MRI-guided treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial uses advanced MRI scanning to guide treatment decisions for muscle invasive bladder cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by personalizing therapy based on detailed imaging.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with or are suspected to have muscle invasive bladder cancer after a cystoscopy and imaging.
- You are expected to live at least 3 months.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had chemotherapy, radiation, or bladder tumor surgery in the last 6 weeks.
- You have adequate kidney function (eGFR of 40 or higher) and can have an MRI (no metal implants, no severe claustrophobia).

This trial studies a bladder-sparing treatment plan that uses MRI to guide therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It combines maximal tumor removal, chemotherapy, and radiation to avoid bladder removal.
This study follows people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who choose to keep their bladder (instead of removing it) after receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or an ADC drug. It aims to see how well this approach works and what side effects may occur.
This trial compares two imaging methods—CT and MRI scans—to see which one better shows how far bladder cancer has spread before surgery. If you have newly diagnosed bladder cancer and are planning surgery, this study may help doctors choose the best imaging for your care.
This study uses a special MRI scan (mpMRI) to figure out how far suspected muscle-invasive bladder cancer has spread, using a new local staging approach. If the results are accurate, it may help doctors plan the most appropriate curative treatment sooner.
This study compares two ways to check if bladder cancer has grown into the muscle layer: an MRI scan (mpMRI) versus a standard surgery called TURBT (where a small tool removes a sample of the tumor). The goal is to see if the MRI can be as accurate as the surgery, so future patients might avoid an extra procedure.
This trial uses special MRI scans to help doctors choose precise treatment for bladder cancer before and/or around surgery. It may help tailor therapy more accurately while you receive standard bladder cancer care.
