简要总结
This randomized pilot trial studies how well robot-assisted laparoscopic high-intensity focused ultrasound works compared to robot-assisted radical cystectomy for thermal ablation of muscle invasive cells in patients with bladder tumors. Laparoscopic high-intensity focused ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to deliver a strong beam to a specific part of the tumor and may lower the number of tumor cells released into the blood stream compared to radical cystectomy.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To obtain preliminary estimates of the efficacy of laparoscopic high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for the treatment of localized primary bladder cancer.
II. To estimate the change in the number of expelled circulating tumor cells (CTCs), when comparing HIFU to robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) alone.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety and toxicity of using laparoscopic HIFU.

结局指标
主要结局
Complete ablation of the targeted lesion in the bladder wall assessed by histopathologic examination and Live/Dead Viability/Cytotoxicity Assay Kit of the resected specimen (Arm A)
时间窗: At the day of surgery
A Clopper-Pearson (exact) 90% confidence interval will be constructed for the probability of a successful HIFU procedure.
CTC enumeration assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction
时间窗: Up to 7 days post-surgery
The mean number of CTCs in each patient, as well as the difference between the two arms (possibly after log or square root transformation) will be estimated. Importantly the numbers of CTCs captured in the femoral lines will be compared to the numbers captured in the peripheral lines. Means and 90% confidence intervals will be calculated. Changes in CTC enumeration in a group that undergoes HIFU (Arm A) to a group that does not undergo HIFU (Arm B) will be observed.
次要结局
