Overview
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.
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.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- a patient over the age of 20
- Patients who are willing and able to complete a written test subject consent/approval for this examination.
- Patients with histological confirmation of high-risk non-muscle infiltration (T1, high-grade Ta and/or CIS) bladder transition cell cancer. However, according to the definition of EAU guidelines high-risk NMIBC, Ta, low grade, and multiple recurrences of more than 3 cm are included.
- The most recent bladder examination/TURBT must be performed within 8 weeks before the initial administration of the trial treatment. Patients with high risk NMIBC who received proper BCG treatment but did not respond to BCG
- Patients who are not eligible for a radical bladder resection or who have refused surgery.
- Patient who are not being pregnant or breast feeding until the study period.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patient diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer at TURBT
- If upper urinary tract urothelial cancer is accompanied by imaging
- If the imaging indicates extravesical involvement (cT3)
- Imaging shows lymph node metastasis (short-axis 15mm or more) or distant metastasis
- In a biopsy, non-transitional cell histology is dominant, or only non-transitional cell tissue is present (primary squamous cell carcinoma, primary adenocarcinoma, small cell carcinoma, sarcoma, carcinosarcoma, paraganglioma, melanoma, lymphoma)
- In the case of receiving systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy for other cancers within 3 years
- If patient have a history of pelvic radiation therapy for other cancers within 3 years
- If patient have a history of receiving Mitomycin-c or gemcitabine in the bladder within 3 years. The exception is cases used for the purpose of injection therapy of anticancer drugs in the early bladder cancer
- If patient has a history of allergy to mitomycin-c or gemcitabine
- Cystoscopy shows a tumor in the prostate urethra
- Patients who have participated in studies using clinical trial drugs and are currently receiving clinical trial drugs or who have used clinical trial drugs or clinical trial medical devices within 4 weeks prior to the date of initial treatment
- After post-cystoscopy/TURBT, the patient received intravesical chemotherapy prior to the start of trial treatment
- Thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy or bleeding tendency patient.
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women
- If patient treated yellow fever vaccine or phenytoin
- Dysfunction of liver or kidney (GFP≤30)
- If patient undergo severe myelosuppression
- If patient complicated severe infection
- If patient definitely diagnosed interstitial lung disease or lung fibrosis by chest X-ray.
- If patient conduct chest radiotherapy.
