Summary
eRapa (encapsulated rapamycin) will be investigated for secondary prevention in patients with
diagnosed non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) through a phase II double-blind
randomized controlled trial of long-term (one year) prevention with eRapa versus placebo. The
primary hypothesis is that eRapa decreases the risk of cancer relapse for patients with
NMIBC. Secondary hypotheses are that eRapa can improve certain immune parameters and improve
cognition and physical function without adversely affecting patient-reported outcomes and
quality of life.
