Description:
Prospective registry of patients with primary diagnosis of T1 urinary bladder cancer
Summary:
Synopsis Rationale Patients with T1 urinary bladder cancer (UBC) are at high risk for
recurrence and progression. However, the prognosis is dependent on several concomitant
factors. First and foremost, an accurate diagnosis is imperative for an appropriate
disease management. Due to conventional transurethral resection technique, resulting in
fragmentation and cauterization of the tissue, the pathological review is often difficult
and may result in under or over-staging. A central pathology review of EORTC trial data
found only a 43% concordance for T1 tumours compared with staging by a local pathologist.
Moreover, risk factors such as concomitant carcinoma in situ (CIS), variant histology
(VH) and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) have been associated with even poorer prognosis in
patients with T1 UBC. However, there is consistent heterogeneity in reporting these
features across studies.
There is an unmet need for a clean prospective dataset on T1 UBC to allow an accurate
risk stratification in order to aid clinical decision making.
Study endpoints The primary objective of the study is to prospectively collect data on
patients with primary diagnosis of T1 NMIBC in order
- to investigate the therapy failure rates in patients with primary diagnosis of T1
bladder cancer
- to investigate the association of clinico-pathologic features such as LVI, VH and
CIS, tumor size and number of tumors with pathologic outcomes.
- to analyze the accuracy of the local pathologist assessment on the evaluation of
pathology features such as tumor stage and grade, substaging according to the
microscopic and extensive invasion, LVI, VH and CIS.
- to investigate the inter-observer variability among different local pathologist
comparing these observations with a central pathology revision performed by expert
genitourinary pathologist.
- to develop a clinically applicable risk stratification tool which may guide
physicians during patient counselling and decision-making regrading adjuvant
therapies or early cystectomy
Methods Patients with primary diagnosis of UBC and scheduled for transurethral resection
of bladder at international urology departments will be prospectively recruited. Patients
with confirmed diagnosis of T1 UBC will be included in the study All selected patients
will be asked to sign a written informed consent and any locally required privacy act
document authorization prior to TURB. Furthermore, all patients will be required to
provide consent for central pathology revision.
Patients will receive adjuvant treatments (i.e. intravesical therapy or early cystectomy)
according to guidelines and clinical standards. All data regarding these treatments will
be prospectively collected during the study period or patient death.
The clinical data of patients included in the study will be prospectively collected at
each center and saved within an electronic case report form (eCRF) using the Castor
platform (Castor www.castoredc.com). After combining the data sets from the different
centers, reports will be generated for each variable identifying missing or inconsistent
data. Incongruities will be solved before freezing the final database. Protected health
information (PHI) will be unavailable to investigators at other sites. Follow-up chart
abstractions will occur at 6-month intervals until the patient is deceased, lost to
follow-up, or the study is terminated.
Pathologic specimens will be scanned and uploaded to the eCRF to allow a central
pathologic revision.
Rationale for patient number Recurrence rates for T1 bladder cancer are estimated to be
up to 50% [4]. We plan to include 700 patients in the study. This would allow to detect a
50% failure rate with 4% on either side of the 95% Confidence Interval (proportion 0,50
with 95%CI 0.46-0.54).
Future prospects, dissemination and impact A manuscript will be written and submitted for
publication on a scientific journal. Any formal presentation or publication of data
collected from this trial will be considered as a joint publication by the investigators.
Studies originating from this registry could potentially change the risk stratification
and, therefore, the management of patients with T1 UBC.
