NCT06675656

Brief Summary

This study aims to establish the microbiota composition as a predictive tool for the response to the intravesical immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and 2 different chemotherapies schemes. In this prospective cohort study patients with low/intermediate/high risk non muscle invasive bladder carcinoma (NMIBC) that undergo BCG/chemo treatment will be enrolled to collect urine stool and blood at different endpoints. Microbiota, short-chain fatty acids and immunophenotype will be quantified to develop a predictive screening platform, which might also integrate traditional urinary cytology and FISH data.
