Conditions

Summary

Bladder cancer is the most common urinary tract cancer and the 6th most common cancer in the US. Yet bladder cancer research is underfunded relative to other common cancers. As a result, bladder cancer care is prone to evidence gaps that produce decision uncertainty for both patients and clinicians. The Comparison of Intravesical Therapy and Surgery as Treatment Options for Bladder Cancer Study 2 (CISTO2) has the potential to fill these critical evidence gaps, change care pathways for the management of NMIBC (non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer), and provide for personalized, patient-centered care. The purpose of CISTO2 is to conduct a large prospective study that directly compares the impact of bladder sparing therapies versus bladder removal in recurrent high-grade NMIBC patients on financial toxicity, clinical outcomes and patient and caregiver experience using standardized patient-reported outcomes (PROs).


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting information on how patients with high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) — cancer limited to the bladder lining — make decisions between continuing bladder-sparing treatments (like chemotherapy washes into the bladder) versus having surgery to remove the bladder. Researchers want to understand real-world patient preferences and outcomes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years or older - You have been diagnosed with high-grade NMIBC (stage Tis, Ta, or T1) confirmed by pathology - You have a history of NMIBC and have received at least one bladder treatment (instillation or systemic therapy) in the past 12 months **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your bladder cancer contains certain aggressive cell types (plasmacytoid or small cell/neuroendocrine) - You have a prior history of bladder removal surgery or radiation therapy for bladder cancer - You have ever had muscle-invasive or metastatic bladder cancer - You have untreated or active cancer in the urinary tract outside the bladder (such as the ureters or kidney) - You are currently incarcerated Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
