About this study

Official title: Detection of Bladder Cancer by Microsatellite Analysis (MSA) of Urinary Sediment: Multi-Institutional Study

RATIONALE: New diagnostic procedures such as microsatellite analysis of sediment in the urine may improve the ability to detect bladder cancer without invasive procedures.

PURPOSE: Diagnostic trial to study the effectiveness of microsatellite analysis of sediment in the urine in detecting bladder cancer in healthy participants, participants who have genitourinary conditions requiring cystoscopy, and patients who have bladder cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the sensitivity and specificity of microsatellite analysis (MSA) of urine sediment with cystoscopy and urine cytology for detecting bladder cancer in participants undergoing cystoscopy.

Secondary

  • Determine the temporal performance characteristics of MSA in urine sediment from these participants.
  • Determine which of the 15 individual markers or combination of markers that make up the MSA test are most predictive of the presence of bladder cancer in these participants.

OUTLINE: This is a single-blind, multicenter, cohort study.

Urine and blood specimens are collected from all participants at baseline. Urine specimens are examined using microsatellite analysis, urine cytology, and urinalysis. Patients in groups 2 and 3 also undergo cystoscopy at baseline.

Patients in group 3 undergo cystoscopy, upper tract imaging (e.g., abdominal CT scan), microsatellite analysis, urine cytology, and urinalysis every 3 months for 2 years in the absence of progressive disease.

Microsatellite analysis, which identifies loss of heterozygosity using polymerase chain reaction technique, is conducted for 15 markers: D4S243, D21S1245, FGA, D17S695, D16S476, D9S171, IFN-A, D20S48, D13S802, D17S654, D16S310, THO1, D9S162, D9S747, and MBP.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 500 participants (100 each for groups 1 and 2 and 300 for group 3) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bladder Cancer, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins at 13 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 8 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States, Canada. 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.

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 8 Feb 2019.
