Bladder Cancer Clinical Trial

Predicting BCG Response

Summary

To date, there are no diagnostics capable of predicting treatment response to intravesical BCG. Because of this severe limitation, nearly 50% of patients treated with BCG fail therapy and will a) require additional intravesical therapy or b) require cystectomy. A urine-based diagnostic that possesses the potential to accurately identify patients who will respond favorably to intravesical BCG is desperately needed.

Have incomplete TUR, i.e., visible residual disease
Have had radical cystectomy
Have a known active urinary tract infection or urinary retention
Have active stone disease (renal or bladder) or renal insufficiency (creatinine >2.0 mg/dL) - Serum creatinine value can be up to 2 years before consent, otherwise repeat.
