In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This phase IV trial studies whether there is a relationship between how a patient is positioned while receiving bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) within the bladder (intravesical) and how long BCG stays in the bladder (dwell time) to improve the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. For the past 40 years, intravesical BCG has been used for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. An important factor for BCG treatment is the dwell time, which is the period of time a patient can hold the BCG medication in the bladder after it has been given. Normally, patients are instructed during intravesical BCG treatment to avoid emptying the bladder for 2 hours after the BCG is given. However, this may be difficult for some patients who may have limited bladder capacity, restricted movement, or severe urinary symptoms. There have been studies outlining the relationship with increas
