A Randomized Phase III Trial of Intravesical BCG veRsus Intravesical Docetaxel and GEmcitabine Treatment in BCG Naïve High Grade Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (BRIDGE)
The study hypothesis is that BCG naïve non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients treated with intravesical Gemcitabine + Docetaxel (GEMDOCE) will result in a non-inferior event-free survival (EFS) compared to standard treatment with intravesical BCG. The purpose of this study is to test whether Gemcitabine + Docetaxel is a better or worse treatment than the usual BCG therapy approach. The primary objective of this study is to determine the event free survival (EFS) of BCG-naïve high grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients treated with intravesical BCG vs Gemcitabine + Docetaxel. Secondary objectives are as follows: to compare changes in cancer-specific and bladder cancer-specific QOL from baseline to treatment between BCG-naïve high grade NMIBC patients receiving BCG and GEMDOCE, to determine the cystectomy free survival (CFS) of BCG-naïve high grade NMIBC patients treated with intravesical BCG vs GEMDOCE, to determine the progression free survival (PFS) of BCG-naïve high grade NMIBC patients treated with intravesical BCG vs GEMDOCE, and to determine the safety and toxicity of BCG-naïve high grade NMIBC patients treated with intravesical BCG vs GEMDOCE.

Inclusion Criteria:
NOTE: Patients with high grade T1 disease who undergo a restaging TURBT that shows no residual cancer in the restaging TURBT specimen are eligible.
Leukocytes ≥ 3,000/mcL Leukocytes:__________ Date of Test:__________ Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mcL ANC:__________ Date of Test:__________ Platelets ≥ 70,000/mcL Platelets:__________ Date of Test:__________ Total Bilirubin ≤ institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) Total Bilirubin:__________ Institutional ULN:_________ Date of Test:__________ AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤ 3.0 × institutional ULN AST:_______ Institutional ULN:_________ Date of Test:_______ ALT: _______Institutional ULN:_________
Exclusion Criteria:
NOTE: If a patient's renal function does not permit the administration of intravenous contrast, either a CT scan or MRI of the abdomen/pelvis without intravenous contrast is acceptable.
NOTE: Patients with a history of non-invasive (Ta, Tis) upper tract urothelial carcinoma that has been definitively treated with at least one post-treatment disease assessment (i.e., either cytology, biopsy, or imaging) that demonstrates no evidence of residual disease are eligible.
- Patient must not be pregnant or breast-feeding due to the potential harm to an unborn fetus and possible risk for adverse events in nursing infants with the treatment regimens being used.
All patients of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study within 14 days prior to randomization to rule out pregnancy.
A patient of childbearing potential is defined as anyone, regardless of sexual orientation or whether they have undergone tubal ligation, who meets the following criteria: 1) has achieved menarche at some point, 2) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 3) has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months).
Patient of child bearing potential? ______ (Yes or No) Date of blood test or urine study: ___________
