About this study

Official title: Pilot Study: Assessing Near Infrared Fluorescence Imaging Medical Technology for the Detection of Bladder Cancer

The primary outcome of this study is to determine the minimal dwell time needed for adequate detection of hexaminolevinulate HCL avid tumors using protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) near infrared fluorescence (NIRF).

Conditions
Bladder Cancer
Being tested
Hexaminolevulinate HCL, Near Infrared Fluorescence (NIRF)
Medical subject headings
Urinary Bladder Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Hexaminolevulinate HCLDrug

    Intravesical instillation of 100 mg hexaminolevulinate HCL will be performed via foley catheter at the initiation of the procedure. Although NIRF is more sensitive than bluelight cystoscopy, the current FDA approved dose will be used. Hexaminolevulinate has a favorable safety profile at this dose.

  • Near Infrared Fluorescence (NIRF)Device

    NIRF is a highly sensitive multi-spectral imaging modality that speeds the detection of bladder cancer fluorescence after infusion of hexaminolevinulate.

Study groups in NCT03058705
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hexaminolevinulate HCL with Near Infrared Fluorescence (NIRF)ExperimentalDuring the transurethral resection of the bladder procedure, the bladder will initially be examined in a systematic meridian fashion. Suspicious tumors identified by white light only, NIRF only, and both will be identified. If intense fluorescence is observed in the initial patient(s) at 10 min, dwell duration will be reduced to 5 min for the next patient(s); if abundant fluorescence is detected there as well, dwell duration will be shortened again to 2.5 min. At least three patients will be studied at each duration to document intense fluorescence before proceeding to shorter instillation durations in subsequent patients.
Receives: Drug: Hexaminolevulinate HCL; Device: Near Infrared Fluorescence (NIRF)

What is being measured

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

  1. Minimal Dwell Time

    The minimum time needed to observe the tumors during transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hexaminolevulinate HCL and Near Infrared Fluorescence (NIRF) in people with Bladder Cancer, run by Edward Messing 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 6 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 19 Aug 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Aug 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Minimal Dwell Time (time frame: Day 1). 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 19 Aug 2019.
