Artificial Intelligence-assisted Uro-Cam Catheter Assessment System for Diagnosing Bladder Cancer
Hong Kong60 participantsStarted 2028-07-31
Plain-language summary
This is a single-arm study investigating the safety, feasibility and diagnostic performance of AI-assisted Uro-Cam catheter assessment that will be performed at the Prince of Wales Hospital. All patients who are referred to the urology outpatient clinic for hematuria workup, and bladder cancer patients who require follow-up cystoscopy, will be screened for study eligibility. If eligible, patients will be recruited into the study with a proper informed consent. All recruited patients will undergo the AI-assisted Uro-Cam catheter assessment followed by a conventional flexible cystoscopy. The study will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and it will be registered in ClinicalTrials.gov.
An AI-assisted Uro-Cam catheter assessment will be arranged for all recruited study subjects. After the AI-assisted Uro- Cam catheter assessment, a conventional flexible cystoscopy will be conducted in the same session. Biopsy will be taken from any suspicious lesion detected upon AI-assisted Uro-Cam catheter assessment or conventional flexible cystoscopy.
After all the procedures, an End-of-study visit will be arranged 4-6 weeks later. The primary outcomes include 30-day complications, and the technical success rate of the AI-assisted Uro-Cam catheter assessment. 30-day complications will be assessed and grading according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Technical success is defined by the completion of the whole Uro-Cam catheter assessment. The secondary outcomes include the AUC, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value in detecting histologically confirmed bladder cancer.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
