New device aims to calm bladder irritation during cancer therapy
NCT ID NCT06245603
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding Hydeal Cyst® instillations can reduce lower urinary tract symptoms in people receiving standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. About 200 participants will receive either BCG or MMC, and half will also get Hydeal Cyst®. The main goal is to see if symptoms improve, measured by a questionnaire.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Hydeal Cyst® (a device used as an intravesical instillation)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a way to reduce urinary discomfort during standard bladder cancer therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with no phase designation, so results are uncertain. The device is tested alongside standard treatments, not as a replacement.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female ≥ 18 years of age * ECOG PS 0-2 * Histologically confirmed diagnosis of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, naïve and recurrent. * Patients candidate to BCG or MMC intravesical induction therapy. * Transurethral resection (TURB/re-TURB when indicated) performed in the last 12 weeks. * IPSS score ≤19 * Negative urine culture within 2 weeks before T0 * For women who are not postmenopausal (i.e., \< 1 year after last menstruation) or surgical-ly sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus) and who are sexually active: agreement to use an adequate method of contraception (oral contraceptives, intrauterine contraceptive de-vice, or barrier method of contraception in conjunction with spermicidal jelly) during the study period * Signed the study informed consent prior to any study specific procedures. * Will and ability to comply with the protocol Exclusion Criteria: * Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC); bladder diverticula; urethral stenosis; difficult catheterization; reduced bladder compliance; increased bladder compliance; post-voiding residue \> 150 ml; * Surgery or invasive procedures planned during the study and interfering with evaluation about efficacy and safety of it. * Female patients with child-bearing potential must not be pregnant or lactating, or not willing to use adequate contraception for the duration of study * Pelvic radiotherapy within 24 weeks prior to the beginning of the study treatment. * Urinary tract infection requiring antibiotics * Have a known hypersensitivity to any substance present in the investigational device. * Neurogenic bladder * Any condition for that, in the opinion of the Investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the subject.
