简要总结

The goal of this clinical study is to learn how well a urine test called Xpert® Bladder Cancer Detect (Xpert BC-D) can help doctors assess the risk of bladder cancer in people with non-visible blood in their urine (microscopic hematuria). The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Can the Xpert BC-D test accurately identify people at higher risk for bladder cancer?
  • Can combining the test results with other clinical information improve risk assessment compared to standard evaluation methods?

Participants will:

  • Have leftover urine from the routine initial evaluation tested with the Xpert® Bladder Cancer Detect assay
  • Complete questionnaires about urinary symptoms using the modified IPSS and ICIQ-FLUT-S forms
  • Attend a first visit for medical evaluation and cystoscopy
  • Attend a follow-up visit 3 to 6 months later for additional testing and questionnaires

This study includes adults over 40 years of age who have had microscopic hematuria detected within the past six months. People with a history of bladder cancer, urinary tract surgery, or certain other medical conditions, as well as individuals who are currently pregnant, cannot participate.

The study will be conducted at 20-24 sites in Germany and Austria and will last approximately 27 months, with each participant involved for about 6 months. The results of this study may help doctors better decide which patients need further invasive testing, potentially reducing unnecessary procedures.

次要结局

  • Effective detection of high impact tumors (HITs, defined as Ta G3/HG, CIS, and ≥T1 urothelial cancer)(From enrollment until completion of follow-up at 6 months)
  • Validating results from a recent meta-analysis demonstrating improved risk stratification by combining the Xpert BC-D results with clinical parameters(From enrollment until completion of follow-up at 6 months)
  • Simulating application of current major guideline recommendations, a significantly better discrimination between patients at low/high risk for subsequent UCa diagnosis for: The Xpert BC-D results and combinations from Xpert BC-D results and clinical(From enrollment until completion of follow-up at 6 months)
  • Cost-benefit considerations (based on structured information e.g. from GOÄ and EBM)(From enrollment until completion of follow-up at 6 months)
