Analysis of Urinary Methylation Patterns Via Liquid Biopsy as an Early Diagnosis Tool
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
Multicenter, observational, prospective, biological pilot study on liquid biopsy, aimed at investigating methylation profiles in relation to the early diagnosis of bladder cancer, to validate the potential of commercially available tests (e.g. BladderCARE, Bladder EpiCheck), to apply and validate tests based on targeted multi-marker or genome wide analyzes via NGS and to identify methylation profiles as a tool to infer clinical outcome.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Methylation state — 18 months
Measurement of methylation status using the Bladder CARE test (Pangea Laboratory LLC). The test, based on quantitative PCR and evaluation of methylation status in 3 target genes, is performed on a urine sample and has reported high sensitivity (94%) and specificity (93%) values in determining the presence of bladder cancer
