Abstract

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of NefroBest-N in patients undergoing to the radical cystectomy with neobladder formation.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 60 patients with invasive bladder cancer aged 56 to 75 years, treated at A.I. Burnazyan SRC FMBC and at the M.A. Podgorbunsky Kuzbass linical Hospital of Emergency Medical Care in 2022, were included in randomized multicenter parallel group study. All patients underwent radical cystectomy with a formation of Studer neobladder. The main group included those who received the drug NefroBest-N, 1 capsule 2 times a day for 90 days. In the control group, only symptomatic therapy according to current standards was administered. The study consisted of a screening period of up to 4 days (Visit 1) and a period of 90+2 days to evaluate the efficiency of therapy, including 3 visits: day 14 (Visit 2), 30+2 days (Visit 3) and 90+2 days (Visit 4). Laboratory examination and imaging studies included biochemistry panel (urea, creatinine, K, Na, CRP), urinalysis (presence of mucus, leukocytes), urine culture (bacteriuria), physical examination, renal and neobladder ultrasound with determination of postvoid residual volume. In addition, evaluation of the quality of life was also performed.

RESULTS: Evaluation of efficacy and safety of NefroBest-N was carried out. Administration of NefroBest-N resulted in a more rapid improvement of urinalysis, including a significant decrease in severity of leukocyturia and amount of mucus. In…
