Eribulin + Chemotherapy
for Bladder Cancer
This phase III trial compares the usual chemotherapy treatment to eribulin plus gemcitabine in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has spread 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.

Gemcitabine + Docetaxel vs BCG
for Bladder Cancer
This trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, Gemcitabine and Docetaxel, given directly into the bladder, is effective for patients with high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who have not been treated with the standard therapy before. The goal is to see if this new treatment can prevent cancer from coming back or spreading. The study will also look at the quality of life, safety, and side effects of the new treatment. Gemcitabine and Docetaxel have shown promise as an alternative treatment, especially in cases where the standard therapy fails or is not tolerated.
