Trial summary

Bladder cancer (urothelial carcinoma) is a disease where cells in the bladder grow out of control. The bladder is an organ in the lower part of the body that stores urine. When someone has bladder cancer, abnormal cells form in the bladder and can spread to other parts of the body if not treated. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: CHARACTERISTICS AND OUTCOMES AMONG PATIENTS WITH DIFFERENT PREDOMINANT VARIANT HISTOLOGY TYPES OF LOCALLY ADVANCED OR METASTATIC BLADDER CARCINOMA (LA/MBC): A FLATIRON HEALTH REAL-WORLD STUDY

Bladder cancer (urothelial carcinoma) is a disease where cells in the bladder grow out of control. The bladder is an organ in the lower part of the body that stores urine. When someone has bladder cancer, abnormal cells form in the bladder and can spread to other parts of the body if not treated. Bladder cancer that has spread outside the bladder is called advanced or metastatic bladder cancer.

When cancer develops, a pathologist examines a sample of the tumour under a microscope to see which cells the cancer started from. This is called the cancer's histology. Most bladder cancers begin in the cells that line the inside of the bladder and are called urothelial cancers. Less commonly, bladder cancer can develop from other cell types.

The purpose of this study is to examine the types of histology that adults with advanced or metastatic bladder cancer have. The researchers will also describe the demographics (information such as age, sex and race) clinical characteristics and outcomes of those patients.

This is a real-world study, not a clinical study. This means that researchers will look at what happens when patients receive the treatments prescribed by their own doctor as part of their usual healthcare treatment. In this study, researchers will use information from cancer clinics (Flatiron Health electronic health records). to assess information for each participant for at least 6 months. The study will include patients' information from the database who:

  • Were identified to have advanced or metastatic bladder cancer.
  • Started their first treatment after 01 Apr 2023.
  • Were 18 years of age or older when they were diagnosed with advanced disease.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
la/mBCPatients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Bladder Carcinoma (la/mBC) who received first line treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Distribution of First-Line Treatment Regimens by Predominant Histology

    Number and percentage of participants receiving each type of first-line treatment, evaluated overall and stratified by predominant histology category.

    Measured: Up to 2 Years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Real world Progression Free Survival (rwPFS)

    Time from initiation of first line treatment for la/mBC to the earliest of disease progression or death, based on real-world data sources.

    Measured: Up to 2 Years

  2. Real world Overall Tumor Response (rwOTR)

    Proportion of patients achieving tumor response (e.g., complete or partial response) based on real-world oncology data.

    Measured: Up to 2 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma and Urothelial Cancer, run by Pfizer.

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 2 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Pfizer CT.gov Call Center (1-800-718-1021, ClinicalTrials.gov_Inquiries@pfizer.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Distribution of First-Line Treatment Regimens by Predominant Histology (time frame: Up to 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 27 Oct 2026.
