Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The sensitivity and specificity of Bladder EpiCheck to detect primary urothelial carcinoma, calculated versus the Reference Standard defined by cystoscopy, imaging, and, if indicated, pathological confirmation) in subjects presenting with haematuria (visible and/or non-visible). Measured at a single timepoint.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Measured at a single timepoint: 1. Non-inferiority of Bladder EpiCheck overall sensitivity vs cytology in the detection of primary urothelial carcinoma 2. Non-inferiority of Bladder EpiCheck specificity vs cytology in the detection of primary urothelial carcinoma 3. The sensitivity of the Bladder EpiCheck test to detect pathologically confirmed high-grade urothelial carcinoma, including HG non-muscle invasive and muscle-invasive disease
