Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with NMIBC who have completed the initial transurethral resection and are scheduled for a second resection, as recommended by guidelines or physician's choice:
  • Incomplete initial TURBT due to various reasons (including large tumor size, high risk of intraoperative bleeding, extensive tumor range, etc.), posing a risk of residual tumor;
  • Absence of muscle layer tissue in the initial resection specimen;
  • Post-initial resection pathology indicating T1 stage;
  • Post-initial resection pathology indicating G3/high-grade tumor, excluding pure carcinoma in situ;
  • Ability to provide a 100ml routine urine sample within 1-6 weeks after the initial resection and before the second resection;
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Age ≥ 18 years;
  • Willingness to provide basic clinical information, pathology, and subsequent - recurrence monitoring results;
  • Willingness to sign the informed consent form.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with other non-urothelial malignant tumors (including prostate cancer and renal cell carcinoma);
  • Patients previously diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer;
  • Patients unable to undergo a second resection;
  • Patients with incomplete pathological information of the sample;
  • Patients with contaminated samples;
  • Patients whose urine samples fail quality control for valid reasons and cannot be resampled;
  • Any condition deemed by the investigator as potentially harming the subject or preventing the subject from meeting or fulfilling the study requirements;
  • Patients unable to provide written informed consent.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Study Comparing the Necessity of a Second Transurethral Resection in High-Risk Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Patients With Negative Results From Post-Initial Resection Urine Genome-Wide Low-Depth Sequencing

This study is a prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical trial aiming to enroll 428 patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) from the Department of Urology at Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital and its affiliated centers, who have undergone their initial transurethral resection and are scheduled for a second resection. Within 1-6 weeks after the first resection and prior to the second resection, 100ml of routine urine will be collected and sent within 24 hours to Beijing Genetron Health Clinical Laboratory Co., Ltd. for the extraction of urinary sediment DNA, which will then undergo genome-wide low-depth sequencing. Patients with positive test results will proceed with the second resection, while those with negative results will be randomly assigned in a 1:2 ratio to either the intervention group, which will not undergo a second resection, or the control group, which will undergo the second resection. All enrolled patients will be followed up for two years. The study will statistically analyze and compare the two-year recurrence-free survival rates between the two groups and evaluate the predictive capability of the test results for follow-up recurrence.

What is being measured

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

  1. 2-year RFS rate

    the proportion of participants experiencing a recurrence during follow-up within 2 years

    Measured: from initial TURBT to the first confirmed recurrence within 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. RFS

    the duration from the completion of initial TURBT until the first recurrence of cancer is detected or until the end of the follow-up period, whichever comes first.

    Measured: from initial TURBT to the first confirmed recurrence within 2 years

Model description
Participants who meet the inclusion criteria are randomized 1:2 into two parallel groups. Group A: Participants assigned to this group will not undergo reTURBT. They will receive standard follow-up care as per institutional guidelines. Group B: Participants assigned to this group will undergo reTURBT as part of their treatment protocol. Following reTURBT, they will also receive standard follow-up care. Outcome measures of recurrence rate and RFS would be compared between the two groups to determine the effectiveness and safety of the urine genetic test-guided approach compared to standard care with reTURBT.Throughout the study period, both groups are followed up simultaneously, allowing for parallel comparisons of outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Urine biomarker -Guided without reTURBT in people with Non Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer, run by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University at 1 site 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 9 inclusion and 8 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jun 2025. 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yang xiao, PhD (+8613951813528, yangxiao2915@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

2-year RFS rate (time frame: from initial TURBT to the first confirmed recurrence within 2 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 25 Jun 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
