Clinical trials

A clinical trial is something that can be offered at any part in the bladder cancer journey, from initial suspected diagnosis, through investigations and different treatment, and in later follow-ups, or at the end of life.

A clinical trial can be offered at any stage in the bladder cancer journey, from initial diagnosis, through investigations and different treatments to later follow-ups or even the end of life.

There are a number of clinical trials in bladder cancer. These usually compare a new treatment which has the potential of working better or with less side effects, with what is used as the “gold-standard”.

Different trials are available in different hospitals. This is because of either the complexity of the trial or because of the type of treatment or test involved. For example, studies of surgery or radiotherapy may only be open at the particular hospital or cancer centres where the operation or the radiotherapy takes place. All studies have particular tick boxes to confirm whether this study is the correct one for you and your cancer. It may be that you and your type of bladder cancer do not match the eligibility criteria (or check list) for the study.

You should ask your doctor if you are suitable for a clinical trial. It is always helpful to take information with you for any trials that your doctor may not be familiar with. If the study is open elsewhere in the UK and it looks as though you may be eligible for this (and are prepared to travel), you could ask your doctor to refer you.

Current Open Bladder Cancer Trials

 

Suspected Bladder Cancer

UROX BIOMARKER

This trial will need a urine sample from participants who are under investigation for possible bladder cancer and are due to undergo a standard-of-care investigative cystoscopy and biopsy. This study tests whether the UroX biomarker can be detected in urine samples and therefore be a way of diagnosing patients. Both healthy volunteers and bladder cancer participants are needed.

Feasibility Study to Investigate Rectal Mucus in Aero-Digestive Tract Cancer.

The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility of genomic and epigenetic analysis of rectal mucus to detect non-colorectal cancers of the aero- digestive tract using samples collected by the OriCol™ Sampling Device. The primary objective of the study is to assess whether significant changes in DNA mutation and methylation associated with Non-colorectal cancers of the Aerodigestive Tract (NCRCADT) can be detected in rectal mucus as shed cells and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) pass through the gut and theoretically can be collected from rectal mucus. Secondary objectives will assess the participant acceptability of the OriCol™ Sampling Device for Upper GI and Lung Pathology as well as contributing to a genomic library collating information about rectal mucus

RESECT: Improving Quality in TURBT Surgery.

The most important step in the diagnosis and treatment of Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer is the first surgical procedure called the transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT). There is evidence that the quality of the TURBT operation, and the use of a single administration of bladder chemotherapy following the operation, can reduce cancer recurrence rates and progression to more invasive cancer. There is anecdotal evidence that the quality of TURBT surgery and the usage of intravesical chemotherapy varies widely between hospitals and thus may result in worse outcomes for some patients.

The primary objective of the study is to determine if audit and feedback can improve the quality of TURBT surgery and if this reduces the recurrence of Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

BAY 2416964 (AhR Inhibitor) in Combination With the Treatment Pembrolizumab

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat advanced solid cancers including head and neck cancer, lung cancer and bladder cancer. In some people with cancer a protein called Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) can prevent immune cells from fighting tumor cells. The study drug, BAY 2416964, is a small molecule which blocks the AhR allowing the body to use its immune response against the cancer cells. Researchers think that BAY 2416964 given together with a cancer treatment called pembrolizumab may help shrink tumors in people with cancer

Ex VIvo DEtermiNed Cancer Therapy (EVIDENT)

EVIDENT's aim is to test if ex vivo drug screening can predict whether patients with solid cancers will respond, or not respond, to standard care treatments. Patients undergoing standard care surgery to excise their tumour, those undergoing a biopsy, or those having a fluid aspirate of a solid tumour with surplus tissue available after diagnostic use will be eligible for this study. The specimen will then be assessed with ex vivo drug screening utilising all standard therapies and therapies that are more novel and in early stages of development. The results of the ex vivo drug screen will be compared to the cancer's actual response to standard care treatments for those that undergo therapy to determine how effective the test is at predicting treatment response.

Understand the Most Important Factors for Patients When They Decide on the Type of Treatment They Receive for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC).

Through our study, we aim to understand the most important factors for patients when they decide on the type of treatment they receive for MIBC. Our study consists of a discrete choice experiment (DCE): a type of questionnaire used to elicit preferences in the absence of data. DCEs are frequently used in oncological research to elicit preferences from participants without directly asking them to state their preferred options. Participants undertaking our DCE questionnaire will presented with a series of alternative hypothetical scenarios containing several variables or "attributes" (5), each of which may have a number of variations or "levels".
