays, high-quality cancer care is more than just diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Healthcare must respond to the specific needs of the patients to provide patient-centered care. To date, research on the unmet supportive care needs in bladder cancer patients undergoing radical cystectomy is scarce. Because the needs of the ...

The curative treatment of thoracic (lung and oesophagus), digestive (gastric, pancreatic, hepatic, colorectal), and urologic (renal, bladder, prostatic) cancers needs a surgical resection. For patients aged of 70 years old and more, this surgery is associated to an increased morbid-mortality especially because of more frequent co-morbidities. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) ...

OBJECTIVES: - Characterize the natural and clinical histories of patients with inherited urologic malignancies. - Determine the genetic etiology of inherited urologic malignancies in which the gene defect is unknown, using linkage analysis, positional cloning, and evaluation of candidate genes. - Correlate specific mutations and associated protein domains with disease ...

This study is a one arm, open label, multi-center, phase II study. Its aim is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IVIG administered as treatment for metastasis solid tumors. IVIG was proven as affecting the growth of tumor metastasis in animals’ models. Study population is including male or female, ...

The purpose of this trial is to assess the anti-tumour activity and safety of afatinib monotherapy in patients with urothelial tract carcinoma carrying ERBB2 or ERBB3 mutations or ERBB2 amplifications (Cohort A), and EGFR amplification positive tumours (Cohort B), progressing despite previous platinum based chemotherapy, and thereby to improve their ...

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, a drug called ado-trastuzumab emtansine has on the patient and their cancer which is thought to be controlled by the abnormal HER2 gene.

This study will examine the safety and anticancer activity of enfortumab vedotin given intravenously to patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who previously received a CPI and either previously received platinum-containing chemotherapy (Cohort 1) or are platinum-nave and cisplatin-ineligible (Cohort 2). Patients who received platinum in the adjuvant/neoadjuvant ...

This study will examine the safety and anticancer activity of enfortumab vedotin given intravenously in combination with pembrolizumab and/or chemotherapy to patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. The primary goal of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab and/or ...
