About this study

Urinary bladder cancer is a common malignant tumor of the urinary tract in both men and women. Proper management of the urinary bladder cancer depends on the stage of the lesions.

Differentiating the histopathological types, tumor grade and the depth of tumor invasion are very important for determining the therapeutic approach and are highly correlated with the recurrence, progression and patient's survival.

Radical cystectomy (RC) and lymphadenectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the standard treatment for muscle invasive tumors, whereas the treatment of choice for non-muscle invasive tumors is transurethral resection (TUR) ±chemo/immunotherapy.

Cystoscopy with biopsy is still the best tool for bladder cancer staging due to its high sensitivity in detecting lesions and the possibilities of tumor resections, but the main drawbacks are invasiveness, limitation in detection of flat lesions, and lack of the assessment of extra-vesical tumor invasion. Modern diagnostic modalities circumvent these limitations like blue-light cystoscopic examination and infrared cystoscopy.

For the radiological evaluation of the urinary bladder, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable imaging modality due to high tissue contrast and multiplanar imaging capabilities.

Diffusion-weighted images provides useful information for evaluation of local T stage of the urinary bladder cancer, specially in differentiating T1 stage or lower tumors from T2 stage and higher tumor stages.

Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) delineating the degree of water molecular diffusion and the degree of restriction to water diffusion in biological tissues is inversely correlated to the integrity of the cell membranes and the tissue cellularity.

The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value has been revealed as quantitative measure of the degree of malignancy of the lesions. Decreased ADC values were reported with malignant lesions which have a larger cell diameter and more cellularity than normal tissue.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urinary Bladder Neoplasm, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 27 Oct 2021. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Walaa R Abdellah, assistant lecture (01099870794, walaa.mahmoud@med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnosis of urinary bladder masses (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05097105, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 27 Oct 2021.
