Cxbladder Triage is an mRNA based urinary genomic test with a negative predictive value of 99% for UC. In this interim analysis of a prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial we compared use of cystoscopy in a standard of care arm versus a marker based approach. METHODS: Patients with asymptomatic microhematuria were enrolled into the trial and provided urine for a Cxbladder Triage test. Those categorized as "low risk" (LR) defined as≥3 to 29 RBC/hpf and minimal smoking history (0-10 pack years) were randomized 2:1 between the test group who were provided the Triage test result vs the standard of care (SOC) group (Cystoscopy). Those with a negative Triage were offered omission of cystoscopy with surveillance using marker, urine cytology and abdominal ultrasound. Patient decision and results of cystoscopy if done were recorded. RESULTS: Of 449 patients enrolled, 205 were LR and randomized to Triage informed decision (132) or SOC (73) and complete information was available in 147. The median age was 56 years (range 18-90) and 48% were male. In the SOC arm, 38/59 (64%) of patients had cystoscopy. In the Triage arm, 79/88 (90%) had a negative Triage test. Cystoscopy was chosen by 20/79 (25%) who had a negative test and 7/9 (78%) with a positive test. Overall the cystoscopy rate in the Triage group was 27/88 (31%) which was a 52% reduction compared to the SOC arm (chi2 16.3, p=0.00005). In those who had cystoscopy, 1 UC was found (patient had a positive Triage test). CONCLUSIONS: In this prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial, use of Cxbladder Triage to inform the decision for cystoscopy in patients with lower risk asymptomatic microscopic hematuria resulted in a 52% reduction in cystoscopy. This demonstrated clinical utility of Cxbladder Triage can help reduce the burden of unnecessary cystoscopies in this population resulting in less patient morbidity and discomfort, improved access to care, and reduced environmental impact.
