Trial summary

This study is being done to create a registry to help us learn more about urinary and other cancers. This will let us look at large groups of people who do and do not have this kind of cancer. The investigators will look at risk factors to learn more about how these impact cancer. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: A member of the patient's treatment team, the protocol investigator, or a member of the research team at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) will identify potential research subjects. At MSKCC the following outpatient clinics will be used to recruit UC cases: Urology and Genitourinary Oncology. Patients and families may also be directly referred to the study team by any MSKCC physician, external physician, or by the family itself.

Who may be able to join

  • Urothelial Cancer Cases
  • Must be ≥ 18 years of age AND
  • Must have a diagnosis of urothelial cancer AND
  • Must be an English-speaker
  • Non-Cancer Control Group
  • Must be ≥ 18 years of age AND
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Must not have cancer or a personal history of cancer, with the exception of skin cancer. AND
  • Must not be a blood relative of cases AND
  • Must not be a blood relative of another control AND
  • Must be an English-speaker
  • Family Member Control Group:
  • In select kindreds with a high prevalence of bladder cancer and/or very early onset bladder cancer, first- and second-degree family members of probands may be contacted by the MSKCC study team and invited to complete the questionnaire and submit a saliva sample.
  • Must be ≥ 18 years of age AND
  • Must be a blood relative of a case participant AND
  • Must be an English-speaker

Who cannot join

  • Have any condition, which in the opinion of the primary MSKCC clinician or investigators precludes their ability to provide informed consent.

About this study

This study is being done to create a registry to help us learn more about urinary and other cancers. This will let us look at large groups of people who do and do not have this kind of cancer.

The investigators will look at risk factors to learn more about how these impact cancer. The investigators will also look at genetic markers. These are genes that are found in a known place. They are often associated with a particular trait. If the gene changes in some way, it may predict cancer or response to treatment. The investigators will look for markers in your saliva.

This registry will help us develop better methods of:

Preventing these cancers. Diagnosing these cancers. Treating these cancers.

What participants receive

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

  • saliva sample and questionaireOther

    Urothelial Cancer Registry- Patients will complete a family history and urothelial cancer risk questionnaire, and will provide a buccal sample for germline DNA. If the cases have undergone germline sequencing as part of Protocol 12-245, they will not need to provide a buccal sample. If the cases have previously completed athe "the "Urothelial Baseline Questionnaire," in an MSKCC urology clinic they will not need to complete the urothelial cancer risk questionnaire.

  • saliva sample, questionaireOther

    Urothelial Cancer Registry- These participants will be requested to complete the risk factor questionnaire and to provide a saliva sample for DNA extraction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in regions discovered from whole genome scans, such as 8q24 & chromosome 3, & candidate genes, include NAT2 & GSTM1, prev found to be assoc with bladder ca risk, are assoc with UC in this study population

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes and regions listed above are associated with outcomes after UC diagnosis in the population

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urothelial Cancer and Renal Pelvis Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 4 sites 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 15 inclusion and 1 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in regions discovered from whole genome scans, such as 8q24 & chromosome 3, & candidate genes, include NAT2 & GSTM1, prev found to be assoc with bladder ca risk, are assoc with UC in this study population (time frame: 2 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 24 Aug 2026.
