Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with histologically confirmed non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder that has been completely resected by TURBT within the last 3 months.

Probably not a fit

Patients not experiencing any reduction in recurrence risk or who cannot tolerate SOC therapies may not derive benefit from adding LCS103.

What this trial studies

This phase IIa, single-site, randomized, open-label trial will enroll 60 adults with non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder who recently had TURBT. Participants are randomized 1:1 to receive LCS103 plus standard care (SOC) or SOC alone for one year. The LCS103 group takes three tablets twice daily and follows risk-stratified SOC monitoring, with procedures such as cystoscopy and intravesical therapies (BCG) as indicated by risk level. After one year, LCS103 is stopped, and all participants continue SOC monitoring as needed. The study aims to assess safety and see if adding LCS103 can reduce recurrence or progression compared with SOC alone.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience lower recurrence of bladder cancer and a simpler adjunctive treatment option alongside standard care.

How similar studies have gone: Evidence for similar herbal formulations in NMIBC is limited; this approach is exploratory for secondary prevention.
