Bladder instillation for radiation cystitis
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 study tests a bladder instillation called Hydeal Cyst, given alongside standard BCG or MMC therapy, to see if it helps reduce side effects or improve outcomes for people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
This study tests a catheter-free method for delivering medication directly into the bladder. It may help patients with bladder pain, recurrent infections, bladder cancer, or cystitis after radiation or chemotherapy.
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.
