Hyaluronic acid bladder rinse to prevent radiation cystitis in bladder cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether putting hyaluronic acid (a natural substance) directly into the bladder can help prevent radiation cystitis (bladder inflammation and pain from radiation) in people receiving radiation and chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. If it works, it may help you tolerate treatment better and keep your bladder healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years of age or older.
- You have bladder cancer that has invaded the muscle layer of the bladder wall (muscle-invasive bladder cancer).
- Your cancer has not spread to distant organs (like the lungs or liver).
- You are planning to receive radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy (chemoradiation) as your treatment, instead of having your bladder removed.
- You have adequate bladder function, meaning you can void normally without significant problems.
- You do not have active bladder inflammation or frequent urinary tract infections within the past 6 months.

This study tests whether a shorter, more focused radiation plan given at the same time as chemotherapy can control muscle-invasive bladder cancer while keeping the bladder. You may be offered bladder-preserving treatment if your cancer stage and health conditions fit the study rules.
This study tests a new treatment for bladder irritation caused by past radiation therapy. It uses a solution made from stem cells (called exosomes) combined with a natural lubricant, which is placed directly into the bladder. This may help reduce symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, and blood in the urine, improving comfort and quality of life.
This trial studies whether pentosan polysulfate sodium can reduce bladder bleeding (hematuria) and urinary symptoms caused by radiation cystitis after pelvic cancer radiation. It may help people who are still having these bladder problems more than 6 months after radiation.
This trial tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can improve symptoms and reduce inflammation in people with bladder damage from past pelvic radiation. It compares patients with radiation cystitis to those without it.
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy that adjusts to your body's changes during treatment. It aims to reduce side effects and improve accuracy for people with bladder cancer.
This study tests whether giving a warm saline solution directly into the bladder right after removing a small bladder tumor is safe and possible. It may help reduce the chance of the tumor coming back.
