New urine test could spot bladder cancer when others Can't
NCT ID NCT06870253
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
