About this study

Clinical trial to evaluate the performance characteristics(sensitivity and specificity) of AnchorDx's urine DNA methylation/somatic mutation profiling assay for detecting urothelial carcinoma compared to pathology in patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective study that involves 11 centers in China and 1200 participants. The assay analyzes the DNA methylation/somatic mutation profiles of bladder cancer-specific biomarkers non-invasively using urine specimens collected before invasive diagnosis/treatment. The performance characteristics(sensitivity and specificity) of the assay for detection of urothelial carcinoma is evaluated in comparison to pathology or cystoscopy.

Being tested
Active Comparator: Pathology, Active Comparator: Clinical Diagnosis, Genetic test: AnchorDx's urine DNA methylation/somatic mutation profiling assay
Keywords
Bladder Cancer, Urine, DNA methylation, Somatic mutation
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Transitional Cell, Urinary Bladder Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • Active Comparator: PathologyOther

    Routine treatment for bladder cancer, and surgical pathology for confirmation of patients with urothelial carcinoma.

  • Active Comparator: Clinical DiagnosisOther

    Routine clinical diagnosis and treatment of benign disease of the urinary system

  • Active Comparator: Clinical diagnosisOther

    Routine urine test and imaging diagnostic techniques, such as B-ultrasound.

  • Genetic test: AnchorDx's urine DNA methylation/somatic mutation profiling assayOther

    A urine-based assay for the detection of urothelial carcinoma using urine DNA methylation/somatic mutation profiling analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic Performance for the detection of urothelial carcinoma

    The efficacy of the urine DNA methylation/somatic mutation profiling assay for the detection of urothelial carcinoma comparing with pathologic diagnosis, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), positive likelihood ratio (+LR), negative likelihood ratio (-LR) and accuracy.

    Measured: 1 Years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Sensitivity and Specificity in different pathological stages and histologic grades of urothelial carcinoma

    Sensitivity and specificity of urine DNA methylation/somatic mutation profiling assay in different pathological stages and histologic grades of urothelial carcinoma.

    Measured: 1 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urothelial Carcinoma and Bladder Cancer, run by AnchorDx Medical Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 15 inclusion and 8 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 24 May 2023. 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 China. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic Performance for the detection of urothelial carcinoma (time frame: 1 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 24 May 2023.
