Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in combination with immunotherapy (cemiplimab with or without fianlimab) before cystectomy is an effective and safe treatment for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).

This study is being done to test the feasibility and accuracy of using an ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy technique as a potential tool for staging urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB).

This phase II trial tests how well the combination of futibatinib and durvalumab given before cystectomy works in treating patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who are ineligible for cisplatin-based therapy. Cisplatin-based therapy is the standard of care for patients with MIBC. However, many patients cannot receive standard therapy due to poor renal function, peripheral neuropathy, poor functional status, or clinically significant heart failure. Futibatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Durvalumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radical cystectomy is a surgery to remove all of the bladder as well as nearby tissues and organs. Giving futibatinib in combination with durvalumab before surgery may be an effective treatment option for patients with MIBC who are ineligible for cisplatin-based therapy.

Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is an aggressive disease with a high-risk of early metastasis and cancer specific mortality. The gold standard treatment of MIBC is radical cystectomy (RC) in conjunction with concomitant bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy . While radical cystectomy remains a primary management strategy for MIBC, high rates of recurrence with surgery alone highlight the likelihood of occult micrometastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. Due to the development and implementation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to radical cystectomy, the prognosis for MIBC patients undergoing radical cystectomy has improved .

A Phase I/II Dose Escalation, Safety and Efficacy Study of HBI 0201-ESO TCRT (anti-NY-ESO-1 TCR-Gene Engineered Lymphocytes) Given by Infusion to Patients with NY-ESO-1 -Expressing Metastatic Cancers

Upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) is cancer in the lining of the kidney or ureter (the tube that drains the kidney). This type of cancer is rare and as a result, there are only a few studies that have looked at it. Standard of care for UTUC would be surgery followed by chemotherapy (adjuvant chemotherapy). However, we know from studies that have looked at cancer of the lining of the bladder, which is a similar cancer in many ways, that treating people with chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) can lead to longer survival compared to the standard of care. There are no studies to show this in UTUC. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is thought to help improve survival by treating any cancer that may have spread from the original tumour but that is not visible yet on scans. This study would be the first clinical trial in Canada to evaluate the use of chemotherapy before surgery in this disease setting. Since UTUC is rare, the purpose of this study is to determine if it is possible to enrol enough patients to a trial looking at the use of chemotherapy before surgery.

1. Study the immunohistochemical expression of ALDOA in bladder urothelial cancer. 2. Correlate between ALDOA expression in specimens and different cilnicopathological factors. 3. Correlate between ALDOA expression and urothelial cancer prognosis and survival.

Patients with MIBC N0/N1 unwilling or unfit for cystectomy will receive SG + Zimberelimab for 3 cycles of treatment prior of first radiological and TURB re-evaluation. Patients with stable disease or downstaging will continue Zimberelimab up to 1 year. The goal of this trial is to demonstate that Sacituzumab Govitecan + Zimberelimab can avoid cistectomy and can prolong or avoid recurrence to metastatic disease in selected patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The primary endpoint of this trial is Event Free Survival that is defined as clinical evidence of new or progressing nodal or any distant metastatic disease, radical cystectomy, or death due to any cause from date of inclusion to the first documentation of a EFS event.

A database has been created and will be used in which data will be collected in electronic format relating to adult patients who underwent one of the following endoscopic resection surgeries: TURBK, MAPPING, TURBK SECOND LOOK, BLADDER BIOPSIES.

Observational study on the quality of life and pathological state of patients underwent radical cystectomy.
