About this study
Official title: MC240502: Cancer CARE (Connected Access and Remote Expertise) Beyond Walls In-home iNtraVesIcal ThErapy (INVITE) Study - A Phase Ib/II, Single-Arm Trial of Delivering Intravesical Therapy for Bladder Cancer in Patients' Homes
This phase Ib/II trial compares the safety, tolerability and acceptability of intravesical chemotherapy given at home to in-clinic administration in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Chemotherapy drugs, such as bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), gemcitabine, docetaxel, and mitomycin C, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Standard of care chemotherapy for non-invasive bladder cancer is usually given directly into the bladder through a catheter (intravesical). This process requires numerous visits and can be disruptive to the lives of patients and caregivers. Bringing cancer care to the patients with in-home intravesical therapy may help reduce the disruption to daily lives. In-home intravesical chemotherapy may be safe and tolerable and may also be preferable to in-clinic administration in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To characterize the safety of in-home delivery of intravesical therapy. II. To assess the feasibility of in-home delivery of intravesical therapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
- To evaluate patient satisfaction with in-home intravesical therapy.
OTHER OBJECTIVES:
- To assess patient-reported function and global health status/quality of life.
II. To assess patient-reported adverse events. III. To assess home days during study period. IV. To assess patient satisfaction with in-home intravesical therapy. V. To assess unplanned interactions with urological care team. VI. To describe disease-free survival rates following intervention period.
OUTLINE:
INDUCTION (PHASE IB COHORT AND PHASE II COHORT): Patients receive BCG intravesically over 1-2 hours, gemcitabine intravesically over 1-2 hours, gemcitabine intravesically over 1 hour followed by docetaxel intravesically over 1 hour or mitomycin (mitomycin C) intravesically over 1-2 hours in the urology clinic. Treatment repeats once weekly in the home for up to 5 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
MAINTENANCE (PHASE II COHORT ONLY): Patients receive in-home BCG intravesically over 1-2 hours once weekly for 3 weeks, gemcitabine intravesically over 1-2 hours once monthly for 3 months, gemcitabine intravesically over 1 hour followed by docetaxel intravesically over 1 hour once monthly for 3 months or mitomycin C intravesically over 1-2 hours once monthly for 3 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Additionally, patients undergo cystoscopy at end of study and receive access to Cancer Care Beyond Walls (CCBW) home health visits throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 12 weeks from registration and up to 1 year after registration.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs)
The incidence, type, and severity of AEs experienced will be reported. The maximum grade for each type of AE will be summarized using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.
Measured: 12 weeks
Feasibility of in-home intravesical therapy
Feasibility will be indicated by the proportion of patients who receive at least 4 of 5 planned doses of induction therapy in the home within 12 weeks of the first dose of intravesical therapy (received in the outpatient clinic).
Measured: 12 weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
Patient-preferred treatment location
The frequency and proportion of patients who indicate a preference for in-home intravesical therapy versus a traditional setting will be assessed using the Patient Satisfaction and Feedback Questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 4 questions related to receipt of care [answered on a 5-point scale (e.g., Excellent/Very Good/Good/Fair/Poor or Very Effective/Capable and Effective/Neutral/Somewhat Effective/Needs Development)]; 1 question related to preference for treatment location; 3 questions answered with yes, no, or uncertain; 1 question related to experience (better than expected, same as expected, worse than expected); and 1 opened ended for feedback as to what could have improved the experience.
Measured: Up to 1 year
Patient-reported likelihood to recommend at home therapy
Will be assessed using the Patient Satisfaction and Feedback Questionnaire. The frequency and proportion of patients who would recommend in-home intravesical therapy to other patients will be reported. The questionnaire consists of 4 questions related to receipt of care [answered on a 5-point scale (e.g., Excellent/Very Good/Good/Fair/Poor or Very Effective/Capable and Effective/Neutral/Somewhat Effective/Needs Development)]; 1 question related to preference for treatment location; 3 questions related to acceptability and likely recommendation answered with yes, no, or uncertain; 1 question related to experience (better than expected, same as expected, worse than expected); and 1 opened ended for feedback as to what could have improved the experience.
Measured: Up to 1 year
