Stem cell therapy for radiation cystitis
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment for radiation cystitis, a bladder condition caused by past pelvic radiation. It combines stem-cell derived particles with a standard bladder instillation to see if it helps improve symptoms like urgency or blood in urine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Women aged 18 to 80 years old
- Completed pelvic radiation therapy at least 6 months ago
- Diagnosed with radiation cystitis with ongoing bladder symptoms
- No active bladder infection or tumor
- No severe heart, lung, liver, or kidney problems
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving hyaluronic acid directly into the bladder can prevent radiation-induced bladder inflammation in people receiving chemoradiation for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. You may benefit if you are planning bladder-preserving treatment.
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 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 study tests whether a single injection of special cells (umbilical cord stem cells) can help heal long-term inflammation in the rectum caused by previous pelvic radiation. It's for people whose standard treatments have not worked.
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 trial tests whether a special kind of stem cell (called TH-SC01) can help people with long-term rectal damage from pelvic radiation. You will be injected with a small amount of radioactive material attached to the cells so doctors can see where they go and how long they stay in your body.
