Using a urine test to check for bladder cancer return
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new non-invasive urine test (Xpert Bladder Monitor) to see if it can catch bladder cancer coming back early, reducing the need for frequent cystoscopy. It is for people with high-grade or high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who have had or are still having BCG treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with high-grade or high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
- You have received or are currently receiving BCG treatment
- You are able to have surgery (no medical reasons preventing it)

This trial tests a new urine test (BCDx) to see if it can catch bladder cancer coming back in people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who are already having regular check-ups. You would give a urine sample before your routine cystoscopy, and the results may help doctors monitor your cancer more easily.
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 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 study uses a blood test to find and monitor urothelial cancer (a type of bladder cancer) and to watch for signs it may come back. It may help patients and doctors make better decisions about follow-up care.
This study examines whether a simple blood test can detect cancer DNA (circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA) in patients with a specific type of bladder cancer. Detecting this DNA in blood may help doctors predict how the cancer will behave and guide future treatment decisions.
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.
