Study To Optimize Photodynamic Transurethral Resection of the Bladder (TUR-B) In Clinical Practice

OPTIC-III Prospective Non-Interventional Study To Optimize Photodynamic TUR-B In Clinical Practice

The purpose of the study is to assess additional detection of Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) with hexyl aminolevulinate (HAL) cystoscopy based on lesions in patients undergoing TUR-B compared to white-light cystoscopy under the conditions of daily clinical practice.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Indication of TURB due to suspicion of NMIBC (patients suspected to have non muscle invasive bladder cancer).
• Subject able to comply with the protocol.
• Written informed consent available.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of the solvent.
• Porphyria.
• Gross haematuria.
• Women of child-bearing potential.
• Repeated TURB (control TURB) as part of follow-up after previous TURB.
• Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) or Mitomycin / intravesical chemotherapy instillation therapy in the last 12 weeks or any other contraindications according to the SmPC.
