What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the use of Bladder EpiCheck, a urine test, to detect urothelial carcinoma in adults aged 45 years or older who have experienced blood in their urine (haematuria). This observational study aims to confirm how accurately the Bladder EpiCheck test identifies urothelial carcinoma compared to standard methods like cystoscopy and pathology when performed. The study focuses on participants undergoing evaluation for haematuria to improve detection methods for bladder-related cancers. Participants will provide a urine sample that will be tested using Bladder EpiCheck. The results of this test will not be shared with the clinical care team or the participant, and their usual medical care will continue unchanged. The study collects data from the standard diagnostic work-up for haematuria, including cystoscopy scheduled within 60 days after enrollment. During the study, participants will provide at least 10 ml of voided urine and undergo standard cystoscopy as part of their routine evaluation. Researchers will assess the sensitivity and specificity of the Bladder EpiCheck test to detect urothelial carcinoma within six months following enrollment. The study includes monitoring for high-grade urothelial carcinoma and compares Bladder EpiCheck's performance to urine cytology. Participation requires adherence to study procedures and will continue through the diagnostic process without altering treatment plans.

Your Study Journey

Screening

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks

Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.

1 visit (in-person)

Diagnostic Evaluation

Duration - Up to 60 days after enrollment

Participants provide a voided urine sample tested using the Bladder EpiCheck test. Participants undergo standard haematuria work-up including cystoscopy to detect urothelial carcinoma. The Bladder EpiCheck results are not shared with participants or clinical care team and do not affect standard care.

1 to 2 visits depending on cystoscopy scheduling

Long-term Monitoring

Duration - 6 months

Participants are observed for urothelial carcinoma detection outcomes within 6 months after enrollment as part of standard care follow-up.

Follow-up visits as per routine clinical care
