About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Xpert® Bladder Cancer Monitor Assay Compared to Cystoscopy for the Follow-up of Patients With History of Low or Intermediate Risk Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC): an Observational Prospective International Multicenter Study

Bladder cancer is the 5th most common cancer in Europe, with more than 151,000 new cases diagnosed in 2012 (4% of the total). Bladder cancer has the highest recurrence rate of any malignancy, often as high as 70% within 5 years of successful treatment. This high recurrence rate requires diligent and accurate monitoring as a means for early diagnosis and treatment. Considering the burden associated to repeated invasive cystoscopies, there is a need for robust but accurate tests for surveillance. In that prospect, urinary molecular tests have been developed although none were deemed adequate in the European clinical guidelines to replace cystoscopies. The Xpert Bladder Cancer Monitor Assay is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test designed to monitor for the recurrence of bladder cancer in patients previously diagnosed with this cancer. The test provides a fast and accurate result, is non-invasive and easy to perform. The aim of this study is to assess the non-inferiority of the Xpert Bladder Cancer Monitor assay in detecting recurrences in comparison to cystoscopy in the follow-up of patients with low or intermediate risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

What participants receive

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

  • Xpert Bladder Cancer MonitorDiagnostic test

    The Xpert Bladder Cancer Monitor Assay is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test designed to monitor for the recurrence of bladder cancer in patients previously diagnosed with bladder cancer. It should be used in conjunction with other clinical measures to assess disease recurrence. The test provides a fast and accurate result, is non-invasive and easy to perform.The test utilizes a voided urine specimen and measures the level of five target mRNAs (ABL1, CRH, IGF2, UPK1B, ANXA10) by means of real-time, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint is the comparison of the number of recurrences detected between the standard of care (cystoscopy) and a urine biomarker assay

    The primary outcome measure is the ratio of patients presenting recurrence, comparing the number of patients with positive cystoscopies over the duration of 12 months to the number of patients with positive Xpert Bladder Cancer Monitor Assay at D0 (at enrollment).

    Measured: 12 months from patient enrollment in the study.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Comparison of the number of patients with negative Xpert Bladder Cancer Monitor assay results and the number of patients with negative cystoscopy results at D0 who are not presenting with recurrent bladder cancer within 12 months of enrolment cystoscopy.

    The number of patients with negative Xpert Bladder Cancer Monitor assay results will be compared to the number of patients with negative cystoscopy results at D0 who are not presenting with recurrent bladder cancer within 12 months of enrolment cystoscopy. The absence of cancer is defined as absence of suggestion of cancer on cystoscopy performed over 12 months or positive cystoscopy at 12 months not confirmed by TURB.

    Measured: 12 months from patient enrollment in the study.

  2. Comparison of the number of positive and negative tests of Xpert Bladder Cancer Monitor and cystoscopy results at the time of each NMIBC follow-up assessment.

    The number of positive and negative tests of Xpert Bladder Cancer Monitor will be compared to the cystoscopy results at the time of each NMIBC follow-up assessment.

    Measured: At each patient follow-up up to 12 months of study.

  3. EuroQol Five Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L questionnaire) at Day 0

    Measure of the quality of life of patients with the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire at Day 0 for 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression).

    Measured: At patient enrollment

  4. Patient numeric scale for cystoscopy discomfort

    Evaluation of patient's cystoscopy discomfort with a patient numeric scale to complete by the patient after each. The patient self-rates on a 0 (no discomfort) to 10 (maximum discomfort) numeric scale.

    Measured: At each patient follow-up up to 12 months of study.

  5. Assessment of medical care resources consumption related to bladder cancer at 1 month after each cystoscopy.

    Assessment of medical care resources consumption related to bladder cancer follow-up with the use of a patient questionnaire completed 1 month after each cystoscopy:

    • Number of general practitioner or urologist visits performed during 1 month after the cystoscopy.
    • Number of hospitalization/ duration of hospitalization during 1 month after the cystoscopy
    • Nature of additional medical examination performed during 1 month after the cystoscopy
    • Nature of additional treatments received during 1 month after the cystoscopy
    • Number of sick leave/ duration of sick leave during 1 month after the cystoscopy

    Measured: 1 month after each cystoscopy through study completion.

  6. EuroQol health visual analogue scale at Day 0.

    Measure of the patient self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale numbered from 0 (best health) to 100 (worst health) at Day 0.

    Measured: At patient enrollment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer, run by Cepheid at 13 sites in 9 countries.

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 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 13 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Austria, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Czechia and 4 more countries. 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?

The primary endpoint is the comparison of the number of recurrences detected between the standard of care (cystoscopy) and a urine biomarker assay (time frame: 12 months from patient enrollment in the study.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Feb 2023.
