Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C combined with en-bloc surgery works to treat high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients. It will also learn about the safety of neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C heighten the 1-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate for high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients? What medical problems do participants have when taking neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C? Researchers will compare neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C to a placebo (normal saline) to see if neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C works to treat high-risk NMIBC.

Participants will:

Take neoadjuvant intravesical instillation of mitomycin C or a placebo twice,1 day and 4 hours before en-bloc surgery Visit the clinic once every 8 weeks for checkups and tests Keep track of the recurrence and progression of the tumor.

Neoadjuvant intravesical instillation mitomycin C combined with en-bloc surgery

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mitomycin C (MMC)

Intervention Type DRUG

When administering neoadjuvant intravesical instillations, instruct the patient to lie flat on the treatment bed and cover with a waterproof pad. Disinfect the perineal area 2-3 times. Under sterile conditions, insert a catheter and drain the bladder of urine completely. Slowly instill the prepared instillation solution (mitomycin) into the bladder. If the patient experiences pain during the instillation, stop the infusion immediately, and continue when the pain subsides. If the patient still cannot tolerate it, discontinue the instillation treatment for this session. After the medication is instilled into the bladder, the catheter can be removed immediately or left in place. Instruct the patient to hold their urine for as long as possible under suitable conditions for 2 hours, and to change positions intermittently while the medication is retained in the bladder. The neoadjuvant intravesical instillation cycle is twice (one day and 4 h before en-bloc surgery)

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Intervention Type DRUG

When administering neoadjuvant intravesical instillations, instruct the patient to lie flat on the treatment bed and cover with a waterproof pad. Disinfect the perineal area 2-3 times.
