Recruiting studies
- NCT05072600RecruitingPhase 2

This study looks at how people feel and their health after having their bladder removed. It aims to understand quality of life after this surgery.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT07869836RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing new drug to standard chemo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new targeted drug, BL-M07D1, against standard chemotherapy in people with advanced bladder cancer that has grown after immunotherapy. It may offer a new treatment option for those with a specific protein (HER2) on their cancer cells.
Macon, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06289270Recruiting
Bladder cancer and urine bacteria study

Cairo, Giza GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT03973671Recruiting
Collecting blood and tissue samples during bladder cancer surgery
This study collects clinical and tissue samples from people who are having surgery for bladder cancer and related urinary-tract tumors. It aims to improve understanding of cancer and may help future care by building a large research dataset.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–90 - NCT06441110RecruitingPhase 3
BCG instillation for medium- to high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests whether a specific schedule of BCG (a weakened germ that boosts the immune system) placed directly into the bladder is safe and effective for medium- to high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't grown into the muscle. It aims to see if adjusting the standard BCG course can work better for people with a PD-L1-positive tumor.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07804056RecruitingPhase 3
Alpha1H before surgery for low-risk bladder cancer
This study tests a new medicine called Alpha1H that is given before the usual surgery to remove bladder cancer. It may help lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT07784387Recruiting
Bladder cancer study in Portugal
This study looks at the characteristics and outcomes of people with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in Portugal. It aims to understand the disease better and could help improve future treatments.
LisbonAges 18 years+ - NCT04498767Recruiting
Radiation to treat a few metastatic spots in rare cancers
This trial studies whether stereotactic (high-precision) radiation given in a few sessions can control rare cancers that have spread to a small number of sites. It aims to help by treating all known spots while keeping side effects manageable.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07747740RecruitingPhase 2
Bladder cancer treatment after BCG therapy fails
This trial compares two combinations of chemotherapy drugs given directly into the bladder to see which works better for patients whose bladder cancer has not responded to BCG therapy.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07725796RecruitingPhase 1
Study of UGN-501 for recurrent bladder cancer
This study tests an experimental medicine called UGN-501 given directly into the bladder. It is for people whose bladder cancer has come back despite previous treatments, such as BCG therapy. The goal is to find the best dose and see how safe and effective it is.
Queen Creek, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07721935Recruiting
AI tool for urological disease diagnosis and treatment
This trial is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) system that helps doctors diagnose and treat urological conditions like urinary stones, prostate cancer, or bladder cancer. It looks at your medical records, scans, and surgical videos to improve care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT07673016Recruiting
Collecting urine to test a new bladder cancer detection method
This study collects urine samples to test UroAmp, a new genetic test that may help detect and monitor bladder cancer. It is for people with bladder cancer or blood in urine who want to help improve cancer detection.
Oceanside, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06719232Recruiting
Testing a new way to give bladder treatment without a catheter
This study tests a catheter-free method for delivering medication directly into the bladder. It may help patients with bladder pain, recurrent infections, bladder cancer, or cystitis after radiation or chemotherapy.
BudapestAges 18–80 - NCT07566156RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combination vs. radiation for bladder cancer preservation
This trial tests whether two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) work better than radiation with chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to treat your cancer while keeping your bladder instead of removing it.
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07524426Recruiting
Local Radiation Therapy for Bladder Cancer Not Suitable for Surgery
This trial tests whether focused radiation therapy directed at the bladder can help patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are not candidates for surgical removal or have chosen not to have surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can control the cancer and improve quality of life.
Umeå, Västerbotten CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06732531RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for high-risk bladder cancer that came back after BCG
This clinical trial tests a new drug, BH011, for people with high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has come back or not responded to BCG therapy. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and works well when given directly into the bladder, as an alternative to bladder removal surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07475403RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy guided by urine DNA for high risk bladder cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy approach for people with a very high risk type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle layer. The treatment is guided by a special urine test that looks for tumor DNA, and it may help if surgery cannot remove all the cancer or you choose not to have your bladder removed.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07463963Recruiting
Urine culture before bladder tumor surgery to prevent fever from infection
This trial checks if doing a urine culture before bladder tumor surgery can help prevent fever from urinary tract infections after surgery. It compares two ways of managing pre-surgery urine testing to see which is more effective in reducing post-surgery infection risks.
AngersAges 18 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.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 166 recruiting urinary bladder cancer 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 urinary bladder cancer 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 urinary bladder cancer 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.
