NCT ID NCT05521698

First seen Feb 17, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing whether bicalutamide, a drug used for prostate cancer, can change a protein linked to bladder cancer growth. About 80 men with non-invasive bladder cancer will either take the drug or not, and researchers will compare protein levels in their bladder tissue. The goal is to learn if the drug might help, not to cure or treat the disease directly.
