Summary

This study looks at whether it is safe to skip preventive antibiotics after bladder removal surgery for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Half of the 120 participants will take nitrofurantoin daily for 10–21 days after surgery, while the other half will receive no antibiotics. The goal is to compare rates of urinary tract infections in the first 90 days after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
nitrofurantoin
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that not all patients need antibiotics after bladder removal surgery, reducing unnecessary drug use and side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a very early-phase trial with only 120 people, so results may not apply broadly. The study focuses on infection rates, not long-term outcomes or survival.
