Study Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of mitomycin-c and gemcitabine sequential instillation in BCG unresponsive high risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. a patient over the age of 20

  2. Patients who are willing and able to complete a written test subjectconsent/approval for this examination.

  3. Patients with histological confirmation of high-risk non-muscle infiltration (T1,high-grade Ta and/or CIS) bladder transition cell cancer. However, according to thedefinition of EAU guidelines high-risk NMIBC, Ta, low grade, and multiplerecurrences of more than 3 cm are included.

  4. The most recent bladder examination/TURBT must be performed within 8 weeks beforethe initial administration of the trial treatment. Patients with high risk NMIBC whoreceived proper BCG treatment but did not respond to BCG

  5. Patients who are not eligible for a radical bladder resection or who have refusedsurgery.

  6. Patient who are not being pregnant or breast feeding until the study period.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer at TURBT

  2. If upper urinary tract urothelial cancer is accompanied by imaging

  3. If the imaging indicates extravesical involvement (cT3)

  4. Imaging shows lymph node metastasis (short-axis 15mm or more) or distant metastasis

  5. In a biopsy, non-transitional cell histology is dominant, or only non-transitionalcell tissue is present (primary squamous cell carcinoma, primary adenocarcinoma,small cell carcinoma, sarcoma, carcinosarcoma, paraganglioma, melanoma, lymphoma)

  6. In the case of receiving systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy for other cancers within 3years

  7. If patient have a history of pelvic radiation therapy for other cancers within 3years

  8. If patient have a history of receiving Mitomycin-c or gemcitabine in the bladderwithin 3 years. The exception is cases used for the purpose of injection therapy ofanticancer drugs in the early bladder cancer

  9. If patient has a history of allergy to mitomycin-c or gemcitabine

  10. Cystoscopy shows a tumor in the prostate urethra

  11. Patients who have participated in studies using clinical trial drugs and arecurrently receiving clinical trial drugs or who have used clinical trial drugs orclinical trial medical devices within 4 weeks prior to the date of initial treatment

  12. After post-cystoscopy/TURBT, the patient received intravesical chemotherapy prior tothe start of trial treatment

  13. Thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy or bleeding tendency patient.

  14. Pregnant or breast-feeding women

  15. If patient treated yellow fever vaccine or phenytoin

  16. Dysfunction of liver or kidney (GFP≤30)

  17. If patient undergo severe myelosuppression

  18. If patient complicated severe infection

  19. If patient definitely diagnosed interstitial lung disease or lung fibrosis by chestX-ray.

  20. If patient conduct chest radiotherapy.

Study Description

Phase 2 clinical, multi-institutional, open assignment prospective study

Primary Outcome Measures:

1-year recurrence-free survival period in high-risk groups after sequential injection of Mitomycin-c 40 mg/20 ml and Gemcitabine 2000 mg/50 ml in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients in BCG-free high-risk groups.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Progression Free Survival (PFS), Cystectomy free survival (CFS), Cancer specific survival (CSS), Overall survival (OS) and safety after Mitomycin-c 40mg/20ml and Gemcitabine 2000mg/50ml treatment in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients in BCG-free high-risk groups.
