Continuous saline bladder irrigation for two hours following transurethral resection of bladder tumors in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer does not prevent recurrence or progression compared with intravesical Mitomycin-C.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Intravesical Mitomycin-C (MMC) following transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), while efficacious, is associated with side effects and poor utilization. Continuous saline bladder irrigation (CSBI) has been examined as an alternative. In this study we sought to compare the rates of recurrence and/or progression in patients with NMIBC who were treated with either MMC or CSBI after TURBT. METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed records of patients with NMIBC at our institution in 2012-2015. Perioperative use of MMC (40 mg in 20 mL), CSBI (two hours), or neither were recorded. Primary outcome was time to recurrence or progression. Descriptive statistics, chi-squared analysis, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and Cox multivariable regression analyses were performed. RESULTS:205 patients met inclusion criteria. Forty-five (22.0%) patients received CSBI, 71 (34.6%) received MMC, and 89 (43.4%) received no perioperative therapy. On survival analysis, MMC was associated with improved DFS compared with CSBI (p?=?0.001) and no treatment (p?=?0.0009). On multivariable analysis, high risk disease was associated with increased risk of recurrence or progression (HR 2.77, 95% CI: 1.28-6.01), whereas adjuvant therapy (HR 0.35, 95% CI: 0.20-0.59) and MMC (HR 0.43, 95% CI: 0.25-0.75) were associated with decreased risk. CONCLUSIONS:Postoperative MMC was associated with improved DFS compared with CSBI and no treatment. The DFS benefit seen with CSBI in other studies may be limited to patients receiving prolonged irrigation. New intravesical agents being evaluated may consider saline as a control given our data demonstrating that short-term CSBI is not superior to TURBT alone.

Project description:PurposePrior reports suggest that renin-angiotensin system inhibition may decrease nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer recurrence. We evaluated whether angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker treatment at initial surgery was associated with decreased recurrence or progression in patients with nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer.Materials and methodsUsing an institutional bladder cancer database we identified 340 patients with data available on initial transurethral resection of bladder tumor. Progression was defined as an increase to stage T2. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate associations with recurrence-free and progression-free survival.ResultsMedian patient age was 69.6 years. During a median followup of 3 years (IQR 1.3-6.1) 200 patients (59%) had recurrence and 14 (4.1%) had stage progression. Of those patients 143 were receiving angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blockers at the time of the first transurethral resection. On univariate analysis factors associated with improved recurrence-free survival included carcinoma in situ (p = 0.040), bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy (p = 0.003) and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker therapy (p = 0.009). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that patients treated with bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.47-0.87, p = 0.002) or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker therapy (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.45-0.84, p = 0.005) were less likely to experience tumor recurrence. The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate was 45.6% for patients treated with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blockers and 28.1% in those not treated with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blockers (p = 0.009). Subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer pathology (Ta, T1 and carcinoma in situ) in 85 patients on bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy alone and in 52 in whom it was combined with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker. Multivariate analysis revealed that patients treated with bacillus Calmette-Guérin alone (HR 2.19, 95% CI 1.01-4.77, p = 0.04) showed worse recurrence-free survival compared to patients treated with bacillus Calmette-Guérin and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker (stage Ta HR 0.45, 95% CI 0.21-0.98, p = 0.04).ConclusionsPharmacological inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system is associated with improved outcomes in patients with bladder cancer. Renin-angiotensin system inhibitor administration in nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer cases should be studied in a prospective randomized trial.

Project description:BackgroundRetrospective analysis of Center effect of the multi-center trial conducted to compare Immucothel (KLH Immunotherapy drug product) with Mytomycin-C (MM) concluded that efficacy evaluation of the drug product may be impacted by physician's subjective performance of Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).MethodsA randomized trial was performed in 18 hospitals (clinical centers) and a total of 553 recruited, 283 patients under KLH arm and 270 patients under MM. An initial statistical analysis of efficacy comparisons between KLH and MM based on log-rank test performed for each center (hospital) showed 6 hospitals out of 18 hospitals a p-value of <0.05 and remaining 12 hospitals showed a p-values of >0.05. No association was observed between number of patients analysed and the associated p-values across hospitals. Final statistical analyses were carried out under each drug product using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis along with log-rank test after combining all eligible patients data for 6 hospital group and 12 hospital group.ResultsMedian recurrence free survival (RFS) times (in weeks) showed statistical significance (p-value = 0.03) between two groups of hospitals under KLH arm, while similar median values showed no statistical significance (p-value = 0.05).ConclusionCenter effect with respect to median RFS values under KLH was more pronounced than under MM. Under the presence of such center effect, for reasons other than product related effects, concluding superiority of one drug product over another may create confounding bias conclusions in multi-center clinical trials. In the above cited clinical trial study, physician's prior experience on TURBT might have contributed to center effect in examining efficacies of KLH and MM. Similar observation was also noted in the literature on studies dealing with TURBT and in other clinical studies.Trial registrationData set used in this study is based on previously documented clinical trial in the literature: See (Lammers et al., J Clin Oncol 30:2273-9, 2012) and Acknowledgments.

