Study summary

Is BladderLight® (BL) urine testing accurate, as a non-invasive method, to exclude presence of bladder cancer in patients.

Read the detailed description

There are three arms to the proposed performance evaluation of the integrated test - arms 1 and 2 are cross-sectional studies examining the accuracy of the BladderLight® test in the detection of cancer of the urinary bladder in patients attending either Gross Haematuria clinic for a potential primary (first time) diagnosis (arm 1) or patients attending Cystsoscopic Surveillance clinic as follow up to a previous, treated case of bladder cancer (arm 2). Arm 3 is a longitudinal examination of disease state following a negative cystoscopy with a positive BladderLight® test - this will examine whether BladderLight® can predict progression to overt disease. Arm three will not involve any further requirement for physical sampling, but will involve result checking on subsequent cystoscopies

Inclusion criteria

  1. Aged 18 years of age or above.
  2. Patients attending Cystoscopic Surveillance clinic for monitoring of recurrence of urothelial carcinoma after having been treated for urothelial carcinoma / bladder cancer (Arm 1) OR Patients attending Gross Haematuria clinic (or equivalent) for cystoscopy/ (if appropriate) relating to symptoms suggestive of possible urothelial cancer (Arm 2). Patients that will receive a cystoscopy as per standard practice.
  3. Able to understand and sign the written Form.
  4. Able and willing to follow the Protocol requirements

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participation in any clinical study of an Medicinal Product during the 8 weeks preceding the sampling period of the study.
  2. Patients that have a urinary tract stent, kidney stones or catheter
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Cystoscopic surveillance

    Patients with previous history of bladder cancer undergoing flexible cystoscopy will privide a urine sample to see if BladderLight system can exclude presence of bladder cancer

    Device: BladderLight®

  • Experimental
    Haematuria group

    Patients referred with haematuria to exclude bladder cancer will privide a urine sample to see if BladderLight system can exclude presence of bladder cancer

    Device: BladderLight®

  • No intervention
    Longitudinal group

    Patient with Negative cystoscopy with a positive BladderLight® test will be followed for 12 months to see if they subsequently develop bladder cancer.

Interventions

  • DeviceBladderLight®

    Using a cell collection device to look for the presence of bladder cancer cells

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To exclude presence of bladder cancer with sensitivity of 85%

    In each cohort of the study sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive value for detection of cancer will be calculated.

    Time frame: 12 month
