About this study

The primary objective is to evaluate whether one-phase nephrographic CT (experimental) is sufficient to detect urothelial cell carcinoma in patients with hematuria compared to the traditional four-phase CT (control).

Read the detailed description

Responsible centers Oslo University Hospital, Aker. Division of Radiology and Nuclear medicine.

Study type: Prospective clinical trial

Study design: One sample paired proportion, non-inferiority study with a 7.5% non-inferiority limit.

Investigational product: One phase nephrographic CT (experimental arm) vs. Four-phase CT (control arm)

Objective:The primary objective is to evaluate whether one-phase nephrographic CT (experimental) is sufficient to detect urothelial cell carcinoma in patients with asymptomatic macroscopic hematuria compared to the traditional four-phase CT (control).

Primary endpoints: The difference in accuracy between the experimental- and control arm.

there will also be a secondary reading in order to asses interobserver variability for both the experimental and the control arm

Sample size: 250 patients

Being tested
CT
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Transitional Cell, Carcinoma, Renal Cell, Nephrolithiasis

What participants receive

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

  • CTDiagnostic test

    the CT consist of four phases; non-enhanced, corticomedullary, nephrographic and excretory phase.

What is being measured

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

  1. accuracy for detecting urothelial cell carcinomas

    the accuracy of the experimental arm will not be worse than the accuracy of the control CT by a margin of more than 7.5%

    Measured: all examinations are evaluated immediately after the CT examination. Follow-up ascertainment of UCC diagnosis after one year

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. false negative rate

    The difference in false negative rates

    Measured: all examinations are evaluated immediately after the CT examination

  2. false positive rate

    The difference in false positive rates

    Measured: all examinations are evaluated immediately after the CT examination

  3. renal cell carcinoma detection rates

    The detection rates in the two arms

    Measured: all examinations are evaluated immediately after the CT examination. Follow-up ascertainment of RCC diagnosis after one year

  4. Area under the curve (AUC)

    the difference in AUC of the two arms

    Measured: all examinations are evaluated immediately after the CT examination

  5. predictive values

    The difference in the predictive values of the two arms

    Measured: all examinations are evaluated immediately after the CT examination

  6. Detection or urinary calculi

    The difference in detection of the two arms

    Measured: all examinations are evaluated immediately after the CT examination

  7. Detection of Bosniak cyst

    The difference in detection in the two arms

    Measured: all examinations are evaluated immediately after the CT examination

  8. Interobserver variability

    The agreement and variability between primary and secondary readers

    Measured: all examinations are evaluated immediately after the CT examination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CT in people with Urothelial Carcinoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 12 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 6 Sep 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 Norway. 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?

accuracy for detecting urothelial cell carcinomas (time frame: all examinations are evaluated immediately after the CT examination. Follow-up ascertainment of UCC diagnosis after one year). 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 6 Sep 2022.
