Yair Lotan, MD, professor of urology at UT Southwestern, discusses the STRATA trial, a randomized study aimed at reducing unnecessary cystoscopies in patients with microhematuria using the Cxbladder Triage test. Dr. Lotan explains the significant burden of microscopic blood in the urine, affecting up to 15% of adults, and highlights how current AUA guidelines recommend cystoscopy for most patients, despite the invasive nature of the procedure. He outlines the motivation behind the STRATA trial: to explore whether a urine marker test with high negative predictive value could safely reduce the number of cystoscopies, especially in low-risk patients.
