About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Distilled Water vs Mitomycin C as a Single Dose Immediate Instillation After Transurethral Resection of Intermediate Risk, Recurrent Superficial Bladder Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the efficacy of distilled water vs Mitomycin C on preventing the recurrences of intermediate risk group recurrent superficial bladder cancer administered as a single dose immediate instillation after complete Transurethral Resection(TUR) of the tumor.

Read the detailed description

We plan to administer 200ml of distilled water as a single peroperative instillation and block the catheter for 2 hours to our eligible recurrent superficial bladder cancer patients who were in our follow-up schedule since 2002.

We plan to look over the histories of the same patients in terms of the pathologies, recurrence patterns, the presence of peroperative intracavitary therapy after their previous TURs for recurrences.

So we shall compare the effectiveness of MMC and distilled water on reducing the recurrences over the same patient pool.

The patients will be scheduled for a follow-up program after TUR as;

  • cystoscopy
  • urine cytology
  • bladder wash cytology for the probability of recurrence for 2 years to see if there is any difference in the recurrence patterns after instillation with distilled water vs MMC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing distilled water in people with Recurrent Superficial Bladder Cancer and Distilled Water, run by Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

tumor recurrence by cystoscopic examination, urine and bladder wash cytology (time frame: within two years after instillation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Feb 2009.
