Trial summary

Although transurethral resection is the main treatment option for stage Ta and T1 disease, relapse is frequently detected. Tumor number, tumor size, T stage, presence of in situ carcinoma and tumor grade are risk factors for recurrence. Read more about this study

About this study

Although transurethral resection is the main treatment option for stage Ta and T1 disease, relapse is frequently detected. Tumor number, tumor size, T stage, presence of in situ carcinoma and tumor grade are risk factors for recurrence. The relationship between post voiding residual urine volume and bladder tumor recurrence and progression has not been clearly established. The investigators aimed to examine the effect of high post voiding residual urine volume on recurrence and progression based on the hypothesis that tumor cells circulating in the bladder may increase with excess residual urine.

Although transurethral resection is the main treatment option for stage Ta and T1 disease, relapse is frequently detected. Tumor number, tumor size, T stage, presence of in situ carcinoma and tumor grade are risk factors for recurrence. The relationship between post voiding residual urine volume and bladder tumor recurrence and progression has not been clearly established. Participants who underwent transurethral resection for bladder tumor will be included in the study. The investigators aimed to examine the effect of high post voiding residual urine volume on recurrence and progression based on the hypothesis that tumor cells circulating in the bladder may increase with excess residual urine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bladder Cancer Recurrent and Non-Invasive Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma, run by Istanbul Medeniyet University at 3 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Recurrence (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04617743, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 14 Jul 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
