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.
The study has the primary objective to investigate the diagnostic capacity of methylation levels in urine samples, furthermore it has the secondary objective of applying an NGS test on the urine sample capable of evaluating the highest methylation levels comprehensive, with better analytical performance than the currently available standard on the market, leveraging targeted sequencing of multiple genes or global analysis of the whole methylome.
To describe the diagnostic performance of the methods in a real-world clinical environment and identify the characteristic methylation profiles capable of stratifying patients with different prognoses, and finally to explore the potential economic impact of applying such tests as tools alternatives to conventional practices.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Methylation state | 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 | 18 months |
