Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Development of reliable and reproducible elispot procedure on cells obtained from the bladder. - Validation of elispot PPD on bladder lavage fluids - Determination of the diagnostics and predictive value of Elispot PPD for BCG-related complications. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Which proportion of patients undergoing BCG-installations converts from systemic negatieve reaction to positieve reaction - Correlation of systemic conversion with disease (BCG-itis) - Do local reactions correlate with tumoractivity and /or reduction; does the reaction predict the oncologic outcome ? - Do actual diagnostic procedures give rise to an underestimation of the number of BCG-itis patients and if so, can Elispot- PPD contribute to earlier identification of patients with BCG-ralated complications. - Does Elispot PPD have a predictive value for development BCG-therapy related conditions. | — |
