Study summary

This is a prospective, multicenter observational study designed to collect urine and tumor biospecimens and associated clinical data from patients undergoing evaluation, treatment, or surveillance for urothelial carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

All study participants will provide a urine sample at baseline, study enrollment. Each participant will then be followed longitudinally for up to 5 years during which urine, tissue (if applicable), and clinical data will be collected from the standard of care clinical visits. Urine samples will be collected in Convergent Genomics' proprietary urine collection system.

Study population

Adult patients undergoing evaluation, treatment, or surveillance for urologic tract cancers, including bladder cancer, upper tract urothelial cell carcinoma, or urethral urothelial cell carcinoma, as well as individuals undergoing evaluation for hematuria. Participants are identified and enrolled at participating clinical sites.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

GROUP 1: Bladder Cancer and/or Upper Tract UCC

  • Male or female ≥ 18 years of age who are scheduled for transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and/or of urinary tract or
  • Patients on surveillance who are negative for recurrence or tumor at the time of study enrollment but have had previous urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) or
  • Patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) or non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) scheduled for NAC and/or subsequent radical cystectomy (RC)
  • Able to provide consent prior to diagnostic TURBT, nephroureterectomy, or administration of NAC and/or RC
  • Able to provide at least 20cc urine. If patient cannot void sufficient volume of urine, urologist can pull urine from the bladder via catheter or cystoscope. Urine should not be collected immediately after resection
  • Participation in other bladder cancer studies is allowed. Experimental therapy must be documented in the case report forms

GROUP 2: Hematuria Controls

  • Male or female ≥ 18 years of age presenting with gross or microscopic hematuria as defined by standard of care
  • No evidence of and/or history of bladder cancer, upper tract UCC, kidney cancer and/or prostate cancer at the time of collection
  • Able to provide consent
  • Able to provide at least 20cc urine
  • Participation in other studies is allowed. Experimental therapy must be documented in the case report forms

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

GROUP 1: Bladder Cancer and/or Upper Tract UCC

  • Clinical, symptomatic urinary tract infection at time of initial urine collection
  • Unable to provide adequate urine sample

GROUP 2: Hematuria Controls

- Evidence and/or History of bladder cancer, upper tract UCC, kidney cancer and/or prostate cancer at the time of collection

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Recurrence Free Survival (RFS)

    RFS is defined as the time from the urine specimen collection to the first histopathologically confirmed recurrence of urothelial carcinoma

    Time frame: From enrollment through completion of available clinical follow-up, up to 5 years.

  2. Diagnostic Detection Performance in Hematuria Triage

    Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the investigational urine assay for the detection of urothelial cancer among subjects undergoing evaluation for hematuria, comparing subjects with histopathologically confirmed cancer to subjects without evidence of cancer at the time of diagnostic workup.

    Time frame: From enrollment through completion of diagnostic evaluation, up to 5 years.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Comparison to Alternative Urine Biomarkers

    Comparison of the investigational urine biomarker to alternative urine biomarker assays, including cytology and UroVysion FISH, for the detection of urothelial cancer recurrence. Comparison will include lead time, sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value.

    Time frame: From enrollment up to 5 years.

  2. Lead Time for Detection of Cancer Recurrence

    A subject with diagnostic lead time will be defined as a subject with a negative cystoscopy and concurrent positive investigational urine biomarker with confirmed urothelial cancer recurrence on study. Lead time will be calculated as the time from the positive urine biomarker result to the date of histopathologic confirmation.

    Time frame: From enrollment up to 5 years.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Oct 2019 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2034, 182 months after the start.

Of 167 non-industry observational studies under Urinary Bladder Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 60 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 30. This study's planned 182 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 202 studies reached it within 60 months; a quarter within 32.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 29, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
