Urine DNA test study for possible bladder cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial looks at how a urine DNA test may help find bladder cancer (or clues that it might be present), especially in people with symptoms or higher risk. You may be asked to provide urine and also complete standard tests like imaging, a cystoscopy, or pathology checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult (any age) who agrees to join and signs consent willingly
- You’re willing to have (or already had) standard bladder tests like imaging and/or cystoscopy and/or biopsy/pathology
- You have one of these reasons for screening: diagnosed or suspected bladder cancer
- You’re at higher risk due to factors like smoking, certain jobs/chemicals, schistosomiasis, family history, or similar risks
- You have blood in the urine (hematuria) or symptoms that could be mistaken for bladder cancer

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing whether a urine test for tumor DNA/RNA can help guide the decision for a second surgery in people with high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It aims to see if the urine test can predict who needs the second surgery, potentially avoiding unnecessary procedures.
This trial tests a new immunotherapy approach for people with a very high risk type of bladder cancer that hasn't spread into the muscle layer. The treatment is guided by a special urine test that looks for tumor DNA, and it may help if surgery cannot remove all the cancer or you choose not to have your bladder removed.
This study tests whether a protein called CREPT found in urine can help doctors diagnose bladder cancer or monitor patients who already have it. Researchers will compare urine samples from people with bladder cancer, people with other bladder conditions, and healthy volunteers.
This study is testing a new, non-invasive urine test that looks for specific DNA changes (methylation patterns) to find bladder cancer early. If you have bladder cancer or are a healthy person willing to help, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a urine test that looks for tumor DNA to help doctors decide when you need a cystoscopy (a scope in the bladder). It is for people with high-risk or very high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who have already had surgery to remove all visible tumors.
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.
