Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with a recent diagnosis of high or very high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer under surveillance.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have undergone total bladder resection or have bladder cancer types other than urothelial carcinoma will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the VisioCyt® test, an innovative in vitro diagnostic device that utilizes artificial intelligence and bright-field imaging to analyze urine samples for the early detection of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The study aims to demonstrate the superiority of this test over conventional cytology in identifying tumor recurrences in patients at high risk for progression. Conducted across multiple centers in Europe, it focuses on patients who have been diagnosed with NMIBC within the last 24 months. The trial will assess the effectiveness of the VisioCyt® test in improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this test could lead to earlier and more accurate detection of bladder cancer recurrences, improving patient management and outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with AI-based diagnostic tools in oncology, suggesting potential for success with this novel approach.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years old and autonomous * Patient understanding national language well and able to understand the protocol. * Patient information and informed consent signature before the start of the study * Patients under surveillance of Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) at high and very high risk of progression, whatever the stage on the basis of a histological result. The diagnosis (primary or recurrence) should be less than or equal to 24 months (the last histology result confirming a bladder cancer with high or very high risk of recurrence is taken into account). Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have had total bladder resection or bladder reconstruction * Age \<18 years old * Person deprived of liberty or under guardianship (including curatorship) * Bladder cancer outside of urothelial carcinoma * Associated high urinary tract carcinoma * Kidney transplant patient (BK virus) * Pelvic radiotherapy patient (prostate cancer) * Patients with or under surveillance of a muscle-infiltrating bladder tumor
