Urine test to help understand nearing end of life
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study collects urine samples from people with solid tumors to see if certain chemicals in the urine can help doctors understand how close someone is to the end of life. The goal is to improve care for patients in their final days.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study collects fresh samples of tumor tissue during procedures like surgery, biopsy, or TURBT to test a cancer therapy outside the body. It may help researchers learn which treatments work better for different solid cancers.
This study looks for a new set of urine “markers” (measurable substances in urine) that may help detect cancer earlier. If you join, they will collect your urine and compare results between people with cancer and people without cancer.
This study is testing if urine samples can help detect lung cancer early. You might help by providing a urine sample—either if you have early-stage lung cancer, have a suspicious lung nodule, or don’t have lung cancer at all.
This study looks for urine markers (proteins and metabolites) that may help predict how prostate cancer patients respond to treatment and what their outcomes are. You may be asked to give a urine sample and allow use of your medical and treatment details for analysis (results are not shared with you).
This study tests a new urine test that may help find cancers of the urinary tract (like bladder or kidney cancer) in people who have blood in their urine. If the test works well, it could provide a simpler way to check for cancer compared to standard procedures.
This trial uses a special test on your cancer cells to find which chemotherapy might work best for you. The aim is to treat advanced cancer that has caused fluid buildup in the chest or abdomen.
