| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the toxicity for intermediate and high risk NMIBC, after complete transurethral resection of all papillary tumours, of an intravesical sequential treatment combining MMC (mitomycine c) 40mg and BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) 1/10th , 1/6th and 1/4 dose. MMC will act as an apoptosis inductor and BCG as a recruiter of immune effectors, among which DCs. We then hope to obtain, in addition to the classical response to MMC, an immune response with a presentation of TAA in association with MHC class I able to induce a specific CTL-mediated response directed against the tumour. The study is designed to evaluate the safety and severity of acute side effects of the treatment.;Secondary Objective: The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy by analysing the recurrence free survival at six month.;Primary end point(s): The study is designed to evaluate the safety and severity of acute side effects of the treatment. | — |
