Urinary Bladder Neoplasms

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to understand how the participants with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer are diagnosed, treated, and cared for in regular clinical practice in Portugal. HR-NMIBC is an early-stage bladder cancer that is limited to the inner lining of bladder but has a considerable high chance of cancer coming back or worsening.

Inclusion criteria

* Bladder cancer diagnosis between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020 * Tumor stage N0/x and M0/x plus any of the following: Tis (primary CIS); TaG3/HG (high-grade non-invasive papillary carcinoma); or T1 (tumor invading subepithelial connective tissue) * Minimal follow-up time of 5 years unless there is premature death event

Exclusion criteria

* Tumor stage at diagnosis classified as TaG1-2, T2-T4, N1-3, or M1 * History of radical cystectomy performed either prior to the HR-NMIBC index diagnosis or for an indication unrelated to the index HR-NMIBC * Participation in any interventional clinical trial during the observation period

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Treatment Patterns: Type of Therapeutic ApproachUp to 5 yearsNumber of participants receiving different types of therapeutic approach including bacillus calmette-guerin (BCG) therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy will be reported.
Treatment Patterns: Type of SurgeryUp to 5 yearsNumber of participants undergoing different types of surgery, including transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT), repeat TURBT or cystectomy will be reported.
Treatment Patterns by Subpopulation: Tumor StageUp to 5 yearsNumber of participants by tumor stage will be reported.
Treatment Patterns by Subpopulation: HistologyUp to 5 yearsNumber of participants by histology will be reported.
Treatment Patterns by Subpopulation: Line of TherapyUp to 5 yearsNumber of participants by line of therapy will be reported,

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Total Number of BCG Doses AdministeredUp to 5 yearsTotal number of BCG doses administered will be reported.
Percentage of Participants With BCG Non-Responsive DiseaseUp to 5 yearsPercentage of participants with BCG non-responsive disease will be reported. This is defined as being one of the following: a) Persistent or recurrent carcinoma in situ (CIS) alone or with recurrent Ta/T1 (noninvasive papillary disease/tumor invades the subepithelial connective tissue) disease within 12 months of completion of adequate BCG therapy (defined as at least 5 of 6 induction doses, plus at least 2 of 3 maintenance doses or a second induction). b) Recurrent high-grade Ta/T1 disease within 6 months of completion of adequate BCG therapy. c) T1 high-grade disease at the first evaluation following an induction BCG course.
Reasons for BCG InterruptionUp to 5 yearsNumber of participants with reasons for BCG interruption will be reported.
Therapy Choice at RecurrenceUp to 5 yearsTherapy choice at recurrence for participants will be reported.
Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS)Up to 5 yearsRFS is defined as the time from the date of first treatment initiation for high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) to the first documented recurrence of high-risk disease, death due to any cause, or censoring, whichever occurs first.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)Up to 5 yearsPFS is defined as the time from the date of first treatment initiation for HR-NMIBC to the first documentation of disease progression, death from any cause, or censoring, whichever occurs first.
Overall Survival (OS)Up to 5 yearsOS is defined as the time from the date of first treatment initiation for HR-NMIBC to death from any cause or censoring, whichever occurs first.
Metastasis-Free Survival (MFS)Up to 5 yearsMFS is defined as the time from the date of first treatment initiation for HR-NMIBC to the occurrence of distant metastasis, death from any cause, or censoring, whichever occurs first.
Time to Next Treatment (TTNT)Up to 5 yearsTTNT is defined as the time from the date of first treatment initiation for HR-NMIBC to the initiation of the next line of treatment or censoring.
Time on Treatment (TOT)Up to 5 yearsTOT is defined as the duration between the first and last administration of the treatment.
Complete Response Rate (CR)Up to 5 yearsComplete response is defined as the absence of detectable bladder cancer at 6 months after completion of treatment, as confirmed by cystoscopic evaluation and optionally complemented by urine cytology.
Number and Type of Healthcare Resource Utilization Related to HR-NMIBCUp to 5 yearsNumber and type of healthcare resource utilization related to HR-NMIBC, including procedures, hospitalizations and outpatient visits will be reported.
