Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - Bacillus of Calmette-Guerin (BCG)
Treatment: Drugs - Mitomycin (MM)

Experimental: Treatment (Arm B):Intravesical BCG + MM - Induction (weekly x 9); and followed by Maintenance (monthly x 9) beginning 3 months after randomisation.

Dosage of Bacillus of Calmette-Guerin (BCG) dependent on preferred brand of BCG by participating institution. Either 2-8 x 10\^8 CFU for OncoTICE or, 81mg for ImmuCYST and TheraCys. Prior to treatment commencement, investigators should nominate which BCG brand will be used. The same brand of BCG must be used for all treatment administered to an individual participant throughout the study.

Dosage of Mitomycin (MM) fixed at 40mg per instillation.

Other: Treatment (Arm A): Intravesical BCG - Induction (weekly x 6); and followed by Maintenance (monthly x 10) beginning 3 months after randomisation.

Dosage of Bacillus of Calmette-Guerin (BCG) dependent on preferred brand of BCG by participating institution. Either 2-8 x 10\^8 CFU for OncoTICE or, 81mg for ImmuCYST and TheraCys. Prior to treatment commencement, investigators should nominate which BCG brand will be used. The same brand of BCG must be used for all treatment administered to an individual participant throughout the study.


Treatment: Other: Bacillus of Calmette-Guerin (BCG)
A strain of tubercle bacillus which modifies biologic response.

Treatment: Drugs: Mitomycin (MM)
An antibiotic produced by a soil actinomycete which inhibits DNA synthesis.

This may be either the initial Transurethral Resection of the Bladder Tumour (TURBT) at which the primary tumour was completely resected, or a planned second cystoscopy and/or re-resection done within 8 weeks of the initial TURBT.
4. ECOG Performance Status of 0-2
5. Adequate bone marrow, renal and liver function confirmed by pre-randomisation blood tests.
6. Study treatment both planned and able to start within 4 weeks of randomisation
7. Has completed the HRQL questionnaires or is unable to complete them because of literacy, insufficient English or limited vision
8. Willing and able to comply with all study requirements, including treatment, timing and/or nature of all required assessments
9. Signed, written informed consent

Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria

3. Current or past transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the upper urinary tract
4. Prior muscle-invasive (stage T2 or higher) transitional-cell carcinoma of the bladder
5. Bladder dysfunction precluding intravesical therapy eg. Severe urinary incontinence or overactive or spastic bladder

7. Congenital or acquired immune deficiencies, whether due to a concurrent disease (e.g. acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), leukaemia, lymphoma) or immunosuppressive therapy (e.g. corticosteroids), or cancer therapy (cytotoxic drugs, radiation)
8. Prior radiotherapy of the pelvis
9. Prior or current treatment with radiotherapy-response or biological-response modifiers
10. Clinical evidence of existing active tuberculosis
11. History of another malignancy within 5 years prior to registration. Patients with non-melanomatous carcinoma of the skin are eligible for this study.
