In the proposed study the investigators aim to evaluate the effect of the standard of care dose (40mg) of MMC mixed with TC-3 gel (with sustained release mechanism on the drug) on low risk recurrent NMIBC lesions and to compare our findings to instillation with the standard mode of instillation- 40mg MMC in water in order to examine our hypothesis that MMC mixed with TC-3 gel will have at least non-inferior and even superior results over the standard instillation mode
The investigators believe that this study is of importance of several aspects:
Non-muscle-Invasive Bladder cancer is mainly treated by tumor resection (Trans Urethral Resection - TUR), followed by series of intravesical instillations of prophylactic chemotherapeutic drugs as Mitomycin C (MMC) or BCG. This treatment approach is limited due to rapid dilution the chemotheraputic drug by the incoming urine and clearance by urination.
TheraCoat core technology is based on a reverse thermal biodegradable gel (TC-3) (low viscosity at 5°C gel appearance at body temperature)for drug retention in the urinary bladder.
Prior to instillation, the TC-3 hydrogel, in a liquid state, is mixed with MMC.TC-3 mixed with MMC is instilled to the bladder by a catheter. Following gel insertion to the bladder, the gel solidifies and forms a drug reservoir inside the bladder. Upon contact with urine the gel dissolves and is cleared out from the bladder.
Intravesical MMC instillation using TheraCoat gel is expected to increase treatment efficiency due to prolongation of treatment duration and consequently improving bladder exposure to MMC.
Treatment Protocol - Immediately following baseline cystoscopy and tumor diagnosis and patient undergoes 6 weekly instillations followed by 2-4 weeks healing period.
1st Follow-Up Visit (Pre-Scheduled TURBT Visit): The patient will undergo a second Cystoscopy to compare to the Baseline status and after that a follow-up period: 3,6,9,12 months.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| ablative effect of pre-TURBT intravesical instillations of the treatments on The bladder lesion(s) of NMIBC patients | Cystoscopic and pathological effect (evaluated during TUR-BT visit) of pre-TURBT intravesical instillations with 40 mg of MMC mixed with 60cc TC-3 Hydrogel on bladder lesion(s) of NMIBC patients. At To, which is the time of identification of a recurrent tumor by cystoscopy, the number, size and location of the lesions will be documented and photographed. Each tumor size will be evaluated by photographing a ureter catheter adjacent to the tumor. Since the ureter catheter diameter is a pre-known variable, the tumor diameter can be calculated using specific software developed for study purposes. Photography of the tumor with a pre-known diameter ureter catheter will be performed during the same cystoscopy as described above and will be evaluated by a central clinic for uniformity of measurements, and the results of these measurements will serve for the post study evaluation of the change in tumor diameter | 2 years |
| Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability rate. | Demonstration of Pre-TURBT TC-3 gel-MMC instillation safety and adverse event rate.Adverse events will be defined as any adverse change in health or side effect that occurs in the clinical trial participant while the patient is receiving the treatment or until the completion of the post-treatment follow-up cystoscopy. | 2 years |
