Scientific titleA randomised study of 'bluelight' hexyl aminolevulinic acid (HAL) photodynamic assisted resection of bladder tumours versus conventional 'whitelight' transurethral resection of newly diagnosed bladder tumours comparing rates of tumour recurrence over one year - a Phase IV trial
Study objectivesThe aim is to determine if photodynamic assisted resection can reduce the recurrence rate of tumour at one year when compared with the control group. The primary endpoint is the diagnosis of recurrent tumour at 3 months or 12 months on check cystoscopy.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedBladder cancer
InterventionIntervention: Pre-operative intravesical instillation of solution of hexylaminolevulinic acid (HAL) - photodynamic 'bluelight' assisted resection of bladder tumours
Control: Conventional 'whitelight' transurethral resection
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase IV
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Hexyl aminolevulinic acid (HAL)
Primary outcome measureRecurrence rates of bladder tumour at 3 months and 12 months post surgery
Secondary outcome measuresAnalysis of histology

Completion date01/02/2007

Eligibility

Participant type(s)Patient
Age groupAdult
SexBoth
Target number of participants200 (100 in each group)
Key inclusion criteria1. New diagnosis of bladder tumour - the study is designed to reduce recurrence rates in newly diagnosed cases of bladder tumours
2. Superficial disease - the study will address the recurrence rates in superficial bladder cancer
3. No history of previous bladder surgery - previous surgical procedures to the bladder may cause artifactual changes when using 'blue light' cystoscopy
4. Life expectancy of at least 1-year - study duration will be for 1-year
Key exclusion criteria1. Previous bladder tumour or coexisting/previous upper tract disease - the study is designed to reduce recurrence rates in newly diagnosed cases of bladder tumours
2. Muscle invasive disease - the study will address the recurrence rates in superficial bladder cancer
3. Previous bladder surgery -previous surgical procedures to the bladder may cause artifactual changes when using 'blue light' cystoscopy
