Tests urine and bladder checks for bladder cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests non-invasive tests (using urine samples and scheduled bladder procedures) to help detect bladder cancer. It may be helpful if you are having bladder evaluation or surgery and your care team wants better ways to detect cancer without invasive testing beyond what you already need.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You are scheduled for a bladder procedure such as cystoscopy (camera exam)
- Or you are scheduled for bladder/urinary tract surgery such as cystectomy or nephroureterectomy
- You may be newly diagnosed bladder cancer or have cancer coming back and being followed
- If you are in the control group, you have no known bladder cancer and would provide one urine sample

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at urothelial cancer (often bladder cancer) samples taken during diagnosis or standard treatment. It may help researchers better understand the disease by using tissue that doctors already need to collect for care.
This study looks for a new set of urine “markers” (measurable substances in urine) that may help detect cancer earlier. If you join, they will collect your urine and compare results between people with cancer and people without cancer.
This study follows people with urothelial cancer and certain rare genital (genitourinary) cancers over time to learn how these diseases progress. It may help researchers understand patterns of symptoms and outcomes, even if it is not a drug trial.
This Phase 2 study tests whether urine tests can help monitor “non-muscle-invasive” bladder cancer without doing as many invasive bladder scopes (cystoscopies). If you qualify, you may be able to replace some scope visits with urine sample testing while still keeping close watch for cancer coming back.
This study tests whether a simple urine test can accurately identify cancer in the bladder, ureters (tubes between kidneys and bladder), or renal pelvis (part of the kidney). You would provide urine samples before your planned surgery, and researchers will compare the urine test results to your actual tissue diagnosis after surgery.
This trial looks at whether a large urine sample can detect bladder cancer DNA. It may help diagnose cancer without needing a cystoscopy. You can join if you are about to have a cystoscopy to check for bladder cancer.
