Assessment of BladderLight SurvEILlance

Phase 2
Conditions
Bladder Cancer
Interventions
Device: BladderLight®
Registration Number
NCT03427034
Lead Sponsor
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Brief Summary

Is BladderLight® (BL) urine testing accurate, as a non-invasive method, to exclude presence of bladder cancer in patients.

Detailed Description

There are three arms to the proposed performance evaluation of the integrated test - arms 1 and 2 are cross-sectional studies examining the accuracy of the BladderLight® test in the detection of cancer of the urinary bladder in patients attending either Gross Haematuria clinic for a potential primary (first time) diagnosis (arm 1) or patients attending Cystsoscopic Surveillance clinic as follow up to a previous, treated case of bladder cancer (arm 2). Arm 3 is a longitudinal examination of disease state following a negative cystoscopy with a positive BladderLight® test - this will examine whether BladderLight® can predict progression to overt disease. Arm three will not involve any further requirement for physical sampling, but will involve result checking on subsequent cystoscopies
