Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of a neoadjuvant, short-term, intensive intravesical chemoresection with Mitomycin C compared to standard treatment with TURB and adjuvant intravesical instillation therapy. We hypothesize that the chemoresection induced in the short-term, intensive intravesical instillation with Mitomycin C will result in a permanent low recurrence rate in patients with NMIBC, not significantly different from patients treated with TURB and standard adjuvant instillation therapy. We also hypothesize that a reduction in number of TURBs will be seen in the intervention group based on avoidance of TURBs in patients with complete chemoresection by the short-term, intensive intravesical instillations. ;Secondary Objective: Primary endpoint: Number of patients in need for a reansurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) or tumour fulguration in the first 2 years following randomization. Secondary endpoints: - Adverse events related to Mitomycin C treatment during neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy - Composition of biomarkers of 650 cancer-associated genes in order to predict tumour respons;Primary end point(s): Number of patients in need for a reansurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) or tumour fulguration in the first 2 years following randomization. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 36 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Adverse events related to Mitomycin C treatment during neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy - Composition of biomarkers of 650 cancer-associated genes in order to predict tumour respons - Number of patients in need of a TURB or tumour fulguration in the outpatient clinic in the first 5 years following randomization - 2-year recurrence free survival – not including the primary TURB in the control arm and TURB because of incomplete chemoresection in the intervention arm - 5-year recurrence free survival – not including the primary TURB in the control arm and TURB because of incomplete chemoresection in the intervention arm - Number of tumours at first recurrence based on the following intervals: 1, 2-7, > 8 - Number of TURBs per patient in the first 2 and 5 years of follow-up based on the following intervals: 1, 2-5, 5-10 and multiple - 5-year progression free survival (progression defined as progression to T1-tumour, T2+-tumour, or cystectomy irrespectively of indication) - 5-year overall survival - Fraction of patients completing assigned intervention - Gene expression-signatures of tumours before and after Mitomycin C treatment - Composition of immune cell infiltrates of tumours before and after Mitomycin C treatment ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 36 months | — |
