Brief Summary

Standard treatment for patients with high-risk NMIBC (high-grade Ta, CIS, or any T1) consists of intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy. However, BCG, even administered optimally, d...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Histologically confirmed, BCG-unresponsive, high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (according to EAU guidelines \[2\] (see table 1)) °of predominantly (\>50%) urothelial histology who were ineligible for or declined to undergo radical cystectomy.
  • Patients with carcinoma in situ with or without high-grade Ta or T1 are allowed if patients with concomitant Ta and T1 tumors have undergone complete TURBT, defined as per standard of care as a visually complete resection. A second TURBT is recommended but not required for patients with T1 tumor.
  • The most recent cystoscopy or TURBT must have been done within 12 weeks before study enrolment.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2
  • Adequate organ function (at minimum WBC \> 4.0 × 109/L; platelets \> 100 × 109/L; GFR \> 25mL/min)
  • 18 years or older
  • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hrs prior to the first day of radiation.
  • Patients of childbearing / reproductive potential should use adequate birth control measures during the study treatment period and for at least 4 weeks after the last day of radiation. A highly effective method of birth control is defined as a method which results in a low failure rate (i.e., less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly. Such methods include:
  • Combined (oestrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal)
  • Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable)
  • Intrauterine device (IUD)
  • Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)
  • Bilateral tubal occlusion
  • Vasectomized partner
  • Sexual abstinence (the reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient)
  • Before patient 's enrolment, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations.

Exclusion

  • Evidence of muscle invasive or metastatic urothelial carcinoma
  • Evidence of upper urinary tract carcinoma
  • Poor bladder function (IPSS \>16)
  • Hydronephrosis due to tumour in the presence of T1 disease
  • Patients on current systemic therapy for bladder cancer
  • Patients who have received pelvic external beam radiotherapy within the previous 5 years
  • Any known contraindications or allergies to the use of local standard of care radiosensitiser, if applicable
