Brief Summary:
This is a phase II randomized controlled clinical trial comparing standard induction BCG versus bicalutamide and standard induction BCG among patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Drug: Bicalutamide Biological: Control Arm Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Bladder cancer is the second most common urological cancer after prostate cancer. Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NIMBC) is the most common form (~ 75%). The standard treatment involves the use of intravesical instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Nonetheless, 30-40% of the patients still relapse or progress. Clinical and laboratory research suggests that medications targeting the androgen receptor, such as bicalutamide, combined with the standard treatment with BCG may decrease the recurrence rate of NMIBC.

The participants will be randomized to either the treatment with 1) daily intake of 150 mg bicalutamide for 3 months overlapping with the 6 cycles of intravesical instillations of BCG or 2) the standard of care of 6 cycles of intravesical instillation BCG . The participation to this this trial should last 36 months from the screening visit to the last follow-up visit.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rate of bladder tumour recurrence [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    To time to bladder tumor recurrence compared to the standard of care induction BCG


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of tumour progression [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    To compare the incidence of tumor progression between the intervention and control arms

  2. Number of tumor recurrences [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    To compare the overall incidence of tumor recurrences between intervention and control arms

  3. Number of tumours at first recurrence [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Evaluation of the number of tumours at first recurrence between the two arms

  4. Quality of life (QLQ-C30) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Evaluation of quality of life with QLQ-C30 questionnaire (EORTC Core Quality of Life questionnaire). The scale scores range from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale represents a high level of functioning, whereas a high score for a symptom scale/single item represents a high level of symptom

  5. Evaluation of urinary symptoms [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Evaluation of urinary symptoms with International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) . questionnaire. The total score can range from 0 to 35 (0 being asymptomatic and 35 being very symptomatic).
