Cxbladder Triage Plus
Diagnostic TestCxbladder Triage Plus is a lab developed, test that is using RNA and DNA biomarkers in the urine to assess the likelihood of the presence of urothelial carcinoma in the bladder.
NCT Number: NCT06394869
This study includes adult patients who see a urologist because of blood in their urine. The amount is so small it can only be seen with a microscope. This is called microhematuria. There can be many reasons for microhematuria. One of them is bladder cancer. While bladder cancer is one of the biggest worries, it is only found in few of these patients.
Most microhematuria patients will have a cystoscopy to look inside the bladder. During a cystoscopy, a small camera is inserted into the bladder. This is done through the urethra, the tube that passes urine from the bladder to the outside. In some patients it can cause pain or anxiety. Not all patients have a cystoscopy. Those that don't, usually return for a urine sample within 6 months. This is done to check if there is still blood in their urine.
This study is conducted to find out if the use of "Cxbladder Triage Plus" changes the number of cystoscopies in microhematuria patients. Cxbladder Triage Plus is also called "Triage Plus". It is a lab test that was developed to check how likely urothelial carcinoma is present in the bladder. Urothelial carcinoma is by far the most common type of bladder cancer. For the test, the patient voids some urine into a cup. A laboratory then checks the urine of specific genetic material. Abnormalities can be a sign of urothelial carcinoma. The result indicates if the urine is more like most normal urine or more like that of urothelial carcinoma patients.
The study is done to find out how Triage Plus changes the number of cystoscopies. Study participants first void urine into a cup. The urine is used for the Triage Plus test. The patients are then assigned to one of two groups. The assignment is random. This means the nobody can influence the assignment. The chance to be assigned to either group is the same. In the test group, the urologist will receive the Triage Plus result and discuss it with the patient. Together they decide whether to do a cystoscopy. In the control group, the urologist will not receive the Triage Plus result. The patient will also not get the result. The urologist and patient will follow standard of care to decide whether to do a cystoscopy.
For test group patients, the study gives a recommendation whether to proceed with cystoscopy. It is based on the patient's Triage Plus result. The urologist and patient do not need to follow the recommendation. If the urologist does not follow it, they will complete a survey. The survey has only one question. It is asking for the reasons of the decision.
After making their decision, patients will follow the chosen pathway. Data on the performed procedures are collected. The diagnosis will also be documented. Data will be collected for up to about 9 months.
To see how Triage Plus changes the number of cystoscopies, these will be counted in each group and then compared.

Time frame: At urinalysis 90-180 days (of the decision to proceed with surveillance)
Rate of persistent hematuria in patients choosing surveillance.
Time frame: At the end of the current investigation, i.e. when a diagnosis was made or it was decided not to perform diagnostic procedures other than surveillance. Expected within approximately 120 days after sampling.]
