Collecting samples for bladder cancer research
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study collects tissue and blood samples from people diagnosed with early-stage bladder cancer (tumors that have not invaded the bladder muscle). The goal is to use these samples for research that could improve future diagnosis and treatment. It may be an opportunity to contribute to medical research.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have signs or symptoms that suggest bladder cancer, such as blood in your urine.
- You are willing to have your blood and tissue samples collected for research purposes before surgery.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of a type of bladder cancer called transitional cell carcinoma (also known as urothelial carcinoma).
- Your bladder cancer is non-muscle-invasive, meaning it is confined to the inner layer of the bladder (stages CIS, Ta, or T1).
- You are 18 years of age or older.

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 collects samples from people who may have bladder cancer or already have a bladder cancer diagnosis. Those samples will help researchers develop better biomarkers (lab tests) and new therapies in the future.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancer or suspected cancer, or from their blood relatives. Researchers use these samples to better understand cancer and develop new treatments.
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 collects clinical samples from adults who have suspected or confirmed urothelial (bladder/urinary tract lining) cancer. It helps researchers study the disease and may support future improvements in diagnosis or treatment.
This study looks at how bladder cancer is treated and what biological markers are present in patients in Russia. If you join, you may help doctors learn more about which treatments work best based on your tumor type.
