About this study

Official title: Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of Neoadjuvant Intravesical Instillation of Mitomycin C Combined with En-bloc Surgery in Treating High-risk Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C combined with en-bloc surgery works to treat high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients. It will also learn about the safety of neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C heighten the 1-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate for high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients? What medical problems do participants have when taking neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C? Researchers will compare neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C to a placebo (normal saline) to see if neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C works to treat high-risk NMIBC.

Participants will:

Take neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C or a placebo twice,1 day and 4 hours before en-bloc surgery Visit the clinic once every 8 weeks for checkups and tests Keep track of the recurrence and progression of the tumor.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Mitomycin C (MMC)Drug

    When administering neoadjuvant intravesical instillations, instruct the patient to lie flat on the treatment bed and cover with a waterproof pad. Disinfect the perineal area 2-3 times. Under sterile conditions, insert a catheter and drain the bladder of urine completely. Slowly instill the prepared instillation solution (mitomycin) into the bladder. If the patient experiences pain during the instillation, stop the infusion immediately, and continue when the pain subsides. If the patient still cannot tolerate it, discontinue the instillation treatment for this session. After the medication is instilled into the bladder, the catheter can be removed immediately or left in place. Instruct the patient to hold their urine for as long as possible under suitable conditions for 2 hours, and to change positions intermittently while the medication is retained in the bladder. The neoadjuvant intravesical instillation cycle is twice (one day and 4 h before en-bloc surgery)

What is being measured

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

  1. 1-year recurrence-free survival rate

    The one-year recurrence-free survival rate, as assessed by researchers, is defined as the proportion of patients who are free of tumor recurrence at one year after randomization. Recurrence is defined as any pathological level of urothelial carcinoma confirmed by cystoscopy and biopsy during the one-year follow-up period starting from the time of randomization.

    Measured: One year after randomization

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression free survival

    This was determined by cystoscopy and pathology every eight weeks for one year and telephone follow-up every one year after one year until tumor progression and patient death from any cause, or five years after the end of the study. Defined as the time between the start of randomization and progression of disease or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Disease progression was defined as an increase in bladder tumors from Ta/T1 to T1/ T2 or larger, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis, or an increase in tumor grade from low to high.

    Measured: Every eight weeks for one year and telephone follow-up every one year after one year until tumor progression and patient death from any cause, or five years after the end of the study.

  2. overall survival

    Telephone follow-up was conducted every 1 year after the start of randomization until death from any cause or 5 years after the end of the study.

    Measured: up to 5 years after the end of the study.

  3. Health-related quality of life

    The health-related quality of life of the patients was assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30

    Measured: up to One year after discharge

  4. Adverse event

    Adverse events were coded using the International Dictionary of Medical Terms (MedDRA), and adverse events (TEAE) during treatment were aggregated by Systematic Organ Classification (SOC), Preferred term (PT), and NCI-CTCAE grading. The number, frequency and incidence of adverse events and drug-related adverse events of all subjects were counted. Make a list of adverse events. This is determined by interview, physical examination, as well as the patient's vital signs and laboratory tests.

    Measured: up to Eight weeks after discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Mitomycin C (MMC) in people with Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC), run by Shaogang Wang at 3 sites in China.

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 9 inclusion and 18 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Yang Xun, Doctor of Medicine (+86-27-83663460, tjxyang1993@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

1-year recurrence-free survival rate (time frame: One year after randomization). 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 19 Feb 2025.
