About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Survivin Urine mRNA Assay to Estimate Risk of Bladder Cancer Found on Cystoscopy

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the ability of urinary Survivin mRNA measurement to estimate the risk of bladder cancer at the time of cystoscopy in subjects with no prior history of bladder cancer presenting with microscopic or macroscopic hematuria.

Read the detailed description

Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men and ninth most common cancer in women, accounting for more than 60,000 new cases and ~12,000 deaths in North America in 2004. Cystoscopy and urinary cytology is the standard of care for detection of bladder cancer, but cystoscopy is expensive and invasive, while cytology has low sensitivity. New, noninvasive, diagnostic tools for bladder cancer detection have been developed, but their application in clinical practice has been limited due to low sensitivity and specificity of the assays. Survivin, an anti-apoptotic protein, is capable of regulating both cell proliferation and apoptotic cell death, and is over-expressed in most human cancers but not in normal adult tissues. The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the ability of urinary Survivin mRNA measurement to estimate the risk of bladder cancer at the time of cystoscopy in subjects with no prior history of bladder cancer presenting with microscopic or macroscopic hematuria.

This study is designed to be a prospective, multicenter, double blind, clinical study in subjects >50 years old with no prior history of bladder cancer and confirmed hematuria (microscopic and/or macroscopic) presenting to a urologist.

The primary objective of the study is to estimate the risk of bladder cancer at the time of cystoscopy in subjects >50 years old with no prior history of bladder cancer and confirmed hematuria using urinary Survivin mRNA levels.

The secondary objective of the study is for comparison of a multivariate predictive algorithm using urinary Survivin mRNA levels and subject risk factors, such as age, sex, race, and smoking history, for estimation of the risk of bladder cancer at the time of cystoscopy in subjects >50 years old with no prior history of bladder cancer and confirmed hematuria to the use of urinary Survivin mRNA levels alone.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bladder Cancer, run by Fujirebio Diagnostics, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 14 Mar 2008. 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 United States. 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 14 Mar 2008.
