NCT ID NCT06427824
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an educational video program and geriatric discharge planning can help people aged 65 and older with bladder cancer recover better after cystectomy (bladder removal surgery). Participants watch videos on mobility, medication, and mental clarity, and meet with a geriatric team after surgery. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, and whether it reduces side effects and improves quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
educational video modules and geriatric discharge planning
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that simple education and planning improve recovery and quality of life for older bladder cancer patients after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 85 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is educational, not a drug, so it won't directly treat the cancer.
