Single-use digital scope for kidney cancer surveillance
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, disposable flexible camera (ureteroscope) to safely check for or monitor upper urinary tract cancer in an office setting without putting you to sleep. The goal is to see if patients can tolerate this procedure comfortably while awake.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a history of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (a type of kidney or ureter cancer) that was treated with endoscopy, or you're suspected to have it based on imaging
- You are already scheduled for an office-based ureteroscopy procedure
- You do not have an active urinary tract infection
- You do not have ureteral strictures (scarring or narrowing of the ureter)
- You are able and willing to complete survey questions throughout the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a flexible camera (ureterorenoscopy) to monitor the upper urinary tract after you've had kidney-sparing surgery for upper tract cancer. The goal is to catch any cancer recurrence early using this minimally invasive approach.
This trial tests if a procedure done in the clinic, without general anesthesia, can safely check the upper urinary tract after kidney-sparing surgery for urothelial cancer. It may reduce the need for hospital visits.
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound probe inserted into the urinary tract can better show how deep the cancer has grown, helping doctors decide on the right surgery. It may improve accuracy in treatment planning.
This study looks at how well patients do when they have kidney-sparing treatment (instead of complete kidney removal) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. It helps doctors understand which patients can safely avoid losing their kidney.
This trial tests a new smart ureteroscope that controls pressure and temperature to remove kidney or ureteral stones while you have a urinary tract infection. It may offer a safer way to treat stones without needing to wait for the infection to clear.
This study looks at how well a specific thin camera tool (the LithoVue Elite) works during ureteroscopy and laser treatment for kidney stones. It may help surgeons improve how effectively stones are cleared and how the procedure goes.
