Blood test to monitor bladder cancer returning
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new blood test that looks for signs bladder cancer may be coming back in people with a recent history of bladder cancer. It may help by making surveillance easier, but you must still follow a scheduled bladder-check plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have had bladder cancer diagnosed in the last 24 months
- Your bladder cancer was non-muscle-invasive or muscle-invasive, treated without removing the bladder, or not yet treated
- You can and agree to sign written consent and follow the study schedule
- You can keep up with bladder surveillance visits (often every 3 months at first)

This trial checks whether a new lab test on urine can help sort out which people with small amounts of blood in the urine (microscopic hematuria) might have bladder cancer. It may help doctors evaluate symptoms more accurately and decide who needs further testing.
This study tests a new non-invasive urine test (Xpert Bladder Monitor) to see if it can catch bladder cancer coming back early, reducing the need for frequent cystoscopy. It is for people with high-grade or high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who have had or are still having BCG treatment.
This trial tests a new urine test (BCDx) to see if it can catch bladder cancer coming back in people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who are already having regular check-ups. You would give a urine sample before your routine cystoscopy, and the results may help doctors monitor your cancer more easily.
This study examines whether a simple blood test can detect cancer DNA (circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA) in patients with a specific type of bladder cancer. Detecting this DNA in blood may help doctors predict how the cancer will behave and guide future treatment decisions.
This trial is testing if a simple urine test can help track prostate or bladder cancer over time without needing invasive procedures. It includes five specific patient groups with different stages of these cancers.
This study compares two approaches for people with early-stage bladder cancer that has a low chance of coming back: either careful monitoring without immediate treatment, or receiving chemotherapy directly into the bladder to lower the risk of recurrence. It aims to see if monitoring alone is as good as chemotherapy for those with a low risk detected by a urine test.
