Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To improve upon the non-invasive detection of BCa by further validating a multiplex ELISA assay directed at a BCa-associated diagnostic signature in voided urine samples of patients with microscopic hematuria.

Detailed Description
Hematuria is the most common presentation of BCa with 8% of patients with microscopic hematuria harboring BCa. VUC is the most widely used urine-based assay for detecting BCa; however, it fails to detect approximately 50% of low-grade or early stage BCa when it is most curable. Because of this severe limitation, patients with hematuria will undergo an invasive examination of the urinary bladder, where a miniature camera is inserted into the bladder.
We propose to improve the non-invasive detection of BCa by further validating a multiplex ELISA assay directed at a BCa-associated diagnostic signature in voided urine samples of patients with microscopic hematuria.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Sensitivity and specificity of multiplex ELISA assay will be confirmed by cystoscopy. [1 year]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Sensitivity and specificity of multiplex ELISA assay will be compared to VUC and NMP-22 BladderChek. [1 year]
