  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Potential subjects will be identified from patients who are visiting Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital (LBJ) Houston for evaluation of bladder cancer or a suspicious bladder lesion/clinical symptomatology by cystoscopy and bladder biopsy or from LBJ patients who are undergoing cystoscopy as part of their routine clinical care.

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosed with clinically suspicious bladder lesion or clinical finding; or who are undergoing cystoscopy as part of their routine clinical care.
  • Must be willing and able to participate and provide written informed consent
  • Women of childbearing age who have the possibility of being pregnant must have a negative pregnancy test prior to participation

Who cannot join

  • Patient with sufficient evidence of cognitive impairment that limits the subject's ability to understand the protocol, provide informed consent, or to comply with the protocol procedures.
  • Women with the possibility of having the pregnancy.

About this study

The goal of this study is to develop, optimize, and validate a High Resolution Imaging System in the bladder that displays images in real-time, providing automated diagnostic criteria for bladder cancer screening. High resolution images of normal bladder tissue and suspicious bladder lesions will be collected from patients who present to the study site for clinical evaluation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bladder Cancer, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 25 Jun 2021. 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?

Specificity of Bladder Cancer Detection Imaging (time frame: baseline (at the time of imaging)). 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 NCT02340650, 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 25 Jun 2021.