Project description:Importance:Low-grade non-muscle-invasive urothelial cancer frequently recurs after excision by transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Objective:To determine whether immediate post-TURBT intravesical instillation of gemcitabine reduces recurrence of suspected low-grade non-muscle-invasive urothelial cancer compared with saline. Design, Setting, and Participants:Randomized double-blind clinical trial conducted at 23 US centers. Patients with suspected low-grade non-muscle-invasive urothelial cancer based on cystoscopic appearance without any high-grade or without more than 2 low-grade urothelial cancer episodes within 18 months before index TURBT were enrolled between January 23, 2008, and August 14, 2012, and followed up every 3 months with cystoscopy and cytology for 2 years and then semiannually for 2 years. Patients were monitored for tumor recurrence, progression to muscle invasion, survival, and toxic effects. The final date of follow-up was August 14, 2016. Interventions:Participants were randomly assigned to receive intravesical instillation of gemcitabine (2 g in 100 mL of saline) (n = 201) or saline (100 mL) (n = 205) for 1 hour immediately following TURBT. Main Outcomes and Measures:The primary outcome was time to recurrence of cancer. Secondary end points were time to muscle invasion and death due to any cause. Results:Among 406 randomized eligible patients (median age, 66 years; 84.7% men), 383 completed the trial. In the intention-to-treat analysis, 67 of 201 patients (4-year estimate, 35%) in the gemcitabine group and 91 of 205 patients (4-year estimate, 47%) in the saline group had cancer recurrence within 4.0 years (hazard ratio, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.48-0.90; P<.001 by 1-sided log-rank test for time to recurrence). Among the 215 patients with low-grade non-muscle-invasive urothelial cancer who underwent TURBT and drug instillation, 34 of 102 patients (4-year estimate, 34%) in the gemcitabine group and 59 of 113 patients (4-year estimate, 54%) in the saline group had cancer recurrence (hazard ratio, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.35-0.81; P = .001 by 1-sided log-rank test for time to recurrence). Fifteen patients had tumors that progressed to muscle invasion (5 in the gemcitabine group and 10 in the saline group; P = .22 by 1-sided log-rank test) and 42 died of any cause (17 in the gemcitabine group and 25 in the saline group; P = .12 by 1-sided log-rank test). There were no grade 4 or 5 adverse events and no significant differences in adverse events of grade 3 or lower. Conclusions and Relevance:Among patients with suspected low-grade non-muscle-invasive urothelial cancer, immediate postresection intravesical instillation of gemcitabine, compared with instillation of saline, significantly reduced the risk of recurrence over a median of 4.0 years. These findings support using this therapy, but further research is needed to compare gemcitabine with other intravesical agents. Trial Registration:clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00445601.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess whether single immediate intravesical chemotherapy (SIIC) adds value to bladder tumour management in combination with novel optical techniques: enhanced transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT).MethodsA systematic search was performed using the PubMed and Web of Science databases in September 2020 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) extension statement for network meta-analyses. Studies that compared recurrence rates among intervention groups (TURBT with photodynamic diagnosis [PDD] ± SIIC, narrow-band imaging [NBI] ± SIIC, or white-light cystoscopy [WLC] + SIIC) and a control group (TURBT with WLC alone) were included. We used the Bayesian approach in the network meta-analysis.ResultsTwenty-two studies (n = 4519) met our eligibility criteria. Out of six different interventions including three different optical techniques, compared to WLC alone, blue-light cystoscopy (BLC) plus SIIC (odds ratio [OR] 0.349, 95% credible interval [CrI] 0.196-0.601) and BLC alone (OR 0.668, 95% CrI 0.459-0.931) were associated with a significantly lower likelihood of 12-month recurrence rate. In the sensitivity analysis, out of eight different interventions compared to WLC alone, PDD by 5-aminolevulinic acid plus SIIC (OR 0.327, 95% CrI 0.159-0.646) and by hexaminolevulinic acid plus SIIC (OR 0.376, 95% CrI 0.172-0.783) were both associated with a significantly lower likelihood of 12-month recurrence rate. NBI with and without SIIC was not associated with a significantly lower likelihood of 12-month recurrence rate (OR 0.385, 95% CrI 0.105-1.29 and OR 0.653, 95% CrI 0.343-1.15).ConclusionBlue-light cystoscopy during TURBT with concomitant SIIC seems to yield superior recurrence outcomes in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The use of PDD was able to reduce the 12-month recurrence rate; moreover, concomitant SIIC increased this risk benefit by a 32% additional reduction in odds ratio. Although using PDD could reduce the recurrence rate, SIIC remains necessary. Moreover, ranking analysis showed that both PDD and NBI, plus SIIC, were better than these techniques alone.
