Phase I Mitomycin Combined With Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for Bladder Cancer
Urinary Bladder Neoplasm
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Urinary Bladder Neoplasm focused on measuring bladder cancer, mitomycin, BCG, intravesical, non-muscle invasive
Eligibility Criteria

- Newly diagnosed or recurrent multi-focal Ta, large Ta, high-grade Ta, CIS, or T1 bladder cancer
- In urologist's opinion a good candidate for BCG induction therapy
- Be able to give informed consent
- Be age 18 or older.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Inadequate marrow function (defined as granulocytes less than 1,500 cells/mm3 and platelets less than 150,000 cells/mm3)
- Immunosuppressed state (e.g. HIV, use of chronic steroids)

Intravesical Mitomycin C and intravesical BCG First intravesical mitomycin C (10 mg) is instilled for 30 minutes. Then the mitomycin is removed and the bladder is gently hand-irrigated with sterile water for 15 minutes in order to facilitate removal of mitomycin C. Then, intravesical BCG (half dose) is instilled for 2 hours under usual conditions. Full dose BCG corresponds to 1 to 8x10^8 colony-forming units of BCG. This study targets patients with BCG-naive or BCG-refractory high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The first 3 participants received 10mg of MMC and half dose of BCG. The dose was assigned in order of enrollment.
First intravesical mitomycin C (10 mg) is instilled for 30 minutes. Then the mitomycin is removed and the bladder is gently hand-irrigated with sterile water for 15 minutes in order to facilitate removal of mitomycin C. Then, intravesical BCG (full dose) is instilled for 2 hours under usual conditions. Full dose BCG corresponds to 1 to 8x10^8 colony-forming units of BCG. This study targets patients with BCG-naive or BCG-refractory high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The following 3 participants received 10mg of MMC and full dose BCG. Dose was assigned in order of enrollment.
First intravesical mitomycin C (20 mg) is instilled for 30 minutes. Then the mitomycin is removed and the bladder is gently hand-irrigated with sterile water for 15 minutes in order to facilitate removal of mitomycin C. Then, intravesical BCG (full dose) is instilled for 2 hours under usual conditions. Full dose BCG corresponds to 1 to 8x10^8 colony-forming units of BCG. This study targets patients with BCG-naive or BCG-refractory high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The next 3 participants enrolled received 20mg of MMC and full dose BCG. Dose was assigned in order of enrollment.
First intravesical mitomycin C (40 mg) is instilled for 30 minutes. Then the mitomycin is removed and the bladder is gently hand-irrigated with sterile water for 15 minutes in order to facilitate removal of mitomycin C. Then, intravesical BCG (full dose) is instilled for 2 hours under usual conditions. Full dose BCG corresponds to 1 to 8x10^8 colony-forming units of BCG. This study targets patients with BCG-naive or BCG-refractory high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The last 3 participants received 40mg of MMC and full dose BCG. Dose was assigned in order of enrollment.
