Outcomes of High-risk Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Treated With Blue Light Resection

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

Comparing white-light cystoscopy (WLC) and blue-light cystoscopy (BLC) in TURBT for high risk (HR) non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients is crucial to determine the most effective method for reducing residual disease burden and improving recurrence-free survival. Enhanced visualization with BLC may lead to more accurate resections, potentially decreasing recurrence rates and improving long-term outcomes for bladder cancer patients. Patients will be randomized to either WLC TURBT or BLC TURBT, and outcomes will be measured using standard-of-care testing with cystoscopy and cytology, along with minimal residual disease (MRD) burden evaluation using urine next-generation sequencing.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Patients undergoing TURBT for radiographic or cystoscopic positive tumor - 18+ years old - Upper tract evaluated using standard of care throughout duration of the study - Induction intravesical therapy initiated within four weeks of TURBT Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Variant histology consisting of less than 50% urothelial carcinoma - History, or current diagnosis, of upper tract tumor or muscle-invasive bladder cancer - Prior history of pelvic radiation - Active urinary tract infection (UTI) - Patients who are noncompliant with the study protocol Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

DRUG

Cysview

Blue light cystoscopy uses hexyl aminolevulinate (HAL, branded in the United States as Cysview), a prodrug which accumulates in the bladder tumors and improves the tumor's visualization.
