Trial summary

The investigators proposes a prospective cohort study in patients with high risk bladder cancer who have opted for radical cystectomy. The investigators aim to correlate pre-operative measures of body composition, cognitive and functional status with impaired survival at 6 months after cystectomy. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 65 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Older adult

Study population: Patients meeting eligibility criteria will be recruited from genitourinary cancer clinics at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. Patients undergoing initial consultation, active treatment, or surveillance after endoscopic or intravesical therapy will be identified and screened. Interested patients will be counseled by Dr. Lee or her designee, who will review the rationale and benefits of the study, the potential risks and probability of their occurrence, and the procedures to minimize these risks. Patients who wish to enter the study will be asked to sign a consent form that meets the requirements of the University of Michigan IRB. A signed copy of the patient consent will be entered into the medical record.

Who may be able to join

  • Histologic diagnosis of bladder carcinoma (any histology permitted)
  • Planned treatment with radical cystectomy.
  • Age 65 years or older at the time of radical cystectomy
  • Able to give consent
  • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is permissible
  • Prior malignancy is permissible, without evidence of disease for at least 2 years
  • Concomitant localized prostate cancer, skin cancer, and in situ malignancies are permissible.
  • Willingness to complete surgical follow-up at the University of Michigan for at least 6 months after radical cystectomy.

Who cannot join

  • Evidence of metastatic bladder cancer
  • Life expectancy less than one year
  • Concurrent treatment on another clinical trial. Non-intervention supportive care trials or non-treatment trials, e.g. QOL, are allowed

About this study

The investigators proposes a prospective cohort study in patients with high risk bladder cancer who have opted for radical cystectomy. The investigators aim to correlate pre-operative measures of body composition, cognitive and functional status with impaired survival at 6 months after cystectomy. Impairment in this context will be a compilation of several specific objective measures including: 1) death from any cause, 2) major complication (Clavien score7 ≥ 3), 3) loss of independent living status, 4) performance status, and 5) global well-being. The study team believes that Impairment Free Survival is an important endpoint as it accounts for many aspects of a patient's functional status that might alter a patient's choice to proceed with radical surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Impairment Free Survival

    Impairment-free survival is defined as the time from radical cystectomy to the identification of: 1) major complication (Clavien score7 ≥ 3), 2) loss of independent living status, 3) ECOG performance status ≥ 3 beyond 4 weeks from RC, 4) global well-being or 5) death from any cause. Patients who drop-out before the 6-month end of study and who have not had an impairment event will be censored at their time of drop-out.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bladder Cancer, run by University of Michigan 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?

The sponsor lists 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2017. 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.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Impairment Free Survival (time frame: 6 months). 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 27 Jul 2017.
