OSLO, Norway, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Photocure ASA (OSE: PHO), the Bladder Cancer Company, announces the publication of the study "Oncologic Outcomes of Blue Light Cystoscopy in an Equal Access Setting: Results of the BRAVO study" in JU Open Plus this week. The research objective was to assess if blue light cystoscopy (BLC®) aided TURBT has an impact on the clinical outcomes of patients with NMIBC*. Results of the real-world evidence study show that BLC was associated with a statistically significant 38% reduction in risk of recurrence compared to white light cystoscopy (WLC) use alone in a predominantly high-risk NMIBC patient cohort. These results are in line with prior results from multiple randomized controlled clinical trials.
