NCT ID NCT06335667

Diagnosis Sponsor: University of California, Irvine Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study is testing whether a special MRI scan (mpMRI) can accurately diagnose muscle-invasive bladder cancer without needing an invasive biopsy (TURBT). Researchers will compare the MRI results to the biopsy results in 30 adults with suspected muscle-invasive bladder cancer. If the MRI proves reliable, it could lead to faster, less painful diagnosis and better quality of life for patients.

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Mar 2024

Expected to finish

Apr 2030

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years old or greater at the time of consent. * Suspected muscle-invasive bladder cancer by tumor appearance on initial routine cystoscopy as determined by the UCI-affiliated provider performing this procedure. * ECOG Performance Status of 0-3. * Patients must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document (prior to the initiation of the study and any study procedures). * Patients must be willing and able to comply with the scheduled visits, imaging plan, follow up plan, and other specified study procedures in the opinion of the Investigator. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior TURBT within 120 days of study entry. * Prior therapy for bladder cancer within 180 days of study entry. * Inability to tolerate mpMRI or associated contrast. * Inability to tolerate TURBT or associated anesthesia. * ECOG Performance Status of 4. * Female patient who is known to be pregnant or breastfeeding.
