Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate mood changes in patients with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer who are receiving intravesical Bacillus Calmete-Guerin (BCG). Patients with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer receiving intravesical treatments are eligible to participate in this study. Participation involves providing research blood and urine samples prior to the start of treatment and throughout the treatment course. The study team will also collect participant's medical history and clinical information. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires and daily mood diaries.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer who are receiving intravesical treatments are eligible to participate in this study. Participants will be asked to complete the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale prior to each induction intravesical treatment. During the 6-week induction intravesical treatment, participants will also be given a daily mood dairy to complete. Urine Specimens will be collected prior to each induction intravesical treatment and at each 3-month cystoscopy appointment during the treatment course. An at home urine collection may occur 6 hours post intravesical treatment. Research Blood Samples will be collected prior to the first induction intravesical treatment, prior to the fourth intravesical treatment, and prior to each 3-month follow-up cystoscopy as indicated by the participant's treatment course. Participants will be asked to complete the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale prior to each 3-month follow-up cystoscopy during the treatment course. A 3-week daily mood diary will be completed by participants during the 3-week intravesical maintenance treatment. Participants will be given a daily mood diary to complete between the 3-month follow-up cystoscopy appointments.

Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer - Bacillus Calmete-Guerin (BCG) intravesical treatments

Participants who are receiving BCG intravesical treatments will be asked to provide research urine samples and blood samples prior to and during their treatment course. Participants will also be asked to complete the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale at the start and throughout the treatment course. Participants will be given a daily mood diary to complete at the following timepoints: 6-week induction treatment, 3-week maintenance treatment, and the 3-month follow-up. The study team will ask permission from participants to utilize excess tissue samples from standard of care procedures and biopsies. Participants' medical history and clinical data will also be collected for the study.

Questionnaires

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will be given the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale to complete prior to each induction intravesical treatment and prior to 3-month follow-up appointments.

Daily Mood Diaries

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will be given daily mood diaries to complete during their 6-week induction intravesical treatment, 3-week maintenance treatment course, and between 3-month follow-up appointments.

Urine Specimen Collection

Intervention Type OTHER

Urine collections from patients will occur prior to each induction intravesical treatment and at 3-month follow-up cystoscopy appointments. An at home urine collection may occur 6 hours post intravesical treatment.

Research Blood Draw

Intervention Type OTHER

Blood collections will occur prior to first intravesical treatment, prior to fourth intravesical treatment, and each 3-month cystoscopy as indicated by the participant's treatment course.

Utilize excess tissue from a standard of care procedure

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants may indicate permission to provide excess tissue from a clinically indicated procedure for research purposes.

Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer - Chemotherapy intravesical treatments

Participants who are receiving chemotherapy intravesical treatments will be asked to provide research urine samples and blood samples prior to and during their treatment course. Participants will also be asked to complete the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale at the start and throughout the treatment course. Participants will be given a daily mood diary to complete at the following timepoints: 6-week induction treatment, 3-week maintenance treatment, and the 3-month follow-up. The study team will ask permission from participants to utilize excess tissue samples from standard of care procedures and biopsies.
