About this trial

This is a prospective, multicenter observational study designed to collect urine and tumor biospecimens and associated clinical data from patients undergoing evaluation, treatment, or surveillance for urothelial carcinoma.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or female ≥ 18 years of age who are scheduled for transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and/or biopsy of urinary tract or

Patients on surveillance who are negative for recurrence or tumor at the time of study enrollment but have had previous urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) or

Patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) or non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) scheduled for NAC and/or subsequent radical cystectomy (RC)

Able to provide consent prior to diagnostic TURBT, nephroureterectomy, or administration of NAC and/or RC

Disqualifiers

Clinical, symptomatic urinary tract infection at time of initial urine collection

Unable to provide adequate urine sample

Trial population

Adult patients undergoing evaluation, treatment, or surveillance for urologic tract cancers, including bladder cancer, upper tract urothelial cell carcinoma, or urethral urothelial cell carcinoma, as well as individuals undergoing evaluation for hematuria. Participants are identified and enrolled at participating clinical sites.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Recurrence Free Survival (RFS)

RFS is defined as the time from the urine specimen collection to the first histopathologically confirmed recurrence of urothelial carcinoma

Time frame
From enrollment through completion of available clinical follow-up, up to 5 years.
2

Diagnostic Detection Performance in Hematuria Triage

Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the investigational urine assay for the detection of urothelial cancer among subjects undergoing evaluation for hematuria, comparing subjects with histopathologically confirmed cancer to subjects without evidence of cancer at the time of diagnostic workup.

Time frame
From enrollment through completion of diagnostic evaluation, up to 5 years.

Secondary outcomes

1

Comparison to Alternative Urine Biomarkers

Comparison of the investigational urine biomarker to alternative urine biomarker assays, including cytology and UroVysion FISH, for the detection of urothelial cancer recurrence. Comparison will include lead time, sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value.

Time frame
From enrollment up to 5 years.
2

Lead Time for Detection of Cancer Recurrence

A subject with diagnostic lead time will be defined as a subject with a negative cystoscopy and concurrent positive investigational urine biomarker with confirmed urothelial cancer recurrence on study. Lead time will be calculated as the time from the positive urine biomarker result to the date of histopathologic confirmation.

Time frame
From enrollment up to 5 years.
