Guiding Instillation in Non Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer Based on Drug Screens in Patient Derived Organoids

Guidance of Adjuvant Instillation in Intermediate Risk Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer by Drug Screens in Patient Derived Organoids. A Single Center, Open-label, Phase II Trial With a Feasibility Endpoint. (GAIN-INST-TRIAL)


Sponsor

Roland Seiler-Blarer

Enrollment

34 participants

Start Date

Feb 21, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

From patients with intermediate risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer tumor (NMIBC) specimens will be harvested during transurethral resection. Fresh specimens will be cultured as patient derived organoids (PDO). After approx. 10 days, PDO are exposed to different drugs that are used as intravesical instillation agents in these patients (epirubicin, mitomycin, gemcitabine, docetaxel). After 2 days of exposure, PDO viability will be measured. The drug with the highest antitumor effect on PDO will be applied as weekly intravesical instillations 6 times. Thereafter, patients are followed according to the standard of care.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a new approach for treating early-stage bladder cancer that hasn't grown into the muscle wall. Instead of giving everyone the same bladder medication, researchers use a sample of each patient's actual tumor to figure out which drug works best for that specific person before treatment begins. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have been diagnosed with a low-grade, non-invasive bladder tumor (stage pTa) - You are in generally good health and able to perform daily activities - You are able to provide a fresh tumor sample **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have previously had a high-grade or high-risk bladder cancer - You have previously received BCG (a bladder immune therapy) - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have a serious uncontrolled illness - You have a recent severe infection (within the last 4 weeks) - You have problems with bladder function or catheter use Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DRUGEpirubicin

In PDOs from patients that show highest response to Epirubicin, this drug will be instilled intravesically once weekly for 6 times. Epirubicin is also the default drug, in case of failure of drug prediction in the in-vitro drug screen in PDO. Epirubicin will be used as a concentrate for injection/instillation 2 mg/ml in total 50mg per vial. Prior to use, the concentrate for injection is diluted with 25ml of 0.9% saline solution to obtain the final Solution with 1mg/ml of Epirubicin.

DRUGMitomycin

In PDOs from patients that show highest response to Mitomycin, this drug will be instilled intravesically once weekly for 6 times. Mitomycin C will be used as 20mg dry powder. Prior to use, the powder will be dissolved in 50ml of 0.9% saline solution according to the manufacturer instructions

DRUGGemcitabine

In PDOs from patients that show highest response to Gemcitabine, this drug will be instilled intravesically once weekly for 6 times. Gemcitabine will be used as 2000 mg/50ml. For intravesical application, 1000mg of gemcitabine (corresponding to 25ml) will be diluted in 25ml 0.9% saline solution, to obtain the gemcitabine concentration of 1000mg/50ml used for instillation.

DRUGDocetaxel

In PDOs from patients that show highest response to Docetaxel, this drug will be instilled intravesically once weekly for 6 times. Docetaxel will be used as 140mg/7ml solution. For intravesical application, 48.825ml of saline will be added to 1.875ml Docetaxel solution (according 37.5mg of Docetaxel). The concentration of this solution is 0.74mg/ml by a total volume of the instillation solution of 50,7.
