Study Details

Study Description

Brief 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).

Active Comparator: Sirolimus (Rapamycin) 0.5 mg/day for 2 years

Subject will be randomized to take Sirolimus (Rapamycin) 0.5mg once daily for 2 years or until disease recurrence

Drug: Rapamycin
Subject will be randomized to one of the 2 arms
Other Names:
  • Sirolimus
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Test the hypothesis that rapamycin 0.5 mg daily increases recurrence-free survival for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer [Patients are treated for 2 years or until disease relapse]

      Recurrence is defined as histologically-proven bladder cancer (stage CIS, Ta, T1 or ≥T2)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. To determine effects of rapamycin on recurrence-free survival (RFS) for subgroup of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer concurrently receiving BCG immune therapy. [Patients are treated for 2 years or until disease relapse]

      Recurrence is defined as histologically-proven bladder cancer (stage CIS, Ta, T1 or ≥T2)

    2. To compare the effects of rapamycin on BCG-specific immunity during treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with maintenance BCG. [baseline and 6 months after registration]

      BCG antigen-specific IFN-gamma ELISPOT responses will be measured
