About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to further validate the sensitivity and specificity of Bladder EpiCheck in primary detection of urothelial carcinoma in participants aged 45 years or older presenting with haematuria, compared to cystoscopy and pathology, if performed.

Participants will provide a voided urine sample, and data from standard of care haematuria work-up will be collected.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participants aged 45 years or older

Participants who are willing and able to provide written informed consent and adhere to study procedures

Participants presenting with visible and/or non-visible haematuria within 6 months prior to study enrollment

Participants scheduled to undergo standard of care cystoscopy for urinary bladder examination within 60 days after study enrollment

Disqualifiers

Participants with history of urothelial cancer in the bladder and/or upper urinary tract

Participants who had prior cystoscopy for haematuria within the past 2 years

Participants previously enrolled in this study

Participants treated for prostate cancer within the last 12 months

Trial population

aged ≥ 45 years with haematuria scheduled for cystoscopy, for suspicion of urothelial carcinoma

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Bladder EpiCheck

    Diagnostic test

    The participant will provide a voided urine sample, which will be tested using the Bladder EpiCheck test. The clinical care team and the participant will not be informed of the result, and the standard of care will not change.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The sensitivity and specificity of Bladder EpiCheck to detect primary urothelial carcinoma

The sensitivity and specificity of Bladder EpiCheck to detect primary urothelial carcinoma, calculated versus the Reference Standard defined by cystoscopy, imaging, and, if indicated, pathological confirmation) in participants presenting with haematuria (visible and/or non-visible).

Time frame
urothelial carcinoma detected within 6 months of enrolment, by the standard of care haematuria work-up

Secondary outcomes

1

Non-inferiority of Bladder EpiCheck overall sensitivity vs. cytology in detection of primary urothelial carcinoma

Time frame
urothelial carcinoma detected within 6 months of enrolment, by the standard of care haematuria work-up
2

Non-inferiority of Bladder EpiCheck specificity vs. cytology in detection of primary urothelial carcinoma

Time frame
urothelial carcinoma detected within 6 months of enrolment, by the standard of care haematuria work-up
3

Further validate the sensitivity of the Bladder EpiCheck test to detect pathologically confirmed high-grade urothelial carcinoma, including HG non-muscle invasive and muscle invasive disease.

Time frame
urothelial carcinoma detected within 6 months of enrolment, by the standard of care haematuria work-up
