NCT07321210
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding a template lymph node dissection (TLND) to the standard surgery for upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) can improve patient survival and prevent the cancer from recurrence. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do patients who receive standard surgery with LND live longer without their cancer returning? Is adding LND safe, and how does it affect surgery-related complications? Researchers will compare the group receiving standard surgery plus LND to the group receiving standard surgery alone to see if adding LND is more effective. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of the two surgical groups. Undergo their assigned surgery and recover in the hospital. Attend regular follow-up visits for checkups and scans for 5 years to monitor for cancer recurrence, with the possibility of long-term follow-up extending to 10 years.
NCT06948552
This study is evaluating whether a medication called 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), approved by the FDA for use in brain surgery, can help improve the visibility of upper tract urothelial tumors during surgery. Patients undergoing ureteroscopic tumor resection will receive 5-ALA prior to surgery, and surgeons will use special blue light to help identify abnormal tissue that might not be seen under standard white light. The goal is to assess whether this technique can enhance tumor detection and removal.
NCT06040762
Prehabilitation refers to the process of improving a patient's functional capabilities prior to a surgical procedure with the goal of decreasing post-surgical inactivity and physical decline. This clinical trial evaluates the utility of a personalized home-based prehabilitation exercise intervention for the improvement of physical function and surgical outcomes in patients with urothelial carcinoma undergoing definitive or consolidative surgery of the bladder (radical cystectomy) or upper tract (nephroureterectomy, ureterectomy) with or without preceding neoadjuvant/systemic therapy. The exercise intervention includes at-home exercise sessions focused on the improvement of core strength and balance as well as personalized step count goals, delivered to patients remotely via a smart-device-based application (ExerciseRx). Encouraging physical activity before surgery may improve physical function and surgical outcomes in patients who are scheduled to undergo surgery for their bladder or urothelial cancer.
NCT06668493
The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety \& tolerability of Nadofaragene Firadenovec in subjects with LG-UTUC. To help with this evaluation, a safety lead-in period will be conducted for the first 6 subjects. Complete response is at 3 or 6 months defined as absence of any UTUC in the renal pelvis.
NCT07225374
A Prospective Phase II Study of Adjuvant Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy followed by Maintenance Avelumab in Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma
NCT07126119
This study is designed as an open-label, single-arm, single center, phase II clinical trial, aiming to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant Tislelizumab combined with Nab-Paclitaxel for patients with non-metastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTC). Patients enrolled will receive 2-3 cycles of Tislelizumab in combination with Nab-Paclitaxel every 3 weeks and then undergo radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). The assessment of efficacy is based on the histology of specimen from RNU, and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) will be recorded and evaluated according to CTCAE 5.0.
NCT03617003
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a combination of the study drug called WST11 and PDT. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a type of ablation therapy (treatment which destroys tumor cells) which has been previously approved for the treatment of patients with other cancers. It works by using a drug that is given through the vein and then is activated in the tumor by light administered during endoscopy, which results in destruction of the cancer cells.
NCT06798246
This multicenter, real-world study introduces a novel Hematoxylin-eosin staining(H\&E)-based four tumor microenvironment (TME) system (HEFTME system) assisting in prognostic prediction and precise adjuvant treatment selection for laUTUC postoperatively.
NCT04197986
This is a Phase 3 multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of infigratinib (an oral targeted FGFR1-3 inhibitor) versus placebo, as adjuvant treatment following surgery in adult subjects with invasive urothelial carcinoma and susceptible FGFR3 genetic alterations (mutations, and gene fusions or rearrangements) who have disease that is considered at high risk for recurrence with surgery alone. The study enrolls subjects with either bladder cancer post radical cystectomy or upper tract urothelial cancer post distal ureterectomy and/or nephrectomy. Study treatment is randomized 1:1 between infigratinib or placebo with treatment up to 1 year or until invasive local, distal, or metastatic disease recurrence confirmed by independent imaging reviewer.
NCT02876861
The purpose of this study is to see if getting chemotherapy with Gemcitabine and Cisplatin (GC) for 2-4 cycles can help shrink the tumor before undergoing surgery and improves the overall survival for high-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma.
NCT03230201
This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the role of lymph node dissection in the prevention of recurrence and metastasis after radical nephroureterectomy for high-risk primary upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients.
NCT02547350
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic intravesical chemotherapy (different chemotherapy drugs and dosage regimen) in the prevention of bladder recurrence after nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).
