New robotic tool for removing early bladder tumors
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new robotic system to remove bladder tumors in one piece (en-bloc resection) for people with early-stage, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. It may offer a more precise surgical option for eligible patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is below 35.
- Your bladder tumor is smaller than 3 cm and has not grown into the bladder muscle (non-muscle invasive).
- Your doctor has recommended a type of surgery called en-bloc resection to remove the tumor in one piece.
- You are willing to give signed consent to participate.

This study is for adults who have a bladder tumor and are having a standard kind of surgery through the urethra. Researchers will collect information about this “en bloc resection” approach to better understand outcomes and care for people with bladder tumors.
This study tests a newer way to remove bladder tumors (called ERBT) combined with BCG, a standard immunotherapy placed in the bladder, for people with bladder cancer that is not too advanced. The goal is to see if this combination helps reduce the chance of the cancer coming back.
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
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 tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help guide surgeons during a procedure called TURBT to remove early-stage bladder cancer. The goal is to see if this technology improves the removal of cancer while potentially reducing risks.
This trial follows adults who are planning to have a robotic radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder and surrounding tissue) to learn what outcomes to expect. If you choose to join and meet the basics, it may help your team compare results and improve care for future patients.
