Registry Platform Urologic Cancer (CARAT)

March 8, 2024 updated by: iOMEDICO AG

Clinical Research Platform On Urologic Cancer Treatment And Outcome (Registry Platform Urologic Cancer; CARAT)

The purpose of the project is to set up a national, prospective, longitudinal, multicenter cohort study with associated satellites, a tumor registry platform, to document uniform data on characteristics, molecular diagnostics, treatment and course of disease, to collect patient-reported outcomes and to establish a decentralized biobank for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma or advanced urothelial cancer in Germany.

Detailed Description

CARAT is a national, observational, prospective, longitudinal, multicenter cohort study (tumor registry platform) with the purpose to record information on the antineoplastic treatment of renal cell carcinoma and urothelial cancer in Germany. The registry will follow patients with advanced renal carcinoma for up to three years, and patients with advanced urothelial cancer for up to two years. It will identify common therapeutic sequences and changes in the treatment of the disease. At inclusion, data in patient characteristics, comorbidities, tumor characteristics and previous treatments are collected. During the course of observation data on all systemic treatments, radiotherapies, surgeries, and outcome are documented.

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with renal cell carcinoma or urothelial cancel will be evaluated for up to two years.
