New treatment option for Bladder Cancer
Official title Home Intravenous Fluid Infusion After Undergoing Radical Cystectomy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07225205
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Radical cystectomy is the standard of care for muscle invasive bladder cancer, however despite advances, it is still associated with high morbidity. Many complications may be driven by dehydration and it is unclear if a home intravenous fluid (IVF) infusion program post-operatively, which is an accepted standard practice, is beneficial.
