Bladder Cancer Clinical Trial
Secondary Prevention Trial of Rapamycin in Patients With Resected Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
Summary
The study is a multi-site Phase 3 double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial. Subjects are randomly assigned to receive either a placebo or oral Sirolimus: 0.5 mg daily. All subjects will be treated for 2 years or until disease recurrence. Patients will undergo endoscopic evaluation of the bladder every 3 months for the first 2 years following enrollment and then every 6 months for an additional 2 years on study. Selection of BCG immune therapy is at the discretion of the treating urologist but in general is reserved for high-risk patients. Patients concurrently receiving BCG immune therapy will receive standard BCG therapy including induction (weekly for 6 weeks) and maintenance (weekly for 3 weeks at 3 months, 6 months, and then every 6 months following tumor resection).
