The radiosensitizing efficacy of iso-metronidazole, a 4-nitroimidazole derivative, was evaluated in a prospective clinical phase-II study. The results of combined radiotherapy of 25 patients with bladder cancer were compared with those of a control group of 25 patients treated with radiotherapy only. Tumor regression six months after radiotherapy was used as an endpoint. The surgical procedure was performed as double TUR. Evaluating the local tumor control after additional application of iso-metronidazole a gain factor of 1.2 is obtained.
