Urinary Bladder Neoplasms study: Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Official title Virtual Histology of the Bladder Wall for Bladder Cancer Staging
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04369560
What this study is testing
What is Gadobutrol intravesical administration (4 mM)?
An investigational intravesical contrast agent being studied for imaging urinary bladder neoplasms. It is designed to enhance magnetic resonance images of the bladder by providing contrast that highlights tumor presence and depth.
Also referred to as Gadavist.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study checks if a special MRI scan can safely and accurately show how deep bladder cancer has grown.
- Who it's for
- Adults with bladder cancer who are scheduled for surgery.
- What's involved
- Participants will have one MRI scan. First a normal image, then a catheter is inserted to give a contrast solution, followed by a second image. Two radiologists will read the scans without knowing the surgical results.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts only the day of the MRI; no extra visits are required.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- This is a blinded study.
