Brief summary

This study is evaluating the performance of Cxbladder tests in determining whether patients are at low or high risk of bladder cancer when presenting with blood in urine. Who is it for? You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 18 years or over and are undergoing investigative cystoscopy at either the Princess Alexandra, Redland, Redcliffe or Queen Elizabeth II hospitals for investigation of recent (within the last 3 months) macroscopic or microscopic haematuria (i.e. blood in urine). Study details All participants in this study will undergo a Cxbladder urine diagnostic test as well as standard investigative cystoscopy. Results of both of these tests will then be compared in order to evaluate accuracy of the Cxbladder test. It is hoped that our study will determine the utility of the Cxbladder urine diagnostic test in an Australian clinical setting by demonstrating performance characteristics while also showing efficacy in clinical practice.

This is a prospective study recruiting patients presenting with blood in urine who are undergoing urological investigation for the presence of bladder cancer. This study is designed to highlight the utility of the Cxbladder tests in an Australian clinical setting by demonstrating performance characteristics in a clinical practice. Results of the Cxbladder test will be correlated with the outcome of investigative cystoscopy, which is the standard of care for patients presenting with blood in urine. A urine sample will be collected prior to the investigative cystoscopy (either immediately prior or several days prior depending on whether the patient is having a flexible or rigid cystscopy). There are 3 Cxbladder tests to be evaluated in this study, - Cxbladder Triage, which is designed to rules out the presence of bladder cancer in patients presenting with blood in urine at an early stage, thereby potentially avoiding invasive cystoscopy; - Cxbladder Detect, which is used in detection of bladder cancer in patients with blood in urine; and - Cxbladder Resolve is designed to accurately segregate patients being evaluated for blood in urine with a high probability of high grade and/or late stage UC, from patients with low or minimal risk of the disease. For the patient, each of these test just require a mid-stream urine test for analysis and collection of clinical information. Each algorithm (Detect, Triage & Resolve) uses different combinations of the analysis outputs and clinical data. The study will be conducted in two stages, Stage 1: patient data and urine sample collection and Stage 2: Review of patient records for patients that had negative cystoscopy result.
