About this study

Official title: Retrospective Study Protocol on Bladder Cancer With Bladder Preservation Intent

Bladder cancer is a malignant disease that affects a large number of people worldwide. An increase in the incidence of this type of cancer has been observed in recent decades, leading to a growing interest in understanding its risk factors, clinical evolution, and possible treatment approaches. This retrospective study aims to retrospectively analyze a cohort of patients diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, in whom, after presentation at multidisciplinary oncology committees, the goal of curing the oncological disease while preserving the bladder is considered.

Trimodal therapy (TMT) is the most studied bladder preservation strategy, with oncological outcomes superior to those of isolated therapies (or monotherapies) such as transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT), radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. TMT consists of complete and maximal TURBT of the bladder tumor, followed by definitive radiotherapy combined with a radiosensitizing agent.

Objectives The main objective is to retrospectively analyze the effectiveness and safety of the trimodal approach in our setting. Collecting and analyzing data from patients treated in our service will provide valuable insight into clinical outcomes and treatment tolerability in this context.

Materials and Methods

  • Study Design A retrospective study will be conducted using data from medical records of patients diagnosed with bladder cancer from 2014 to 2022 and treated with radiotherapy in our Radiation Oncology Service. Demographic data, medical history, risk factors, clinical characteristics, treatments received, and clinical outcomes will be collected.
  • Study Population The study population will include all patients with confirmed diagnoses of non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Read the detailed description
  • Inclusion Criteria Adult patients (over 18 years old) with histologically confirmed diagnosis of bladder cancer.

Criteria for selecting optimal candidates for trimodal therapy-assessment in Uro-Oncology committees.

-Functional and compatible bladder at the start of the study.

Criteria related to the tumor:

  • cT2
  • Unifocal tumor with a maximum diameter < 7 cm.
  • Single tumor.
  • Absence of extensive associated carcinoma in situ (CIS).
  • Absence of bilateral hydronephrosis.
  • Absence of lymphovascular invasion.
  • Attempt at macroscopically complete TURBT of the bladder (incomplete does not exclude bladder preservation).

Availability of complete medical records, including demographic data, medical history, imaging study results, treatment details, and follow-up.

  • Data Collection Data will be retrospectively collected from patients' electronic medical records. Standardized forms will be used to record relevant data, including demographic information, medical history, imaging study results, treatment details, and follow-up.
  • Statistical Analysis Descriptive analysis of the data will be performed to summarize the characteristics of the study population and clinical outcomes. Appropriate statistical tests will be used to compare patient subgroups and assess the association between variables of interest and clinical outcomes.
  • Ethical Considerations This study will be conducted following the ethical principles established in the Helsinki Declaration. Approval will be obtained from our hospital's Ethics Committee.
  • Study Limitations Potential limitations of this study may include inherent bias in retrospective studies, incomplete data in some medical records, and variability in treatments administered over time.

What participants receive

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

  • radioteraphy and chemotherapy after RTU --trimodality therapy--Radiation

    TMT ( trimodality treatment) consists of complete and maximal TURBT of the bladder tumor, followed by definitive radiotherapy combined with a radiosensitizing agent.

What is being measured

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

  1. Local Control

    Local Control assessed by RECIST criteria with TC, MRI or PET-scan

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival

    Defined as the time from diagnose to the date of death from any cause.

    Measured: Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Participants should be followed continuously during 5-10 years Defined as the time from diagnose to the date of death from any cause.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bladder Cancer and Urinary Bladder Neoplasms, run by Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa at 1 site in Spain.

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 12 inclusion and 1 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 19 Sep 2024. 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 Spain. 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?

Local Control (time frame: 5-10 years). 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 19 Sep 2024.
