NCT ID NCT05462561
First seen Jan 26, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests whether a donated bladder can be transplanted using robotic surgery in 5 adults with severe bladder damage. The goal is to see if the transplant works and is safe. Participants will need to take lifelong anti-rejection drugs, so this is a disease-control approach, not a cure.
