About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Bladder Cancer

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 99 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

The patient must:

  • Be 18 years of age or older
  • Be able to give informed consent
  • Have newly diagnosed or recurrent multi-focal Ta, Large Ta, High Grade Ta, CIS or T1 Bladder Cancer
  • Determined by treating urologist to be a good candidate for BCG Induction Therapy
  • Have an adequate marrow function (defined as white blood cells greater than 1.5 x 103/µl (or 1,500 cells/mm3) and platelets greater than 150,000 cells/mm3; these results can be within last 60 days from the day of signing informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

The patient cannot:

  • Be less than18 years of age
  • Unable to give informed consent
  • Have a history of muscle invasive bladder cancer
  • Be self-reported to be immune-compromised (HIV, chronic immunomodulators, chronic corticosteroids)
  • Have a history of tuberculosis and/or received BCG Percutaneous Vaccination
  • Pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

non-muscle invasive bladder cancer

Arm Description

Every patient meeting eligibility criteria will receive a standard WHO adult potency Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunization (1cc/50mg live mycobacilli) in the right or left deltoid. Following a 19 - 31day wait period after BCG vaccination patients will then receive standard strength BCG intravesical therapy returning once a week for 6 consecutive weeks. Cystoscopy will be performed at 3 and 6 months. Interventions: BCG immunization in deltoid and BCG intravesical therapy once a week for 6 weeks.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

BCG response
Percentage of patients with complete response at 3 months following therapy of combined percutaneous vaccination with TICE percutaneous Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine combined with standard protocol intravesical induction BCG vaccine for patients with non-muscle invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.

Secondary Outcome Measures

PPD conversion
PPD conversion from negative to positive (defined as ≥ 10 mm induration at 48-72 hours following PPD placement).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Approximately 25 subjects will be enrolled and receive a standard WHO adult potency BCG immunization (1cc/50mg live mycobacilli) in the deltoid. Following a wait period after BCG vaccination, patients will then receive standard strength BCG intravesical therapy once a week for a total of 6 weeks. The BCG is instilled and held in the bladder for approximately 2 hours. While the BCG is retained in the bladder the patient should be repositioned every 30 minutes to maximize bladder surface exposure to the agent. Patients will undergo a cystoscopy every 3 months following most recent TURBT. Study duration last approximately 6 months.
