NCT ID NCT06986304
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new type of ultrasound called Super-Resolution Ultrasound Localization Microscopy to see if it can better detect bladder cancer before surgery. Thirty patients scheduled for bladder removal will receive this ultrasound while under anesthesia. The results will be compared with standard pathology to see how accurate the new technique is.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Super-Resolution Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (imaging technique)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a more accurate, non-invasive way to detect bladder cancer before surgery, potentially improving treatment planning.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The technique is investigational and may not be more accurate than current methods.
