Trial summary

The purposes of this study is to evaluate a new genetic-based test which will identify patients diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer before their surgery, who might have specific genes, which will increase their chances of recurrence of cancer after their surgery.

About this study

The purposes of this study is to evaluate a new genetic-based test which will identify patients diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer before their surgery, who might have specific genes, which will increase their chances of recurrence of cancer after their surgery.

Some patients who are diagnosed with bladder cancer and have their had bladder removed, will have a recurrence of cancer sometime after their surgery. This recurrence is usually caused by tumor cells that originated from the bladder tumor and traveled to other parts of the body, which is called metastatic cancer. Some patients are more likely than others to have metastatic disease. This test may help in identifying these patients who might develop metastases from having these specific genes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Blood drawGenetic

    The research intervention is the blood sample only collected prior to surgery. Analyses of the data will be made by correlating the gene profile expression with the pathologic finding at surgery and the clinical status of the patients 2 years after surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assess the ability of a mononuclear-cell gene signature to predict the presence of metastatic cancer in the regional L.N. of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer at the time of cystectomy with PLND for presumed localized muscle-invasive disease.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assess the ability of a mononuclear-cell gene signature, alone or in combination with pathological staging, to predict any metastatic disease w/i 2 yrs of cystectomy with PLND in pts. with clinical organ-confined muscle-invasive bladder cancer staging.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bladder Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 2 sites 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?

The sponsor lists 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Assess the ability of a mononuclear-cell gene signature to predict the presence of metastatic cancer in the regional L.N. of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer at the time of cystectomy with PLND for presumed localized muscle-invasive disease. (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 6 Mar 2015.
