About this study

Official title: Sequential Intravesical Mitomycin Plus Bacillus Calmette-Guérin for Non-Muscle Invasive Urothelial Bladder Carcinoma: Translational and Phase I Clinical Trial

The study aims to establish the safety and toxicity of a combined intravesical mitomycin C with BCG for patients with bladder cancer.

Read the detailed description

Urine Sample Collection and Handling: Voided urine will be collected pre and post BCG procedure. Urinalysis will be performed if participant presents with urinary symptoms. Analysis of urinary cytokines as predictors of response to therapy will be conducted by ELISA kits.

Tissue Sample Collection and Handling: Tissue biopsy specimens will be collected pre BCG procedure. Analysis of gene expression will be conducted.

TEST PROCEDURES Subjects will be given one of three concentrations of Mitomycin C (MMC) (10 mg in 20 mL, 20 mg in 20 ml or 40 mg in 20 ml) for 30 minutes followed by a 10 minute washout period. Followed by three concentrations of BCG including ¼ strength, ½ strength, and full strength for 2 hours. Dose escalation will take place among subsequent patients and not within each patient.

Approximately 30 subjects will be enrolled to reach the target completion enrollment of 10 subjects.

Long-term Follow-up A Chart review will be conducted every three months for 2 years after initial 6 month study data collection. Patient charts will be reviewed to assess disease progression and any data supporting findings. Long-term follow-up is necessary to determine recurrence rates and long-term safety and efficacy of Mitomycin/BCG treatment therapy as well as BCG therapy in the control group.

Study groups in NCT02311101
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Therapy Group MMC 10/BCG HalfExperimentalIntravesical 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.
Receives: Drug: Mitomycin C
Therapy Group MMC 10/BCG FullExperimentalFirst 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.
Receives: Drug: Mitomycin C
Therapy Group MMC 20/BCG FullExperimentalFirst 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.
Receives: Drug: Mitomycin C
Therapy Group MMC 40/BCG FullExperimentalFirst 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.
Receives: Drug: Mitomycin C

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)

    The primary objective of this study is to determine the MTD for sequential MMC with BCG and thereby establish a recommended phase 2 dose of the combined therapy.

    Measured: Up to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Mitomycin C in people with Urinary Bladder Neoplasm, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2015. 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 United States. 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 phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) (time frame: Up to 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02311101, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Dec 2015.
