Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of Neoadjuvant Intravesical Instillation of Mitomycin C Combined with En-bloc Surgery in Treating High-risk Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) Patients

Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of Neoadjuvant Intravesical Instillation of Mitomycin C in Treating High-risk NMIBC Patients (NCT06696794) is a Phase 3 interventional studying Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC), sponsored by Shaogang Wang. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C combined with en-bloc surgery works to treat high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients. It will also learn about the safety of neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C heighten the 1-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate for high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients? What medical problems do participants have when taking neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C? Researchers will compare neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C to a placebo (normal saline) to see if neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C works to treat high-risk NMIBC. Participants will: Take neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C or a placebo twice,1 day and 4 hours before en-bloc surgery Visit the clinic once every 8 weeks for checkups and tests Keep track of the recurrence and progression of the tumor.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 3 trials confirm efficacy and safety in large patient groups (often 300–3,000+) and form the evidence base for an FDA approval submission. For Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC), Phase 3 studies typically randomize participants between the investigational treatment and either a placebo or current standard of care. A successful Phase 3 result is the threshold most treatments need to clear before regulatory approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 180 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Treatments Being Tested

DRUG

Mitomycin C (MMC)

When administering neoadjuvant intravesical instillations, instruct the patient to lie flat on the treatment bed and cover with a waterproof pad. Disinfect the perineal area 2-3 times. Under sterile conditions, insert a catheter and drain the bladder of urine completely. Slowly instill the prepared instillation solution (mitomycin) into the bladder. If the patient experiences pain during the instillation, stop the infusion immediately, and continue when the pain subsides. If the patient still cannot tolerate it, discontinue the instillation treatment for this session. After the medication is instilled into the bladder, the catheter can be removed immediately or left in place. Instruct the patient to hold their urine for as long as possible under suitable conditions for 2 hours, and to change positions intermittently while the medication is retained in the bladder. The neoadjuvant intravesical instillation cycle is twice (one day and 4 h before en-bloc surgery)

How do I contact the trial site for NCT06696794?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
