Number of participants that the trial has enrolled

82

Results

1. Among the 82 study participants, 43.7% had distant metastases, and their ctDNA fraction was elevated (median: 4.86%). Genetic mutations were identified in tumor tissue samples from 64 cases, with a concordance rate of 50.2% between tumor tissue and cfDNA.
2. A higher ctDNA fraction was significantly associated with the presence of distant metastases (P = 0.012). Additionally, in samples with a ctDNA fraction of 5% or higher, the concordance rate with tumor tissue samples was 89.7%.

Participant flow

Selection Criteria for Study Participants
1. Setting
Patients diagnosed with urothelial carcinoma based on clinical and pathological evaluation who received treatment at Kyoto University Hospital between January 1, 2018, and October 31, 2020. Eligible patients must have had blood and tumor samples collected as part of the study "Personalized Treatment Approaches in Urological Cancer" (Research Project Number: G-52) and must have provided written consent for the secondary use of their specimens.
2. Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
Patients who meet the following criteria are eligible for this study:
Provided informed consent for participation in the study "Personalized Treatment Approaches in Urological Cancer" (Research Project Number: G-52) conducted by the Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University.
Provided consent for the secondary use of specimens in accordance with Kyoto University Hospital's "Explanation and Consent Form for the Storage and Future Use of Biological Samples."
Both tumor tissue and blood samples must have been preserved since 2018.
The selection criteria for the G-52 study include:
Patients with a pathological diagnosis of urological cancer.
Other participants, including patients diagnosed with benign urological diseases and healthy individuals who attended urology outpatient services (control group). The control group is essential for analyzing genetic marker changes associated with the therapeutic efficacy of urothelial carcinoma treatment. When collecting specimens from these control participants, thorough explanations and consent are required.
For this study, only patients falling under the first category those diagnosed with urothelial carcinoma will be included.
Exclusion Criteria
Patients will be excluded if they:
Did not provide consent for the secondary use of specimens as part of the "Personalized Treatment Approaches in Urological Cancer" study (Research Project Number: G-52) or Kyoto University Hospital's "Explanation and Consent Form for the Storage and Future Use of Biological Samples."
Expressed their intention to opt out of this study.

Adverse events

No adverse events

Outcome measures

We identified genetic mutations from cfDNA and evaluated various parameters, including variant allele frequency (VAF), ctDNA fraction, and tumor mutation burden (TMB).
We analyzed the dynamics of the cancer cell fraction (CCF), which was calculated based on the VAF of detected genetic mutations during systemic therapy and upon the emergence of resistance.
Furthermore, we examined the association between cfDNA analysis results and clinical outcomes, including treatment response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival.
