Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

BCG treatment of invasive bladder cancer

Arm Description

Invasive bladder cancer treated with 3-6 weeks of intravesical BCG

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Ability of BCG to Enhance Tumor Specific Immunity
The tumor specific immunity is measured by the change in T cell proliferation post-treatment compared to the pre-treatment assessment, which will require a sample size of at least 10

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Patients with invasive bladder cancer will be given 3-6 treatments (based on treatment response) BCG intravesically followed by a cystectomy.
Detailed Description
Patients with muscle invasive (≥T1) bladder cancer will be given 3-6 treatments (based on treatment response) intravesical TICE® BCG. BCG is an attenuated, live culture preparation of the Bacillus of Calmette and Guerin (BCG) strain of Mycobacterium bovis. After completion of BCG treatments the patient will undergo a cystectomy. A portion of bladder tumor tissue and lymph nodes will be collected for research purposes during the cystectomy.
