- Suspicious or confirmed patients with bladder cancer.
- Age 18 or older.
Who cannot join
- Gross haematuria. (Note: Gross haematuria is defined as a heavy bladder bleed resulting in marked amounts of blood in the urine, which may visually limit cystoscopy. Where the haematuria is light, the patient should not be excluded, if in the investigator's opinion, rinsing and/or electro-cautery during cystoscopy will alleviate the possible interference with cystoscopy).

About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Comparative Within Patient Controlled, Multi-center Study of Hexvix Blue Light Cystoscopy and White Light Cystoscopy in the Detection of Bladder Cancer
A study to compare Hexvix Blue light cstoscopy with standard White light cystoscopy in the detection of bladder cancer.
Read the detailed description
A phase III, prospective, within patient controlled, multi-center study to compare Blue light cystoscopy with Hexvix and standard White light cystoscopy in the detection of bladder cancer, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Hexvix Blue light cystoscopy in Chinese population.
Patients with suspicious or confirmed bladder cancer will participate in the trial and undergo Blue light cystoscopy with Hexvix in addition to the standard White light cystoscopy. Specific clinical questions will be asked:
- What is the proportion of patients who have at least one specific kind of tumor found by Blue light cystoscopy with Hexvix but not by White light cystoscopy?
- What is the proportion of patients who have at least one specific kind of lesion found by Blue light cystoscopy with Hexvix but not by White light cystoscopy?
- What is the proportion of false positive lesions detected with Hexvix Blue light cystoscopy and White light cystoscopy?
- What is the proportion of patients with Adverse Events (AE) during the study?
- Conditions
- Bladder Cancer
- Being tested
- Hexaminolevulinate Hydrochloride, Richard Wolf Photodynamic Diagnostic Equipment (PDD) system
- Medical subject headings
- Urinary Bladder Neoplasms
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Hexaminolevulinate HydrochlorideDrug
Also called Hexvix
Enrolled patients will be instilled with 50 mL hexaminolevulinate hydrochloride as intravesical solution (Hexvix) in the bladder for one hour at Visit 2. After bladder evacuation, the cystoscopic examinations will be performed in both white and blue light.
Richard Wolf Photodynamic Diagnostic Equipment (PDD) systemDevice
Also called System Blue
Cystoscopy in White and Blue light will be done using the Richard Wolf PDD system.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Hexvix Blue light cystoscopy | Experimental | In this study, enrolled patients will undergo standard White light cystoscopy and Blue light cystoscopy following Hexvix administration. Lesions detected during the cystoscopies will be resected or biopsied. Receives: Drug: Hexaminolevulinate Hydrochloride; Device: Richard Wolf Photodynamic Diagnostic Equipment (PDD) system |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Patients with suspicious or confirmed bladder cancer will be enrolled and there will be a maximum of three regular study visits for each patient. Visit 1 is a screening visit, Visit 2 is the cystoscopic examinations and Visit 3 is the safety follow-up. At Visit 2, enrolled patients will be instilled with 50 mL Hexvix solution in the bladder for one hour. After bladder evacuation, the inspection of the bladder and mapping of lesions seen under White light will be done. Secondly, inspection of the bladder and mapping of lesions seen under Blue light will be done. The Richard Wold PDD system (System Blue) will be used. Lesions detected will be resected or biopsied and sent to the local and central pathologists for analysis.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Hexaminolevulinate Hydrochloride and Richard Wolf Photodynamic Diagnostic Equipment (PDD) system in people with Bladder Cancer, run by Photocure at 7 sites in China.
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 9 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 3 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in China. 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.
What does this phase mean?
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Oct 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Number of Patients With Histology-confirmed Lesions (Ta, T1, or CIS) Who Have at Least One Such Lesion Found by Hexvix Blue Light Cystoscopy But Not by White Light Cystoscopy. (time frame: 1 day (At time of cystoscopy examination)). 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 3 Oct 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
