Treatment approaches and biomarker prevalence in bladder cancer in Russia

Official title: A Multicentre Observational Study on Treatment Approaches and HER2 Positive Status Prevalence in Different Stages of Bladder Cancer and PD-L1-positive Status in Metastatic Bladder Cancer in Russian Federation

Run by AstraZeneca · NCT07038928 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project tests how common HER2 and PD-L1 markers are at different stages of bladder cancer and records current treatment approaches in adults across Russia.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with confirmed urothelial bladder cancer at high-risk NMIBC, MIBC, or metastatic stage who can give informed consent and have an available FFPE tumor sample are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients currently participating in any interventional trial since their bladder cancer diagnosis, those without available tumor tissue, or those who do not meet the timing criteria for surgery/diagnosis are unlikely to receive benefit from this observational work.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a multicentre, observational study enrolling about 600 adults with urothelial bladder cancer across roughly 30 oncology centers in the Russian Federation. Enrolled consecutive patients will be grouped into three cohorts of about 200 each by disease stage: high-risk NMIBC, MIBC, and metastatic bladder cancer. Investigators will extract primary and secondary data from medical records, enter information into an electronic case report form, and perform testing on available FFPE tumor samples; there is a single routine visit and no study-directed intervention or follow-up. Epidemiologic methods and descriptive analysis will be used to report treatment patterns and the prevalence of HER2 and PD-L1 by stage.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help clinicians decide when to test for HER2 or PD-L1 and better tailor testing and treatment decisions for patients with bladder cancer in Russia.

How similar studies have gone: Large observational registries have characterized PD-L1 prevalence and informed testing practices, while HER2 prevalence in bladder cancer is less consistently characterized and remains more exploratory.
