Urine Bacteria in Bladder Cancer vs. Other Conditions
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares the bacteria in urine of men with bladder cancer to those with other urinary issues and healthy men. For bladder cancer patients, it looks at differences before a planned surgery to remove the bladder.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with bladder cancer (urothelial carcinoma).
- You must have a negative urine culture (no current infection).
- You must be scheduled to have your bladder removed (radical cystectomy).
- You cannot have had BCG therapy for bladder cancer before.
- You cannot have taken antibiotics in the last two months.

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 checks if doing a urine culture before bladder tumor surgery can help prevent fever from urinary tract infections after surgery. It compares two ways of managing pre-surgery urine testing to see which is more effective in reducing post-surgery infection risks.
This study follows people with urothelial cancer and certain rare genital (genitourinary) cancers over time to learn how these diseases progress. It may help researchers understand patterns of symptoms and outcomes, even if it is not a drug trial.
This study looks at urothelial cancer (often bladder cancer) samples taken during diagnosis or standard treatment. It may help researchers better understand the disease by using tissue that doctors already need to collect for care.
This study tests a urine test that may help find bladder cancer early without needing invasive procedures. It is for people with high-grade or high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are receiving or have received BCG treatment.
This study looks at bacteria in urine and the bladder to understand if they play a role in causing bladder cancer. Researchers will compare samples from men with bladder cancer and healthy controls.
