About this study

Official title: A Clinical, Non-intervention Study of the Cxbladder Urine Test for the Detection of Recurrent Urothelial Carcinoma (UC)

The aim of this trial is to determine the performance characteristics of the Cxbladder test for the detection of recurrent urothelial carcinoma (UC) in patients with a recent history of urinary tract UC, who have been treated according to standard practice and are undergoing routine investigative cystoscopy.

The gold standard for determination of clinical truth is cystoscopy, plus any follow up investigations relating to the current visit.

Being tested
Cxbladder

Carcinoma, Transitional Cell

What participants receive

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

  • CxbladderOther

    Cxbladder is a non invasive UC detection test measuring five messenger RNA (mRNA) biomarkers present at elevated levels in patients presenting with urothelial carcinoma.

Study groups in NCT02700659
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
UC monitoring patientsPatients undergoing investigative cystoscopy for the detection of urothelial carcinoma as part of a standard-of-care schedule of investigations. All patients will have urine samples taken and analyzed for NMP22 ELISA, NMP22 BladderChek, urine cytology and Cxbladder. No results for any tests under evaluation in this study are provided to the clinician for diagnostic purposes.
Receives: Other: Cxbladder

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of participants with bladder cancer who are correctly identified as having cancer (true positives) and no cancer (true negatives) by the Cxbladder test.

    The Cxbladder test results will be compared to that of cystoscopy, which is the gold standard method for diagnosing urothelial cancer; the true positive and true negative rates will be measured, along with the false positive and false negative rates of the test. The results will be reported as sensitivity and specificity of the Cxbladder test for detecting urothelial cancer in patients with recurrent disease.

    Measured: The outcome measure will be assessed by 6 months after trial completion.

  2. Probability that patients identified as having cancer and no cancer by the Cxbladder test truly have cancer (positive predictive value; PPV), and truly have no cancer (negative predictive value; NPV) respectively.

    Measured: The outcome measure will be assessed by 6 months after trial completion.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Comparison of the Cxbladder test's sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV with that of Cytology.

    Performance characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV) of the Cxbladder test for detecting recurring urothelial cancer will be compared to urine cytology, in addition to the gold standard test (cystoscopy). All comparator tests will be carried out on the same voided urine sample used for Cxbladder tests.

    Measured: The outcome measure will be assessed by 6 months after trial completion.

  2. Comparison of the Cxbladder test's sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV with that of NMP22 ELISA Assay.

    Performance characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV) of the Cxbladder test for detecting recurring urothelial cancer will be compared to NMP22 ELISA, in addition to the gold standard test (cystoscopy). All comparator tests will be carried out on the same voided urine sample used for Cxbladder tests.

    Measured: The outcome measure will be assessed by 6 months after trial completion.

  3. Comparison of the Cxbladder test's sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV with that of NMP22 BladderChek Assay.

    Performance characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV) of the Cxbladder test for detecting recurring urothelial cancer will be compared to NMP22 BladderChek, in addition to the gold standard test (cystoscopy). All comparator tests will be carried out on the same voided urine sample used for Cxbladder tests.

    Measured: The outcome measure will be assessed by 6 months after trial completion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urothelial Carcinoma, run by Pacific Edge Limited at 11 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 3 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 4 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 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 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?

Proportion of participants with bladder cancer who are correctly identified as having cancer (true positives) and no cancer (true negatives) by the Cxbladder test. (time frame: The outcome measure will be assessed by 6 months after trial completion.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02700659, 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 4 Mar 2020.
