First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing a new urine test called Bladder CARE™ to see if it can detect bladder cancer in people whose standard tests (cystoscopy or cytology) gave unclear results. About 80 adults with suspicious but inconclusive findings will provide a urine sample before their routine cystoscopy. Researchers will then check how well the test performs compared to standard diagnostic methods, with follow-up at 6 and 12 months.

Active substance

Bladder CARE™ Assay (urine-based diagnostic test)

What this could lead to

If successful, this test could provide a non-invasive way to diagnose bladder cancer when standard methods are inconclusive, reducing the need for invasive procedures.

What could go wrong

This is an early observational study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The test may not be accurate enough to replace current methods.
