Bladder cancer study tracks mood swings during standard therapy
NCT ID NCT05672615
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how the standard BCG treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer may affect patients' mood. Researchers will collect urine and blood samples to measure immune responses, and participants will fill out mood questionnaires and daily diaries. The goal is to better understand any emotional changes during treatment, not to test a new drug or therapy.
