Comparing the New Anti-cancer Drug Eribulin With Chemotherapy Against the Usual Chemotherapy Alone in Metastatic Urothelial Cancer

This phase III trial compares the usual chemotherapy treatment to eribulin plus gemcitabine in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as eribulin, gemcitabine, docetaxel, paclitaxel, and sacituzumab govitecan work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This trial aims to see whether adding eribulin to standard of care chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with metastatic urothelial cancer.

Testing the Combination of the Anti-cancer Drugs XL184 (Cabozantinib) and Nivolumab in Patients With Advanced Cancer and HIV

This phase I trial investigates the side effects of cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and who are undergoing treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib and nivolumab may shrink or stabilize cancer in patients undergoing treatment for HIV.

A Study Comparing the Combination of Pembrolizumab and Sacituzumab Govitean-hziy Versus Standard of Care in the Treatment of Advanced Urothelial Cancer

This phase III trial compares the effectiveness of pembrolizumab and sacituzumab govitean-hziy to standard of care in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Sacituzumab govitean-hziy is a monoclonal antibody, called sacituzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug called govitean-hziy. Sacituzumab attaches to TROP2 positive tumor cells in a targeted way and delivers govitean-hziy to kill them. The usual treatment approach is treatment with chemotherapy such as cisplatin, carboplatin, gemcitabine, docetaxel or paclitaxel. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making deoxyribonucleic acid and may kill tumor cells. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Giving pembrolizumab and sacituzumab govitean-hziy may be more effective than usual care of carboplatin or cisplatin with gemcitabine, docetaxel or paclitaxel in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer.

People will receive 3 separate infusions of enfortumab vedotin in each 28-day (4 weeks) treatment cycle. People visit their study clinic for health-checks several times during and after they receive enfortumab vedotin.

A Real-world Study of the First Treatment and Outcomes of Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer (urothelial carcinoma) is a disease where cells in the bladder grow out of control. The bladder is an organ in the lower part of the body that stores urine. When someone has bladder cancer, abnormal cells form in the bladder and can spread to other parts of the body if not treated. Bladder cancer that has spread outside the bladder is called advanced or metastatic bladder cancer. The purpose of this study is to examine how long it takes for adults with advanced or metastatic bladder cancer to experience worsening of their disease following their first treatment . The researchers will also describe which medicines these patients use as their first treatment for the disease. This is a real-world study, not a clinical study. This means that researchers will look at what happens when patients receive the treatments prescribed by their own doctor as part of their usual healthcare treatment. In this study, researchers will use information from cancer clinics (Flatiron Health electronic health records). The study will include patients' information from the database who: * Were identified to have advanced or metastatic bladder cancer. * Started their first treatment after 01 Apr 2023. * Were 18 years of age or older when they were diagnosed with advanced disease.

Erdafitinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal FGFR protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. Enfortumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, enfortumab, linked to an anticancer drug called vedotin. It works by helping the immune system to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. Enfortumab attaches to a protein called nectin-4 on cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. It is a type of antibody-drug conjugate. Giving erdafitinib in combination with enfortumab vedotin may shrink or stabilize metastatic bladder cancer with alterations in FGFR 2/3 genes.

Tremelimumab + Durvalumab(MEDI4736)+ Belinostat in Urothelial Carcinoma

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of belinostat when given together with durvalumab in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) and has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Belinostat is a potential anti-cancer drug, known as a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, which means that belinostat stops the activity of HDAC enzymes (an enzyme is a protein that in small amounts can speed up a biological reaction). HDAC enzymes play an important role in cell growth and cell death. Giving durvalumab and belinostat may improve the body's ability to fight cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well ceralasertib, am Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase inhibitor, works alone or in combination with olaparib or durvalumab in treating participants with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), urothelial carcinoma, all pancreatic cancers, endometrial cancer, and other solid tumors excluding clear cell ovarian cancer that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes or other parts of the body. ATR kinase inhibitor AZD6738 and olaparib or durvalumab may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not known if giving ATR kinase inhibitor AZD6738 with or without olaparib or durvalumab may work better in treating participants with solid tumors.

ARID1A and/or KDM6A Mutation and CXCL13 Expression

This phase II trial studies the effect of nivolumab in urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), specifically in patients with aberrations in ARID1A gene (ARID1A mutation) and correlate with expression level of CXCL13, an immune cytokine. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving nivolumab may help control the disease in patients with urothelial cancer or solid tumors. This trial aims at enriching patient selection based on genomic and immunological attributes of the tumor.

Cryoablation Combined With Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Painful Bone Metastases, the CROME Trial

This trial compares cryoablation combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy to stereotactic body radiation therapy alone to see how well they work in treating patients with pain from cancer that has spread to the bones (bone metastases). Bone is a common site of metastasis in advanced cancer, and bone metastases often result in debilitating cancer-related pain. The current standard of care to treat painful bone metastases is radiation therapy alone. However, many patients do not get adequate pain relief from radiation therapy alone. Another type of therapy that may be used to provide pain relief from bone metastases is cryoablation. Cryoablation is a procedure in which special needles are inserted into the tumor site. These needles grow ice balls at their tips to freeze and kill cancer cells. The goal of this trial is to compare how well cryoablation in combination with radiation therapy works to radiation therapy alone when given to cancer patients to provide pain relief from bone metastases.

Dual-Target Nectin-4/HER2 CAR-NK Cells in Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma

This hypothetical first-in-human study is designed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of an allogeneic dual-target Nectin-4/HER2 CAR-NK cell product in adults with relapsed/refractory locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Based on public urothelial-cancer evidence, Nectin-4 was selected as the lead antigen because it has the strongest disease-specific clinical validation; HER2/ERBB2 was chosen as the secondary co-target to broaden tumor coverage and reduce antigen-escape risk. EpCAM is not selected as a therapeutic co-target in this example because of broader normal epithelial expression and weaker tumor specificity in urothelial carcinoma.

Trying to Find the Correct Length of Treatment With Immune Checkpoint Therapy

This phase III trial compares survival in urothelial cancer patients who stop immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment after being treated for about a year to those patients who continue treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, durvalumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stopping immune checkpoint inhibitors early may still make the tumor shrink and patients may have similar survival rates as the patients who continue treatment. Stopping treatment early may also lead to fewer treatment-related side effects, an improvement in mental health, and a lower cost burden to patients.

Enfortumab Vedotin Schedule De-escalation in Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma

This is a non-randomized two arm open-label phase 2 pilot study in adult subjects with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. The study will investigate an alternative administration schedule of EV given as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab.

Sonidegib and Pembrolizumab in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This phase I trial studies the best dose of sonidegib when given together with pembrolizumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with solid tumor that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Sonidegib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving sonidegib and pembrolizumab may work better than standard treatment in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
