NCT ID NCT06818136

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

Summary

This study is testing a new urine test called Bladder EpiCheck to see how well it can detect bladder cancer in people aged 45 and older who have blood in their urine. Researchers will compare the test results to standard cystoscopy (a camera exam of the bladder). The goal is to find a less invasive way to screen for bladder cancer. The study will enroll 800 participants.
