In-home Intravesical Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Bladder Cancer, INVITE Trial

Description

This phase Ib/II trial compares the safety, tolerability and acceptability of intravesical chemotherapy given at home to in-clinic administration in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Chemotherapy drugs, such as bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), gemcitabine, docetaxel, and mitomycin C, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Standard of care chemotherapy for non-invasive bladder cancer is usually given directly into the bladder through a catheter (intravesical). This process requires numerous visits and can be disruptive to the lives of patients and caregivers. Bringing cancer care to the patients with in-home intravesical therapy may help reduce the disruption to daily lives. In-home intravesical chemotherapy may be safe and tolerable and may also be preferable to in-clinic administration in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Conditions

Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Carcinoma, Stage 0a Bladder Cancer AJCC v8, Stage I Bladder Cancer AJCC v8, Stage 0is Bladder Cancer AJCC v8

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * PHASE IB ONLY: Female or male patients with histologically confirmed non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (stage Ta, Tis, or T1) who are currently receiving induction therapy with one of the following eligible intravesical treatment regimens
  • * Gemcitabine
  • * Sequential gemcitabine/docetaxel
  • * Bacillus Calmette-Guerin
  • * Mitomycin C
  • * PHASE II ONLY: Female or male patients with histologically confirmed non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (stage Ta, Tis or T1) who are receiving maintenance therapy with an eligible regimen
  • * PHASE IB ONLY: Able to be successfully catheterized and able to tolerate first dost of intravesical therapy in the outpatient clinic
  • * Residing within the area serviced by supplier network
  • * Residence either has Wi-Fi or cellular data network connection for virtual telehealth visits
  • * Age ≥ 18 years at time of registration
  • * Signed informed consent form by patient
  • * Willing and able to comply with the study protocol in the investigator's judgment
  • * Ability to complete questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance
  • * Receiving any other investigational or standard of care agent which would be considered as a treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and is not part of the eligible treatment regimens
  • * Actively receiving any other treatment for cancer (except hormone therapy for breast or prostate cancer, or treatment for non-invasive skin cancer)
  • * Requiring 24/7 assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs)
  • * Current inpatient hospitalization (excluding admission to the Advanced Care at Home program)
  • * Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens
  • * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to:
  • * Ongoing or active infection
  • * Symptomatic congestive heart failure
  • * Unstable angina pectoris
  • * Cardiac arrhythmia
  • * Myocardial infarction ≤ 6 months
