Tested neobladder type after bladder cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways surgeons rebuild a new bladder using either sigmoid colon tissue or ileum (small intestine) tissue. It aims to see which option is safer and works better for people having bladder cancer surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have bladder cancer that is in situ, high-grade (T1G3), or muscle-invasive (T2–T3, with no distant spread)
- Your bladder cancer is recurrent (it has come back)
- Your urologist has told you that you need new bladder surgery using bowel tissue (a neobladder)
- You have received bladder or bloodstream chemotherapy before (into the bladder, into arteries, or by mouth/IV)
- Your kidney function blood test is not too high (creatinine must be 2.26 mg/dL or less)

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.
This trial tests a special antibacterial wash (chlorhexidine) applied to a piece of intestine used to create a new way for urine to leave the body after bladder removal. It aims to reduce infections and improve recovery.
This trial uses a lab-grown version of your tumor (an organoid) to see which chemotherapy might work best for you after bladder cancer surgery. It helps doctors choose the most effective treatment for each person.
This trial studies a redesigned surgical instrument used during bladder tumor removal, to see if it can improve how the removed tissue samples are collected. It may help future patients by supporting better study of bladder tissue during cancer care.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches during bladder removal surgery: using a stent or not, and using a drug called alvimopan or not. Alvimopan helps the bowels work normally after surgery.
This trial tests whether alvimopan, a medicine given around the time of bladder removal surgery, can help your bowels start working sooner after surgery compared with a placebo (inactive pill). It may help shorten recovery by reducing bowel-related side effects on an enhanced recovery plan.
