Simple blood and urine test could spot bladder cancer return
NCT ID NCT07441499
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new liquid biopsy that uses blood and urine samples to help diagnose, monitor treatment, and predict recurrence in people with urothelial carcinoma (a type of bladder cancer). Researchers will enroll 300 participants and compare the liquid biopsy results with standard tissue biopsies. The goal is to see if this non-invasive test can reliably track cancer changes over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Multi-component liquid biopsy (blood and urine test)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a non-invasive way to detect and monitor urothelial cancer, potentially reducing the need for repeated tissue biopsies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The test may not be accurate enough to replace standard biopsy, and results may not apply to all patients.
