Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the HIVEC II trial is to find out if the combination of the new technology called hyperthermia (the use of heat) and a drug called mitomycin is more effective than mitomycin alone which is the standard treatment for bladder cancer in reducing the chances of bladder cancer returning.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The concept of hyperthermia plus MM has been demonstrated and a phase II randomized controlled trial of ablative HM versus MM using an alternative device (Synergo) has reported tumor ablation complete response (CR) rates in 66 % of tumors treated with hyperthermia plus mitomycin compared to 22% CR for MM mono-therapy.

Registered patients will be randomised to receive either Hyperthermia and Mitomycin or Mitomycin alone. Following treatment, patients will be followed up by surveillance cystoscopy for 24 months for disease recurrence. In the first year, the follow up visits will be every 3 months from the date of start of treatment and in the second year, the visits will be every 6 months.

The study also includes translational components to determine biomarkers of response to Heated Mitomycin. Urine samples will be collected prior to surveillance cystoscopies.

This study will address the problem of how to improve the disease free survival in patients with intermediate-risk NMIBC, the treatment must have acceptable side-effects, low toxicity, and show a significant benefit over MM alone.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Mitomycin

Patients will receive six consecutive weekly instillations of Mitomycin followed by surveillance

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Hyperthermia+Mitomycin

Patients will receive 6 weekly instillations of hyperthermia plus Mitomycin (HIVEC) using the COMBAT system, followed by surveillance cystoscopy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hyperthermia will be delivered in combination with each instillation using the Combat BRS system

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Combat BRS system is a temperature controlled fluid recirculation system for the delivery of hyperthermic intravesical chemotherapy. The chemotherapy fluid is circulated in a closed system and warmed by an external isolated dry system using a novel innovative laminated aluminium foil heat exchanger with a small priming volume.
