Testing a new way to give bladder treatment without a catheter
Part of Cancer, Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a catheter-free method for delivering medication directly into the bladder. It may help patients with bladder pain, recurrent infections, bladder cancer, or cystitis after radiation or chemotherapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your doctor has said you need medication placed directly into your bladder for one of these reasons: bladder pain syndrome, repeat urinary tract infections, early bladder cancer, or cystitis from radiation or chemo.
- You have not had a urinary tract infection in the last month and do not have one now.
- A urine test in the last 2 weeks showed no infection.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or visible blood in your urine.
- You are able to empty your bladder well (less than 100 ml leftover after urinating).
- You can understand study information and give consent.

This study tests whether giving one dose of chemotherapy placed directly into the bladder after a diagnostic bladder/urinary scope (URS) can help people with a localized upper urinary tract cancer (UTUC). It may help reduce cancer coming back, alongside standard post-scope care.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help relieve pain and pressure from bladder pain syndrome (also called interstitial cystitis). Researchers want to see if using acupuncture early can improve symptoms better than usual care.
This trial tests a special antibacterial wash (chlorhexidine) applied to a piece of intestine used to create a new way for urine to leave the body after bladder removal. It aims to reduce infections and improve recovery.
This trial studies a new way to help stop urinary tract infections (UTIs) from coming back by using “bacterial interference” (changing the bacteria in the urinary system). It may help people who have had UTIs keep returning despite past treatments.
This study compares two standard treatments for high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has come back after initial treatment: medication placed directly into the bladder (intravesical therapy) or bladder removal surgery (cystectomy). The goal is to see which option works better for patients like you.
This trial tests whether giving hyaluronic acid directly into the bladder can prevent radiation-induced bladder inflammation in people receiving chemoradiation for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. You may benefit if you are planning bladder-preserving treatment.
