About this trial

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of mitomycin-c and gemcitabine sequential instillation in BCG unresponsive high risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

a patient over the age of 20

Patients who are willing and able to complete a written test subject consent/approval for this examination.

Histologically confirmed high-risk NMIBC (according to AUA guidelines; High-grade T1 disease, any recurrent high-grade Ta, high-grade Ta >3 cm, high-grade Ta that is multifocal, any carcinoma in situ, any BCG failure in high-grade patients, any variant histology, any lymphovascular invasion, and any high-grade prostatic urethral involvement) with prior BCG therapy.

The most recent bladder examination/TURBT must be performed within 8 weeks before the initial administration of the trial treatment. Patients with high risk NMIBC who received proper BCG treatment but did not respond to BCG

Disqualifiers

Patient diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer at TURBT

If upper urinary tract urothelial cancer is accompanied by imaging

If the imaging indicates extravesical involvement (cT3)

Imaging shows lymph node metastasis (short-axis 15mm or more) or distant metastasis

Time frame
1year
4

Overall survival in sequential treatment group.
