Urine test for bladder cancer detection
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study is testing a new urine test that looks for chemical changes in DNA that might indicate bladder cancer (or other urinary tract cancers). The goal is to see if this simple urine test can reliably detect cancer, possibly helping avoid more invasive procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have blood in your urine, either visible or only found with a microscope.
- You can provide a urine sample before any surgery.
- You have never been diagnosed with any type of cancer, including bladder cancer.
- You do not have a severe urinary infection, kidney or liver failure, or other serious health conditions that might interfere.
- You do not have a urinary catheter, nephrostomy tube, or cystostomy tube.
- You are not currently receiving cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy.

This study tests a simple urine test that looks for DNA changes to help find bladder or urinary tract cancer early. It is for people who have blood in their urine and are going to have surgery, to see if the test can accurately detect cancer before surgery.
This trial looks at whether a large urine sample can detect bladder cancer DNA. It may help diagnose cancer without needing a cystoscopy. You can join if you are about to have a cystoscopy to check for bladder cancer.
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 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 a new urine-based test called EpiCheck to help detect bladder cancer. You'll provide urine samples before or during a bladder procedure you're already scheduled to have, and researchers will see how well the test works.
This study is testing a simple blood test that looks for cancer DNA in your blood. The goal is to see if it can accurately detect muscle-invasive bladder cancer or upper tract urothelial cancer.
