About this study

To develop a simple blood and urine test that we would perform before patients start their treatment to predict the risk that their bladder cancer might come back. To develop this test the investigators plan to analyze blood, urine and cancer tissue from bladder cancer patients and follow them closely during and after treatment. This will include looking for changes in proteins and genes that might play a role in bladder cancer biology. The investigators will then compare the information obtained from the studies of blood, urine and cancer tissue between patients that are cured and those whose cancer comes back. The knowledge about these differences between patients can then potentially be used to develop a blood or urine test to tell us who has a high risk for having bladder cancer come back.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Sample CollectionProcedure or surgery

    A collection of donated cancer and normal adjacent tissues, blood and urine which will be prospectively obtained from patients through the Tissue Procurement Shared Resources (TPSR) and The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center Biospecimen and Biorepository Resource (BBR) as needed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Identify novel biomarkers for bladder cancer

    Predict and detect bladder cancer recurrence, specifically through development of biomarkers using bladder cancer tissue samples as well as blood and urine samples. Detect the recurrence of disease through development of blood and urine biomarkers using pre-therapy and post-therapy biospecimens.

    Measured: up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bladder Cancer, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: No publishable data was acquired from the study and the primary researcher left over 5 years ago.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identify novel biomarkers for bladder cancer (time frame: up to 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Mar 2025.
