Description:
Cxbladder Detect+ is a lab developed, test that is using RNA and DNA biomarkers in the
urine to assess the likelihood of the presence of urothelial carcinoma in the bladder.
Arm group label:
Test Arm
Summary:
This study includes adult patients who see a urologist because of blood in their urine.
The amount is so small it can only be seen with a microscope. This is called
microhematuria. There can be many reasons for microhematuria. One of them is bladder
cancer. While bladder cancer is one of the biggest worries, it is only found in few of
these patients.
Most microhematuria patients will have a cystoscopy to look inside the bladder. During a
cystoscopy, a small camera is inserted into the bladder. This is done through the
urethra, the tube that passes urine from the bladder to the outside. In some patients it
can cause pain or anxiety. Not all patients have a cystoscopy. Those that don't, usually
return for a urine sample within 6 months. This is done to check if there is still blood
in their urine.
This study is conducted to find out if the use of "Cxbladder Detect+" changes the number
of cystoscopies in microhematuria patients. Cxbladder Detect+ is also called "Detect+".
It is a lab test that was developed to check how likely urothelial carcinoma is present
in the bladder. Urothelial carcinoma is by far the most common type of bladder cancer.
For the test, the patient voids some urine into a cup. A laboratory then checks the urine
of specific genetic material. Abnormalities can be a sign of urothelial carcinoma. The
result indicates if the urine is more like most normal urine or more like that of
urothelial carcinoma patients.
The study is done to find out how Detect+ changes the number of cystoscopies. Study
participants first void urine into a cup. The urine is used for the Detect+ test. The
patients are then assigned to one of two groups. The assignment is random. This means the
nobody can influence the assignment. The chance to be assigned to either group is the
same. In the test group, the urologist will receive the Detect+ result and discuss it
with the patient. Together they decide whether to do a cystoscopy. In the control group,
the urologist will not receive the Detect+ result. The patient will also not get the
result. The urologist and patient will follow standard of care to decide whether to do a
cystoscopy.
For test group patients, the study gives a recommendation whether to proceed with
cystoscopy. It is based on the patient's Detect+ result. The urologist and patient do not
need to follow the recommendation. If the urologist does not follow it, they will
complete a survey. the patient will be asked to complete a survey if they don't follow
the urologist's recommendation. If the patient does not follow the urologist's
recommendation. The survey has only one question. It is asking for the reasons of the
decision.
After making their decision, patients will follow the chosen pathway. Data on the
performed procedures are collected. The diagnosis will also be documented. Data will be
collected for up to about 9 months.
To see how Detect+ changes the number of cystoscopies, these will be counted in each
group and then compared.
Criteria for eligibility:
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Patient is referred for assessment of microhematuria (MH) with presentation
confirmed by urine microscopy of 3 or more red blood cells per high powered field
(RBC/HPF) (documented by the referring physician or at the investigator site) within
90 days of enrollment.
2. Physically able to provide a voided urine sample from a bladder that has not been
surgically altered.
