NCT ID NCT05595408

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether tumor DNA found in blood and urine can help predict if cancer will come back after surgery in people with a rare type of bladder and kidney cancer. Researchers will follow 84 patients who have had surgery and are receiving chemotherapy or immunotherapy. The goal is to see if these DNA tests can catch signs of remaining cancer earlier than standard scans.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple blood or urine test to catch cancer recurrence early and guide treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It is small (84 people) and early, so results may not apply to all patients.
