NCT ID NCT04564781

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a new urine test that aims to predict whether bladder cancer patients will respond well to a standard treatment called BCG. Currently, about half of patients do not respond to BCG, leading to extra treatments or bladder removal. The test looks for specific markers in urine and will be checked against standard cystoscopy results. The goal is to help doctors choose the right treatment from the start, avoiding ineffective therapies.
