Collection of biological samples from patients and healthy donors for urological diseases
Creation of a Bank of Biological Material From Patients and Healthy Donors (Biobank) for the Study of Urological and Uro-oncological Pathologies - URBBAN
IRCCS San Raffaele · NCT06187870
This study is collecting blood, urine, and other samples from patients with urological diseases and healthy donors to see if they can find new ways to diagnose and understand these conditions better.

What this trial studies
This project focuses on collecting fresh biological materials from patients undergoing surgical procedures for urological and uro-oncological conditions, as well as samples from healthy donors. The aim is to gather a variety of biological samples, including blood, urine, and other fluids, to facilitate research into the pathophysiology of urological diseases. By correlating these samples with clinical histories, the study seeks to identify diagnostic and prognostic markers associated with disease progression. This biobank will provide valuable resources for future studies in urology and oncology.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include male and female patients over 18 years old who are affected by urological or uro-oncological diseases.
Not a fit: Patients under 18 years old or those unable to provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of urological diseases and lead to improved diagnostic and treatment strategies for patients.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies utilizing biobanks for similar research have shown significant success in advancing medical knowledge and treatment options.
