About this trial

Up to 30% of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) lesions may be missed by standard white-light cystoscopy, resulting in high tumor recurrence rate. This is a single-center, single-arm, phase 2 prospective study. We apply Trop2-targeted NIR-II fluorescent probe TTP-ICG with rapid incubation to ex vivo bladder specimens from patients undergoing radical cystectomy. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging is performed after short-time incubation and washing. Using histopathology as gold standard, we evaluate the sensitivity, specificity of this imaging system for identifying bladder cancer lesions, and analyze correlation between fluorescence intensity and pathological diagnosis. 30 subjects will be enrolled.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Suspected or confirmed bladder tumor patients who are scheduled to undergo radical cystectomy.

Able to provide written informed consent and comply with study protocol.

Disqualifiers

Suffering from other invasive malignant tumors.

With severe comorbidities including congenital malformation, acute active inflammation, cachexia, myocardial infarction or stroke within past 6 months, severe hepatic or renal insufficiency.

Pregnant or lactating female subjects.

Participated in another clinical trial within past 30 days.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • TTP-ICG fluorescent probe

    Drug

    After radical cystectomy, 50 mL TTP-ICG solution (20 μg/mL) is instilled into lumen of isolated bladder specimen for 3 minutes incubation. Then probe solution is drained; bladder lumen washed 3 times by normal saline(30 seconds per time). Near-infrared-II fluorescence imaging is performed on inner bladder surface. Fluorescent highlighted lesions are harvested for pathological examination.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Diagnostic Sensitivity of ex-vivo Trop2-targeted NIR-II fluorescence imaging for detecting malignant bladder lesions

Sensitivity of TTP-ICG rapid-incubation NIR-II fluorescence imaging to identify malignant bladder lesions in ex-vivo radical-cystectomy specimens. Histopathology serves as gold-standard reference. Sensitivity = true-positive / (true-positive + false-negative).

Time frame
Within 7 days after collection of ex-vivo bladder specimen, after histopathology report available
2

Diagnostic Specificity of ex-vivo Trop2-targeted NIR-II fluorescence imaging for detecting malignant bladder lesions

Specificity of TTP-ICG rapid-incubation NIR-II fluorescence imaging to identify malignant bladder lesions in ex-vivo radical-cystectomy specimens. Histopathology serves as gold-standard reference. Specificity = true-negative / (true-negative + false-positive)

Time frame
Within 7 days after collection of ex-vivo bladder specimen, after histopathology report available
3

False-Positive Rate of ex-vivo Trop2-targeted NIR-II fluorescence imaging for detecting malignant bladder lesions

False-positive rate of TTP-ICG rapid-incubation NIR-II fluorescence imaging for bladder-cancer lesion detection on ex-vivo specimens, using histopathology as gold standard. False-positive rate = false-positive / (true-negative + false-positive)

Time frame
Within 7 days after collection of ex-vivo bladder specimen, after histopathology report available
4

False-Negative Rate of ex-vivo Trop2-targeted NIR-II fluorescence imaging for detecting malignant bladder lesions

False-negative rate of TTP-ICG rapid-incubation NIR-II fluorescence imaging for bladder-cancer lesion detection on ex-vivo specimens, using histopathology as gold standard. False-negative rate = false-negative / (true-positive + false-negative)

Time frame
Within 7 days after collection of ex-vivo bladder specimen, after histopathology report available

Secondary outcomes
