Bladder cancer trail: DNA in blood and urine may predict treatment success

NCT ID NCT05630131

First seen Dec 10, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This small pilot study looked at whether DNA from cancer cells (called ctDNA) can be detected in the blood or urine of people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are receiving a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The goal was to see if collecting and measuring ctDNA is practical. If successful, this approach could help doctors monitor how well the treatment is working and predict outcomes. Only one person took part, so the results are very early.
