  • Ages Any age
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Pathological or histological diagnosis of primary non-muscle invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma (TaTisT1);
  • Imaging examinations showed the bladder muscle has not been affected, no lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis;
  • Patients who agree to TURBT surgery, and will be effected to the postoperative follow-up treatment such as conventional infusion after the operation;
  • Function of main organs (heart, liver, lung, kidney) should be normal, PS score 0-2;
  • Bladder capacity≥ 200ml.

Who cannot join

  • Find distant metastasis ,infiltration of the surrounding organs or relapse before operation.Metastatic bladder cancer or other cancers involve the bladder;
  • Received chemotherapy or BCG perfusion therapy in the nearly 3 months;
  • Patients who can not tolerate the serious side effects during the bladder perfusion treatment process (bladder irritation and other symptoms);
  • Patients during pregnancy ,critical care patients and patients who have other cases of surgical contraindications.Such as serious cardiovascular disease,coagulation abnormalities,non-transitional epithelial tumors( such as adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma),acute cystitis,can not be supine because of spinal deformity,untreated urethral stricture.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Thulium Laser en Bloc Resection of bladder tumor and Electrical transurethral resection of bladder tumor in people with Bladder Cancer, run by Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Haitao Liu, chief physician (+86 15301655608, doctorlht69@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The residual rate of tumor in the second operation of the two surgical methods (time frame: 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 1 Nov 2016.
