Abstract 5919: Performance of the Oncuria-detect bladder cancer test for evaluating patients presenting with hematuria: results from a real-world clinical setting

Abstract Background and Objective: Bladder cancer is the 9th most diagnosed cancer worldwide with high incidences reported in Europe and the United States. Here, we evaluated the real-world performance of a commercially available multiplex immunoassay Oncuria-Detect that detects bladder cancer by simultaneously measuring a panel of 10 biomarker proteins in naturally voided urine samples. Methods: We tested prospectively collected urine samples from a real-world cohort of 1, 002 patients presenting to five USA centers, one European center and one Japanese center with hematuria. Assay results were collated with patient clinical data and a cancer diagnosis was defined by biopsy and pathology. The prevalence of bladder cancer in the cohort was 15.9%. Results: In a training set (n=684), the Oncuria-Detect assay correctly identified bladder cancer in 94/109 cases, representing a sensitivity of 91.8%, specificity of 71.6% (AUC 0.885; 95% CI 0.843 - 0.927) and with improved performance for high-grade bladder cancer and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (sensitivity 93.6% and 92.1%, respectively). In a test cohort of n =339 the AUC for detecting bladder cancer was 0.850 (95% CI 0.779-0.920). Conclusions and Implications: The multiplex Oncuria-Detect assay identified bladder cancer with high sensitivity and NPV, for low-grade and high-grade tumors alike. Oncuria-Detect’s high NPV could effectively rule out 66% of patients from requiring subsequent cystoscopy.
