What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

Researchers in the Netherlands are building a nationwide cohort of adults with high-risk non-muscle-invasive, muscle-invasive, and metastatic bladder cancer. The study follows participants over time to measure overall survival, progression-free survival, recurrence-free survival, and health-related quality of life. It is designed as an infrastructure that can support both observational and interventional bladder cancer research. Participation does not prevent patients from joining other studies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If it succeeds, this infrastructure could give researchers a large, long-term dataset to test new bladder cancer treatments and better predict how the disease behaves.
What could go wrong
This is an observational cohort, not a treatment trial, so it cannot prove that any therapy works. Results depend on long-term follow-up, and patients who drop out or move away may weaken the data.
