Virtual MRI to map bladder cancer for staging before surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This early-stage study uses special MRI imaging to create a “virtual view” of the bladder wall so doctors can better stage bladder cancer before treatment. If you qualify, you may get MRI imaging using contrast medicines as part of planning your surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 90 years old
- You can understand the study and sign written consent
- You have a bladder tumor that doctors have found by scope (cystoscopy) and plan to remove with TURBT, or you have muscle-invasive bladder cancer that hasn’t spread and can be surgically removed with curative intent
- Your overall health is good (ECOG 0–1, meaning you’re able to carry out normal activities or only have mild limits)
- Your kidney function is enough for MRI contrast (based on blood creatinine or a kidney filtration estimate)
- You can safely complete MRI (no conditions that make MRI too risky)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing if two types of PET/MRI scans (one using FAPI tracer, another using FDG tracer) are better at finding and evaluating muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help doctors decide the best treatment for you.
This study uses MRI scans to look at bladder tumors in detail before surgery. The goal is to see if MRI can accurately show how deep the tumor has grown, which may help doctors plan the best treatment.
This study uses a special MRI scan (mpMRI) to figure out how far suspected muscle-invasive bladder cancer has spread, using a new local staging approach. If the results are accurate, it may help doctors plan the most appropriate curative treatment sooner.
This trial uses advanced MRI scanning to guide treatment decisions for muscle invasive bladder cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by personalizing therapy based on detailed imaging.
This study looks at how well MRI scans can detect bladder cancer after chemotherapy, before surgery to remove the bladder. It may help doctors know if the chemo is working.
This trial uses special MRI scans and tiny markers placed in the bladder to better plan bladder chemoradiation. The goal is to help target treatment more accurately and improve how well it can be delivered.
