About this study

Official title: An Open, Comparative, Within Patient, Controlled Phase III, Multicenter Study Of HEXVIX Fluorescence Cystoscopy And White Light Cystoscopy In the Detection Of Carcinoma In Situ In Patients With Bladder Cancer

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures such as cystoscopy may improve the ability to detect cancer and to determine the extent of disease.

PURPOSE: Diagnostic trial to compare the effectiveness of cystoscopy using hexyl 5-aminolevulinate and two light sources in detecting carcinoma in situ in patients who have bladder cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare blue light fluorescent cystoscopy with reconstituted hexyl 5-aminolevulinate (Hexvix®) vs white light cystoscopy for the detection of carcinoma in situ (CIS) in patients with bladder cancer.
  • Compare the positive and false detection rates of histologically confirmed non-CIS lesions and dysplasia by these modalities in these patients.
  • Compare the false detection rate of histologically confirmed CIS lesions by these modalities in these patients.
  • Compare the number of tumor lesions and dysplasia detected by these modalities in these patients.
  • Compare management of patients after evaluation with these modalities.
  • Determine the safety of reconstituted hexyl 5-aminolevulinate (Hexvix®) in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study.

Patients undergo bladder catheterization and instillation of reconstituted hexyl 5-aminolevulinate (Hexvix®). After 60 minutes the bladder is evacuated, and the patient undergoes cystoscopic examination of the bladder by white light and then blue light fluorescence. Biopsies are taken of all suspicious areas seen under white and/or blue light modalities, and one normal-appearing area seen under both light modalities, and papillary lesions are resected.

Patients are followed at 7 days after procedure.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 420 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing hexaminolevulinate, biopsy and cystoscopy in people with Bladder Cancer, run by Photocure at 1 site 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?

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 23 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

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 23 Oct 2013.
