Tested protein markers for bladder conditions caused by schistosomiasis
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks for specific proteins in samples from people with bladder inflammation (cystitis) and/or bladder cancer, especially in cases linked to schistosomiasis. It may help improve diagnosis by finding easier blood or urine markers for these bladder-related conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with bladder inflammation (cystitis) and/or bladder cancer.
- Your condition is being evaluated as possibly related to schistosomiasis (a parasitic infection) or other causes.
- You do not have any other (separate) tumors besides bladder cancer if present.
- You do not have another urinary tract infection at the same time as this study testing.
- You can provide the study’s required sample(s) (for example, urine or blood) as the team requests.

This study tests a new urine test that uses nanobodies (tiny proteins) to detect schistosomiasis, a parasitic infection common in parts of Africa. The goal is to see if this simple test can replace the current microscope method and help people get diagnosed faster.
This study aims to identify the types of schistosomiasis (a parasitic infection) in patients in Assiut Governorate. It involves testing urine or stool samples to confirm the infection.
This study collects urine and tissue samples from people being checked for blood in their urine (hematuria) to build a 'bladder bank' for future research. By donating samples, you help scientists learn more about bladder conditions and improve diagnosis.
This trial is testing a urine test called Bladder EpiCheck to see if it can help find bladder cancer in people who have blood in their urine. You would give a urine sample and then have a standard cystoscopy as part of your care.
This study tests whether a special urine testing approach can better identify and sort risk in people (especially veterans) who were referred to urology for blood in the urine. It may help doctors decide who needs more urgent follow-up and which next steps to take.
This study looks for a new set of urine “markers” (measurable substances in urine) that may help detect cancer earlier. If you join, they will collect your urine and compare results between people with cancer and people without cancer.
