About this study

The goal of this research study is to improve detection of cancer outside of the bladder through genetic testing and improved imaging.

Read the detailed description

If participant agrees to take part in the study, a piece of the tumor that is removed during the biopsy will be collected for research purposes. The tissue will be sent to the laboratory for genetic testing.

If they have had a computed tomography scan (CT scan) or magnetic resonance imaging scan (MRI) recently, information collected from the scan will be collected. If they have not had one recently, they will have an MRI with contrast as part of this study. They will receive a separate consent form for this MRI scan.

The results of the test will be given to their doctor, but the results will not be used to decide their treatment.

After they have surgery, information will be collected from their medical records, such as their diagnosis.

Length of Study:

  • Their participation on this study will be over once their surgery is completed.
  • This is an investigational study.

Up to 100 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

What participants receive

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

  • Tissue BiopsyProcedure or surgery

    During bladder cancer surgery, tissue specimen taken for molecular profiling.

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)Procedure or surgery

    Also called MRI

    3 Tesla pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed four weeks after bladder cancer surgery.

Study groups in NCT02203136
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC)During bladder cancer surgery, whole genome gene expression array assays obtained on tumor biopsy specimens. Analysis to determine biologic subtypes which will then be correlated with final pathology, identifying the subtype(s) associated with noc-MIBC. 3 Tesla pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed four weeks after bladder cancer surgery.
Receives: Procedure: Tissue Biopsy; Procedure: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

What is being measured

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

  1. Detection Improvement of Cancer Outside of the Bladder

    Improved cross sectional imaging with pelvic MRI, and biopsy specimen molecular profiling used to identify muscle invasive bladder cancer (noc-MIBC). Analysis to determine biologic subtypes which will then be correlated with final pathology, identifying the subtype(s) associated with noc-MIBC.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bladder Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 22 May 2019. 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?

Detection Improvement of Cancer Outside of the Bladder (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 22 May 2019.
