Super-Resolution Ultrasound for Bladder Cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to take detailed pictures of the tiny blood vessels around bladder cancer. The goal is to help doctors better understand the cancer before surgery to remove the bladder.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a type of bladder cancer called urothelial cancer (also known as transitional cell carcinoma).
- Your doctor has recommended surgery to remove your bladder (radical cystectomy).
- You are not allergic to sulfur hexafluoride or polyethylene glycol (PEG), which are used in the ultrasound contrast agent or in some vaccines.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have a serious unstable condition, such as being in the hospital intensive care unit or having a high-risk heart condition.

This trial studies a special ultrasound scan with contrast dye to see whether bladder cancer has grown into the muscle layer. It may help doctors plan the best treatment before surgery.
This trial uses a special ultrasound with contrast dye to get a clearer picture of bladder cancer before any treatment. It aims to improve how doctors determine the stage of the cancer, which helps guide the best treatment plan.
This study tests whether giving a single dose of chemotherapy directly into the bladder right after a diagnostic scope procedure can help prevent the cancer from coming back in people with a new diagnosis of cancer in the kidney or ureter. It is an extra step that may reduce the risk of recurrence without delaying standard care.
This trial tests a new optical probe that gives doctors a clearer view of bladder tumors during cystoscopy. It may help make diagnosis and treatment more accurate.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to look at ultrasound and other scans to better stage bladder cancer and predict if chemotherapy before surgery might work. It may help doctors plan your treatment more precisely.
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.
