Urine-based Molecular Testing vs Cystoscopy for Surveillance of Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC)

Recruiting
Conditions
Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: CxBladder Monitor
Diagnostic Test: Cystoscopy
Registration Number
NCT06126796
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient-reported preference for urine based molecular testing (CxBladder Monitor) compared to cystoscopy for patients on surveillance for Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC). Urine based molecular testing involves noninvasive testing of a urine sample for biomarkers associated with disease recurrence. Cystoscopy is an examination of the bladder and urethra using a thin tube like instrument that is inserted into the urethra.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Preference for CxBladder Monitor compared to cystoscopyUp to 6 months

Patient preference will be assessed based on the Preference Questionnaire (PQ) after completion of the study cross-over period (after both methods of testing have been experienced).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient satisfactionUp to 6 months

Patient satisfaction will be assessed based on the Satisfaction Questionnaire (SQ) after completion of each test at 3 and 6 months.

Change in symptoms and function - EORTC NMIBC-24Up to 6 months

The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (EORTC NMIBC-24) will be used to assess Health-related quality of life. The questionnaire consists of 24 items scored on a four-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much), with the exception of the global health status items, which employ a seven-point scale ranging from 1 (very poor) to 7 (excellent). Higher scores are interpreted as more symptom burden, with exception of the sexual function and sexual enjoyment sections, where higher scores represent better functioning.

Error rate identifying recurrent nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC)Up to 6 months

Error rate for CxBladder is defined as the proportion of patients who have a negative CxBladder at 3 months but have a recurrence identified on cystoscopy at 6 months for patients in arm A. The error rate for cystoscopy is defined as the proportion of patients who have a negative cystoscopy at 3 months but have a positive CxBladder at 6 months that is subsequently confirmed by cystoscopy for patients in arm B.

Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory- Short Form (FCRI-SF)Up to 6 months

Health-related quality of life will be assessed based on the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory- Short Form (FCRI-SF) at baseline, 3 months (within 1 week of test), and 6 months (within 1 week of test). The nine-item FCRI evaluates the presence and severity of intrusive thoughts associated with FCR. Each item is rated on a Likert scale ranging from 0 ("not at all" or "never") to 4 ("a great deal' or "all the time"). A higher score indicates higher levels of FCR.

Financial costsUp to 6 months

Assessed by patient responses to questions about missed work and time missed from usual activities.
