About this study

Official title: Determining the Specificity and Sensitivity of the BladderLight™ Assay as a Diagnostic and Risk Stratification Tool for Bladder Cancer

Is BladderLight® (BL) urine testing accurate, as a non-invasive method, to exclude presence of bladder cancer in patients.

Read the detailed description

There are three arms to the proposed performance evaluation of the integrated test - arms 1 and 2 are cross-sectional studies examining the accuracy of the BladderLight® test in the detection of cancer of the urinary bladder in patients attending either Gross Haematuria clinic for a potential primary (first time) diagnosis (arm 1) or patients attending Cystsoscopic Surveillance clinic as follow up to a previous, treated case of bladder cancer (arm 2). Arm 3 is a longitudinal examination of disease state following a negative cystoscopy with a positive BladderLight® test - this will examine whether BladderLight® can predict progression to overt disease. Arm three will not involve any further requirement for physical sampling, but will involve result checking on subsequent cystoscopies

Study groups in NCT03427034
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cystoscopic surveillanceExperimentalPatients with previous history of bladder cancer undergoing flexible cystoscopy will privide a urine sample to see if BladderLight system can exclude presence of bladder cancer
Receives: Device: BladderLight®
Haematuria groupExperimentalPatients referred with haematuria to exclude bladder cancer will privide a urine sample to see if BladderLight system can exclude presence of bladder cancer
Receives: Device: BladderLight®
Longitudinal groupNo interventionPatient with Negative cystoscopy with a positive BladderLight® test will be followed for 12 months to see if they subsequently develop bladder cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. To exclude presence of bladder cancer with sensitivity of 85%

    In each cohort of the study sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive value for detection of cancer will be calculated.

    Measured: 12 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing BladderLight® in people with Bladder Cancer, run by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2018. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact kasra Paeb-Parsy, MBBS, FRCSEd (+44(0)7769714323, kasra.saeb-parsy@nhs.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To exclude presence of bladder cancer with sensitivity of 85% (time frame: 12 month). 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 NCT03427034, 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 9 Feb 2018.
