Trial summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if washing out the bladder with large volumes of saline after surgical removal of bladder tumors helps to decrease the number of loose cells floating within the bladder after surgery. Anticipated decrease in tumor recurrence and/or progression rates will be measured. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if washing out the bladder with large volumes of saline after surgical removal of bladder tumors helps to decrease the number of loose cells floating within the bladder after surgery. Anticipated decrease in tumor recurrence and/or progression rates will be measured.

Read the detailed description

Bladder tumor recurrence after resection of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) occurs in 50-70% of patients despite the use of adjuvant anticancer therapy after surgery. This is a single-arm, non-randomized pilot study looking to determine whether post-Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) cells counts differ significantly between continuous washout of the bladder (CBI) with normal saline compared to pre-CBI wash out. Anticipated decrease in tumor recurrence and/or progression rates will also be measured, and each participant will act as their own internal control.

What participants receive

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

  • CBIProcedure or surgery

    CBI with 5 liters normal saline in 1 liter increments up to 2 hours after TURBT procedure.

Study groups in NCT03839472
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Continuous Bladder Irrigation (CBI)ExperimentalEach subject will have a TURBT procedure performed per standard of care procedure, which will be followed by the study intervention - Continuous Bladder Irrigation (CBI) for up to two hours after procedure. Six samples of discarded bladder irrigation will be collected from each participant (N=20) immediately after TURBT and after the completion of each liter of normal saline 0.9% irrigation (1 to 5 L) for a total of 120 samples.
Receives: Procedure: CBI

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in mean cells count before versus after liter 1 of CBI

    The mean cell count obtained before CBI will be compared to the mean cell counts obtained after each liter (5L total) of CBI.

    Measured: Immediately after CBI procedure.

  2. Change in mean cells count before versus after liter 2 of CBI

    The mean cell count obtained before CBI will be compared to the mean cell counts obtained after each liter (5L total) of CBI.

    Measured: Immediately after CBI procedure.

  3. Change in mean cells count before versus after liter 3 of CBI

    The mean cell count obtained before CBI will be compared to the mean cell counts obtained after each liter (5L total) of CBI.

    Measured: Immediately after CBI procedure.

  4. Change in mean cells count before versus after liter 4 of CBI

    The mean cell count obtained before CBI will be compared to the mean cell counts obtained after each liter (5L total) of CBI.

    Measured: Immediately after CBI procedure.

  5. Change in mean cells count before versus after liter 5 of CBI

    The mean cell count obtained before CBI will be compared to the mean cell counts obtained after each liter (5L total) of CBI.

    Measured: Immediately after CBI procedure.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Recurrence rate of patients who underwent CBI post TURBT.

    Participants are followed for additional 2 years during which time, they will receive standard of care. Data collected during their 2-year follow up includes monitoring for recurrence and progression rates.

    Recurrence is defined as the identification of a recurrent tumor of same grade and or stage or lower

    Measured: 2 years after end of treatment

  2. Progression rate of patients who underwent CBI post TURBT.

    Participants are followed for additional 2 years during which time, they will receive standard of care. Data collected during their 2-year follow up includes monitoring for recurrence and progression rates.

    Progression is defined as a recurrent tumor of higher grade and or stage

    Measured: 2 years after end of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CBI in people with Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) and Bladder Tumor (TURBT), run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 2 inclusion and 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2022. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change in mean cells count before versus after liter 1 of CBI (time frame: Immediately after CBI procedure.). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 May 2022.
