Testing metabolism in bladder cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial checks how the body's energy use (metabolism) changes in bladder cancer patients receiving chemotherapy before bladder removal surgery. The goal is to better understand how treatment affects the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with bladder cancer
- You are scheduled to get platinum-based chemotherapy before having your bladder removed
- Your heart and kidneys are healthy enough for this chemotherapy
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation for bladder cancer before
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

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 studies adding “heat treatment” (hyperthermia) to standard bladder cancer care using radiation, sometimes with chemotherapy. It may help the radiation work better, but your eligibility depends on cancer stage, your general health, and certain heart and metal-safety issues.
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 a new blood test that looks for signs bladder cancer may be coming back in people with a recent history of bladder cancer. It may help by making surveillance easier, but you must still follow a scheduled bladder-check plan.
This trial is testing if a simple urine test can help track prostate or bladder cancer over time without needing invasive procedures. It includes five specific patient groups with different stages of these cancers.
This study looks for specific DNA changes in bladder cancer tumors using a precise test. It aims to better understand the disease and may help guide future treatment choices.
