Recruiting studies
- NCT05783271Recruiting
MRI test accuracy for suspected bladder cancer
This study checks how accurate a specific MRI measurement method is for people who may have bladder cancer. It may help doctors choose the best way to confirm or rule out cancer using MRI.
Asyut, AssuitAges Any age - NCT05715684Recruiting
Pre-surgery preparation program for people having bladder removal
This study tests a patient-centered coaching and preparation program before bladder surgery (cystectomy) to help you get ready for surgery and recovery. It may be especially helpful for people having urinary diversion using an ileal conduit or ileal neobladder.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT05679557Recruiting
Assessing frailty before bladder surgery to improve recovery
This trial tests whether a thorough “geriatric assessment” (a health check focused on older adults) can help you be better prepared for bladder removal surgery. It may guide supportive care before and around surgery to improve safety and recovery.
OdenseAges 65 years+ - NCT05519241RecruitingPhase 1
Experimental bladder cancer treatment for early-stage, BCG-unresponsive disease
This phase 1 trial tests a new treatment for early-stage bladder cancer that has not responded to BCG therapy. The treatment is given directly into the bladder (intravesical), which may help avoid removing the bladder.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04564781Recruiting
Predicting how bladder cancer responds to BCG
This study tries to predict whether BCG treatment will work for people with certain early-stage bladder cancers. It may help doctors better choose and monitor BCG for similar patients in the future.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06228066RecruitingPhase 2
Lurbinectedin with or without avelumab for small cell bladder cancer
This clinical trial tests a drug called lurbinectedin, given alone or with avelumab (an immunotherapy), for people with small cell bladder cancer or similar high-grade neuroendocrine tumors that have spread. The goal is to see if combining these drugs helps shrink or control the cancer better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04628767RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Durvalumab plus chemo before surgery for upper tract cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer. It compares different treatment approaches based on whether a patient can receive cisplatin chemotherapy.
Kingman, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06966778Recruiting
Oxybutynin to help bladder control after prostate surgery
This trial tests if the medicine Oxybutynin ER (a drug that helps relax the bladder) can help you regain bladder control sooner after robotic prostate surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo for a few weeks after surgery.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06953271RecruitingPhase 4
Methenamine after Botox for bladder control
This study tests whether taking a medication called methenamine hippurate (a pill for preventing UTIs) after Botox bladder injections can help reduce the risk of urinary tract infections. It may be a good option for women and non-binary people with overactive bladder who are already getting Botox treatment.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT05874375Recruiting
Study for overactive bladder symptoms in men
This trial looks at a treatment for overactive bladder in adult men. If you qualify, you may be asked to follow study instructions and report symptom changes during treatment.
MaastrichtAges 18 years+ - NCT07627178Recruiting
Comparing laser treatments for enlarged prostate
This study compares three different surgical laser techniques to treat benign prostate enlargement (BPH) that causes severe urinary symptoms and hasn't improved with medication. The goal is to find which method is safest and works best for large prostates.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges Any age - NCT04617756RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus chemo before surgery for high-risk upper urinary tract cancer
This trial studies whether durvalumab (an immunotherapy) given with chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk cancer in the kidney pelvis or ureter. It is mainly looking at safety and effectiveness in shrinking or controlling the cancer before treatment continues.
Paris, Paris Cx 20Ages 18 years+ - NCT06091566Recruiting
Nerve stimulation device for overactive bladder and bowel
This study tests a new kind of nerve stimulation device that is inserted into the vagina to help control bladder and bowel problems. It may reduce urgent trips to the bathroom, leaking, and other symptoms of overactive bladder or bowel dysfunction.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07662824Recruiting
Flyte device for bladder control after radiation therapy
This trial tests a device called Flyte to see if it can help improve urinary incontinence in women who have had radiation therapy for endometrial or cervical cancer. You might join if you've had bladder control problems since your treatment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 21 years+ - NCT06944743Recruiting
Prostate surgery for men with underactive bladder and blockage
This study tests a prostate surgery (TURP) in men with two bladder problems: a blockage leaving the bladder and a bladder that doesn't contract well. The goal is to see if the surgery can help improve bladder emptying.
SohagAges 40–70 - NCT05698576Recruiting
Laser treatment through the skin for men with prostate cancer
This trial tests a laser procedure done through the skin between the scrotum and anus, guided by MRI and ultrasound, for men with certain prostate cancer types. It aims to heat and treat prostate cancer while checking safety and outcomes over follow-up visits.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 50–80 - NCT05148156Recruiting
Urolift before radiation to reduce urinary side effects
This study tests whether a procedure called Urolift (which gently opens the prostate to relieve urinary blockage) before radiation therapy (SBRT) can reduce urinary side effects for men who have both prostate cancer and an enlarged prostate. If you qualify, you might experience fewer urinary problems during and after your cancer treatment.
Syosset, New YorkAges 50–99 - NCT06754488Recruiting
New Surgical Technique for Bladder Control After Prostate Removal
This trial tests a new surgical technique during laparoscopic prostate removal to help patients regain bladder control (urinary continence) faster. It's for men with early-stage prostate cancer who are good candidates for surgery.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges Up to 79 years - NCT06041503RecruitingPhase 2
Treating rare bladder and testicular cancers with targeted therapy
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) for people with certain rare cancers of the urinary tract or testicles. The goal is to see if these treatments can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06724159Recruiting
Study of funded drugs for genitourinary cancers
This study looks at how well newer funded cancer drugs work for people with cancers of the urinary or reproductive systems, such as bladder, prostate, or kidney cancer. Researchers want to learn about real-world outcomes based on routine care in hospitals across Spain.
Albacete, AlbaceteAges 18 years+ - NCT05313945Recruiting
Compare comfort after passive vs active catheter removal
This study tests which method of removing an in-place urinary (bladder) catheter is more satisfying and comfortable for patients after certain urologic procedures. If you qualify, you may be randomly assigned to one of two removal approaches and asked about your experience.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT06678126RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive vs standard radiation for prostate cancer
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes. It also tests two different instructions for how full your bladder should be during treatment. The goal is to see which approach works better and is easier for patients.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for urinary bladder cancer?
- 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.
