What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests a new approach to treat high-risk bladder cancer without removing the bladder. Doctors will first remove the tumor through the urethra, then freeze the tumor base with a special balloon, followed by immunotherapy and low-dose chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can keep the cancer from coming back and help patients live longer, while preserving their bladder and quality of life. The trial plans to enroll 180 patients in China.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Cryoablation (freezing) plus anti-PD-1 immunotherapy (e.g., Camrelizumab, Tislelizumab) and chemotherapy (Gemcitabine + Cisplatin)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a less invasive, bladder-sparing treatment option that reduces recurrence and improves survival for patients with high-risk bladder cancer.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage, non-randomized study with only 180 patients, so results may not apply broadly. The combination therapy also carries risks of side effects from immunotherapy and chemotherapy.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age between 18 and 85 years old, gender not restricted; 2. Clinically diagnosed as patients with bladder tumors, and classified as high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer through biopsy or TURBT staging. \* High-risk non-muscle bladder cancer is defined as meeting any of the following criteria: ① T1 stage tumor; ② High-grade urothelial carcinoma; ③ Simultaneously meeting: multiple, recurrent and diameter \> 3cm bladder cancer; 3. The number of tumors is no more than 5; 4. Have the intention to preserve the bladder; 5. Voluntarily sign the informed consent form and be able to cooperate throughout the trial. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Preoperative imaging indicated involvement of organs around the bladder (such as ureters, prostate, rectum, etc.), the pelvic or abdominal wall, or lymph node metastasis (N1) and distant metastasis (M1) stage; 2. Preoperative imaging indicated hydronephrosis, pathology suggested carcinoma in situ or diagnostic TURBT indicated diffuse tumor growth during the procedure; 3. Known to be allergic to chemotherapy drugs and/or immunotherapy drugs; 4. Complicated with severe infectious diseases such as bacteremia and toxemia; 5. Complicated with severe coagulation dysfunction; 6. Suffering from serious diseases such as heart, brain, lung, liver, kidney, etc., and unable to tolerate surgery; 7. Suffering from other malignant tumors; 8. Pregnant or lactating women; 9. Complicated with severe complications such as urethral stenosis that cannot tolerate cystoscopy surgery; 10. Complicated with prohibited medications, including systemic anti-tumor drugs and immunosuppressants; 11. Participating in other clinical trials simultaneously; 12. Other situations that the investigator considers inappropriate for participating in this clinical trial.
