Trial summary

This study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial in which the efficacy between SPIES assisted and WLI assisted TURB are compared. Subjects in the experimental arm (Arm A) will undergo SPIES assisted TURB, whereas subjects in the control arm (Arm B) will receive treatment with WLI assisted TURB only. 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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Has signed informed consent
  • Is scheduled for treatment of a primary or recurrent NMIBC
  • Is aged 18 years or older
  • Has or has had no tumors in the upper urinary tract
  • Has had no previous irradiation of the pelvis

Who cannot join

  • Gross haematuria at the time of TURB (i.e. heavy bladder bleeding resulting in marked amounts of blood in the urine which may interfere with cystoscopy)
  • Participation in other clinical studies with investigational drugs either concurrently or within the last 30 days

About this study

Official title: The SPIES Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Study - A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study; A Multicenter International Randomized Controlled Study to Compare the Outcome Using the Storz Professional Image Enhancement System (SPIES) Versus White Light Imaging (WLI) During TURB of Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC).

This study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial in which the efficacy between SPIES assisted and WLI assisted TURB are compared. Subjects in the experimental arm (Arm A) will undergo SPIES assisted TURB, whereas subjects in the control arm (Arm B) will receive treatment with WLI assisted TURB only. Baseline characteristics will be recorded, as well as short and long-term follow up.

Read the detailed description

This study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial in which the recurrence rates of cancer between SPIES assisted and WLI assisted TURB are compared. Randomization is stratified by tumor multiplicity (single or multiple), tumor status (primary or recurrent) and macroscopic findings (papillary or flat, where CIS is scored as flat lesion). Patients randomized into the experimental arm (Arm A) will undergo SPIES and WLI assisted TURB, whereas the patients in the control arm (Arm B) will undergo WLI only assisted TURB. WLI is chosen as control, since it is considered the gold standard for detecting bladder tumors. Short and long term follow up will be recorded in order to evaluate the health gains for patients over a longer period. Perioperative (30 days) complications will be compared between the two treatment arms to evaluate the safety of SPIES.

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the recurrence rate of tumor at 12 months following SPIES assisted TURB (Arm A) with White Light Imaging only assisted TURB (Arm B)

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. 1. To assess the recurrence rate of tumor at short and long term follow up (3 months and 3 years) after SPIES or WLI assisted TURB in patients with NMIBC.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. 2. To assess the peri-operative morbidity (30 days) between SPIES and WLI assisted TURB by comparing the proportion of adverse events and using the Clavien-Dindo score.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SPIES+WLI assisted TURB and WLI assisted TURB in people with Bladder Cancer, run by Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 28 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

To compare the recurrence rate of tumor at 12 months following SPIES assisted TURB (Arm A) with White Light Imaging only assisted TURB (Arm B) (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02252549, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Jul 2021.
