Testing a prostate-sparing bladder surgery for bladder cancer
This trial studies whether a “prostate-sparing” radical cystectomy is safe and effective for bladder cancer patients who are having surgery. It aims to see if this approach can treat bladder cancer while reducing prostate-related side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06170177Recruiting

Bladder cancer study: testing a tool to see if womb and ovaries can be saved
This trial is testing a decision-making tool to help women with bladder cancer choose whether to keep their uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs during bladder removal surgery. It may help maintain quality of life after surgery.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT07686783Recruiting
Ovary function after cyst removal surgery
This study looks at how ovary function changes after surgery to remove a cyst from the ovary. It compares women with endometriosis-related cysts to those with other types, to better understand recovery.

Comparing heat vs. sealant for bleeding during ovarian cyst removal
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to remove benign ovarian cysts: one uses heat (electrosurgery) and the other uses a special sealant. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective, which could help you recover faster and with fewer complications.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–50 - NCT06290687RecruitingPhase 2
Partial cystectomy with chemo for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether removing part of the bladder (partial cystectomy) along with standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy before surgery is effective for people with a specific type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread beyond the bladder.
Cleveland, OhioAges 19 years+ - NCT06770530RecruitingPhase 4
Fungal infection prevention after bladder removal surgery
This trial tests if giving a medicine called Fluconazole can prevent fungal infections after bladder removal surgery (cystectomy) where a piece of the small intestine is used to create a new way for urine to leave the body (ileal conduit).
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07202819Recruiting
Chemotherapy and MRI before bladder surgery
This study looks at how well MRI scans can detect bladder cancer after chemotherapy, before surgery to remove the bladder. It may help doctors know if the chemo is working.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06190197RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing antibiotics before bladder removal surgery
This trial tests whether giving preventive antibiotics before bladder removal surgery reduces infections. If you have muscle-invasive bladder cancer and are having your bladder removed, you may be able to join.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04643106Recruiting
Compare two ways to stop bleeding during ovarian cyst removal
This trial compares two methods used during laparoscopic (small-robot/pinch-incision) ovarian cyst surgery to see which stops bleeding better and better protects future fertility. You may be eligible if you’re having surgery for ovarian endometriosis and meet hormone and pregnancy-related requirements.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19–45 - NCT04900558Recruiting
Study outcomes after robotic bladder removal surgery
This trial follows adults who are planning to have a robotic radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder and surrounding tissue) to learn what outcomes to expect. If you choose to join and meet the basics, it may help your team compare results and improve care for future patients.
Florence, TuscanyAges 18 years+ - NCT05067101Recruiting
Compare two bladder cancer surgeries in men
This trial compares two types of bladder surgery to see which works better for certain men with bladder cancer. It may help you and your doctors choose the safest option that controls the cancer while preserving quality of life.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 20 years+ - NCT05153694Recruiting
Study of infections after bladder removal
This observational study follows people after surgery to remove the bladder to learn how often infections happen and what they look like. It may help doctors better prevent and manage complications after this operation.
Munich, Outside U.S./CanadaAges Any age - NCT06263153RecruitingPhase 2
Futibatinib and durvalumab before bladder cancer surgery
This trial tests two drugs (futibatinib and durvalumab) given before bladder removal surgery for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who cannot take standard cisplatin chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06427824Recruiting
Health tests for older adults with bladder cancer before bladder removal
This study looks at how a series of health tests (called a comprehensive geriatric assessment) can help doctors plan care for older adults with bladder cancer who are having their bladder removed. The goal is to improve recovery and quality of life.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 65 years+ - NCT06595446Recruiting
Timing of stent removal after bladder cancer surgery
This study looks at whether removing a small tube (stent) placed during bladder surgery earlier or later helps recovery. It is for patients having a specific type of bladder removal surgery that creates a new way for urine to leave the body.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06764095RecruitingPhase 4
Drug combo before bladder or ureter surgery for advanced cancer
This trial tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, given before surgery to remove the bladder or ureter in people with advanced bladder or upper urinary tract cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the cancer and improves outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07004959Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for ovarian endometriomas
This trial tests if a less invasive ultrasound-guided ethanol injection works as well as laparoscopic surgery for treating ovarian endometriomas (fluid-filled cysts from endometriosis). It may offer a treatment option with fewer side effects.
Marseille, FranceAges 18–45 - NCT07008261Recruiting

- Are there clinical trials for cystectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 58 recruiting cystectomy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cystectomy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cystectomy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
