Abstrakt: Purpose: Optima II ("OPTimized Instillation of Mitomycin for Bladder Cancer Treatment," clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03558503) was a phase 2b trial evaluating a nonsurgical alternative as a primary treatment for nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Patients received 6 weekly instillations of UGN-102, a mitomycin-containing reverse thermal gel. This is the first study to report on patient-reported side effects of UGN-102.
Materials and Methods: Sixty-three patients enrolled in Optima II from 20 sites. Of these 63 patients, 44 were in the cohort completing a quarterly patient-reported outcome measure assessing side effects. Changes in side effects were evaluated using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Associations of 3-month outcomes with demographic and clinical characteristics were examined with regression, controlling for baseline values. Ten of 44 patients (23%) were interviewed after the trial to understand tolerability for future patients making treatment decisions. Transcripts were double-coded using standard methods.
Results: In the patient-reported outcome measure cohort (44), 61% were men, 57% aged 65+ years and 89% were non-Hispanic White. UGN-102 did not cause decrements in patient-reported urinary symptoms, bloating/flatulence or malaise at the primary endpoint of 3 months. Sexual function mildly worsened. Future health worries improved. Demographics were not correlated with changes. Clinically, sexual function was correlated with new NMIBC and bloating/flatulence was associated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor within 12 months. In interviews, patients appreciated a nonsurgical alternative, would recommend the gel to other patients and would choose the gel over surgery.
Conclusions: A nonsurgical, chemoablative gel (UGN-102) used as a primary treatment for NMIBC offers a more patient-centered therapeutic approach than standard treatments.
