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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This study is testing whether regular urine tests every 6 months can find bladder cancer earlier in people at high risk, such as smokers over 50 and those with long-term workplace chemical exposure. Researchers will enroll 1,000 participants and track how many cancers are detected. The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive screening strategy for a cancer that currently has no standard screening method.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
urine test
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a simple, regular urine test as a standard way to catch bladder cancer early in high-risk people, potentially saving lives.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage screening study, not a treatment trial. It may not prove that earlier detection improves outcomes, and false positives could cause unnecessary worry or procedures.

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
