“CISTO: Comparison of Intravesical Therapy and Surgery as Treatment Options for Bladder
Cancer” CISTO is a prospective observational cohort study of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder
cancer (NMIBC) that have failed first-line BCG, and their caregivers. In this study, patient-
reported outcomes and patient-centered clinical outcomes will be compared between patients
undergoing radical cystectomy and those receiving bladder-sparing intravesical therapies for
NMIBC. Additional aims include evaluating the heterogeneity of treatments received and
corresponding patient/caregiver preferences as well as comparing the impact of treatment on
caregivers.

“Developing an Interactive, Patient-Centered mHealth Tool to Enhance Post-Cystectomy Care”
The goal of this award is to support the PI in becoming an independently funded physician-
scientist who is actively engaged in health information technology (HIT) interventions that
improve the process and outcomes of care of surgical patients following discharge. Using radical
cystectomy as a model, the proposed research seeks to develop and pilot test an electronic,
internet-based mHealth tool that prospectively collects patient centered outcome data on key
symptoms, functional status, and medication adherence.

“Patient Empowerment through Engagement Research Training in Bladder Cancer PCOR
(PEER)”
This award involves development of a bladder cancer research training module supplemented
with existing training materials available through the PCORI-funded web-based portal (INSPIRE)
and a workshop at a BCAN leadership conference. The effectiveness of this training tool (PEER –
Patient Empowerment in Engagement Research) will be tested through patient engagement in
identifying and refining a patient-centered research question and involvement in an existing
PCOR project. Ultimately, trained patients will serve as mentors for future cohorts, creating a
sustainable method for continued patient engagement in bladder cancer research.

Effect of supplemental omega-3 fatty acids in patients with superficial bladder cancer after
transurethral resection: a randomized trial
The primary specific aim is to evaluate whether dietary supplementation of two doses of omega-3
fatty acids (1800 mg and 3600 mg daily) for 9 months can reduce one-year (post initiation of the
intervention) recurrence rates in patients with low-risk, superficial bladder cancer after
transurethral endoscopic resection. OVERLAP NONE (Note: Submitted but delayed due to
