Evaluating the Impact of 18F-FDG-PET-CT on Risk Stratification and Treatment Adaptation for Patients with Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Muscle-Invasive Bladder Carcinoma
Interventions
Radiation: Metastasis directed therapy (MDT)
Drug: Immunotherapy
Procedure: Standard of care
Registration Number
NCT04724928
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Ghent
Brief Summary

Evaluate the impact of 18F-FDG-PET-CT on the staging of patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Based on the results of 2 18F-FDG-PET-CT's patients are stratified in non-metastatic, oligometastatic and polymetastatic bladder cancer patients and the treatment is adapted accordingly to improve overall survival.

Oligo-metastatic MIBC on 18F-FDG-PET-CTMetastasis directed therapy (MDT)No signs of extra-pelvic metastasis on conventional imaging (abdominopelvic and thoracic CT/MRI) but presence of ≤ 3 metastasis on 1 or both 18F FDG PET-CT 's
Poly-metastatic MIBC on 18F-FDG-PET-CTImmunotherapyNo signs of extra-pelvic metastasis on conventional imaging (abdominopelvic and thoracic CT/MRI) but presence of \> 3 metastasis on 1 or both 18F FDG PET-CT 's
Non-metastatic MIBCStandard of careNo signs of extra-pelvic metastasis on conventional imaging (abdominopelvic and thoracic CT/MRI) and 18F-FDG-PET-CT's
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall survival2 years

Defined as the time from diagnosis of MIBC to death from any cause

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient reported quality of life as per EORTC-QLQ C305 years

Validated questionnaire assessing different health-related parameters (psychological, physical and social well-being) in cancer patients

Distant metastasis-free survival5 years

Defined as time of diagnosis until occurrence of distant metastasis on repeated imaging.

Disease specific survival5 years

Defined as time of diagnosis until death due to MIBC.

Validation of predictive biomarkers5 years

A biopsy specimen of the bladder, obtained after transurethral resection of the bladder (TURb),as well as urine and blood samples will be collected for validation of predictive biomarkers by evaluating the correlation between response to therapy and outcome (PFS, DMFS, DSS and OS) with in literature reported biomarkers determined on biopsy specimen of the bladder, obtained after TURb.

Patient reported quality of life as per EORTC-QLQ BLM305 years

Validated questionnaire assessing the health-related QOL of muscle invasive bladder cancer patients

The number of patients with late toxicity5 years

Assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0

Progression-free survival5 years

Defined as appearance of local/locoregional recurrence diagnosed at CT-scan or cystoscopy in case of TMT or appearance of metastasis diagnosed at MIBC or non-MIBC-related imaging.

The number of patients with acute toxicity3 months

Assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0

Sensitivity/specificity of 18F-FDG-PET-CT for the detection of extra-pelvic metastases3 months
