About this study

Investigators aimed to evaluate the performance of The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer(EORTC) and the Spanish Urology Association for Oncological Treatment(CUETO) risk tables on all non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients(NMIBC), and those not treated with BCG and treated with BCG separately.

Read the detailed description

Risk tables can be used for the prediction of recurrence and especially progression of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer .The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer(EORTC) developed a risk table,which provides a scoring system for recurrence and progression risk.The EORTC risk table includes these factors: number of tumors,tumor size,prior recurrence rate,T stage,presence of carcinoma in situ(CIS),and grade for NMIBC patients not treated by maintenance bacillus Calmette-Guerin(BCG) instillation therapy.The Spanish Urology Association for Oncological Treatment(CUETO)later proposed a modified model to be used for patients only treated with BCG instillation.This risk table includes these factors:age,gender,recurrent tumor,number of tumors,T stage,CIS,and grade.

There is no risk table that can be used for NMIBC patients treated or not treated with BCG.Should we use the EORTC risk table for patients not treated with BCG and the CUETO table only for those treated with BCG or is one of them sufficient to predict recurrence and progression in all patients?The main aim of this study was to compare the utility of the EORTC and CUETO risk tables in all patients, and separately in patients not treated with BCG and treated with BCG.

What participants receive

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

  • Intravesical BCG instillationProcedure or surgery

    ıntravesical BCG instillations were done two weeks after transurethral resection of bladder cancer

What is being measured

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

  1. Recurrence or progression

    The primary end point for recurrence was accepted as the occurrence of the first recurrence or progression

    Measured: From date of participitant recruitment until the date of first documented progression or recurrence or death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intravesical BCG instillation in people with Bladder Cancer and Disease Progression, run by Ankara Training and Research Hospital.

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 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 5 Jun 2017. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Recurrence or progression (time frame: From date of participitant recruitment until the date of first documented progression or recurrence or death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months). 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 NCT03174912, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 5 Jun 2017.
