The investigartors will conduct a randomized, multinational study with the aim to assess if the efficacy of a dose dense chemoablation with Mitomycin C (MMC) with adjuvant BCG in non-responding patients is superior regarding long term effect compared to standard treatment with trans urethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) and adjuvant intravesical instillation therapy in patients with recurrent Ta LG tumors.
The study is a natural follow-up study following the pivotal NICSA trial supported by the Danish Cancer Society that has lead to the initial change in the European guidelines. In order to not only be comparable to current standard, but also to improve clinical outcome and furthermore confirm the previous findings, the investigators here suggest to implement at patient tailored approach through a new multicenter RCT.
The investigators hypothesize that chemoablation with MMC in patients with recurrent Ta LG tumors will result in a permanent low recurrence rate in patients with complete response, whereas patients without complete response can be selected for adjuvant BCG which theoretically is more efficient in this select patient group. This will potentially result in a more favorable long term recurrence free survival (RFS) rate compared to the current standard regimen where all patients are treated with TURBT and adjuvant instillation therapy.
The incidence of bladder cancer in Denmark is almost 2,000 per year. Of these, 75% have non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The yearly recurrence rate of NMIBC is approximately 35% and the disease is therefore one of the most costly cancers to manage on a per patient basis, due to the cost of operative procedures, follow-up cystoscopies and instillation therapies

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chemoablation | Experimental | Patients will undergo dose dense chemoablation with MMC three times per week for two weeks (six instillations in total) followed by flexible cystoscopy eight weeks later. If no tumour can be identified (complete response), patients will receive monthly MMC maintenance instillations for 6 months (six instillations in total) and then continue in the outpatient follow-up programme, according to European guidelines. If tumour regression is observed without complete response or there is no response, a TURBT or outpatient biopsy and tumour fulguration will be performed followed by adjuvant BCG with induction therapy and 1 year maintenance (6 weekly instillations as induction followed by 3 weekly instillations as maintenance at 3, 6, and 12 months or 4, 8 and 12 months as is standard for site ). |
|
| Control | No Intervention | Patients will have TURBT or outpatient biopsy and tumour fulguration performed, followed by standard intravesical instillation therapy according to tumour histology: MMC once a week for six weeks with a monthly maintenance instillation for six months in low-grade tumours. For high-grade tumours BCG will be utilised once a week for six weeks followed by 1-year maintenance consisting of one weekly instillation for three weeks after 3, 6, and 12 months or 4, 8 and 12 months as is standard for site. |
