Brief Summary
This is a phase 3 randomized, active-controlled, open-label, multicenter study that will be conducted in approximately 120 investigational sites worldwide. Subjects with either recurrent or refractory NMIBC (Ta high grade, T1 low or high grade, CIS) will be eligible for participation in this study. Refractory disease is defined as evidence of persistent high grade bladder cancer (Ta HG, T1, and/or CIS) at least 6 months from the start of a full induction course of BCG with or without maintenance/re-treatment at 3 months. Recurrent disease is defined as reappearance of disease after achieving a tumor-free status by 6 months following a full induction course of BCG with or without maintenance/re-treatment at 3 months. Subjects with recurrent disease must have recurred within 18 months following the last dose of BCG. Approximately 450 subjects will be randomized. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravesical EN3348 as compared with mitomycin C in the treatment of subjects with recurrent or refractory NMIBC. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of EN3348 as compared with mitomycin C in the treatment of subjects with BCG recurrent or refractory NMIBC. This study will consist of 4 phases: Screening, Induction, Maintenance and Follow-Up and will be conducted over 3 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Comparison of Event-free Survival of Intravesical EN3348 With Mitomycin C.
Primary efficacy endpoint will be event-free survival - the interval from randomization to an event. An event is defined as tumor recurrence, tumor progression to muscle invasive bladder cancer or death, whichever occurs first. Tumor recurrence or progression must be documented by bladder biopsy.
1 year
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Comparison of Safety of EN3348 With Mitomycin C [Adverse Events (Other Than Serious Adverse Events) With Frequency Threshold of 5% or Greater].
Through study early termination, approximately 23 months from first subject enrolled.
Study Arms (2)
EN3348
EXPERIMENTAL8 mg mixed with sterile water for injection for a total volume of 50mL
Mitomycin C
ACTIVE COMPARATOR40 mg powder will be reconstituted with sterile water for injection to a total volume of 40 mL
Interventions
Induction: 6 weekly instillations. Maintenance: Monthly instillations to Month 12
Induction: 6 weekly instillations. Maintenance: Monthly instillations to Month 12
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Is 18 years of age and older at time of consent signing
- Have either BCG recurrent or refractory NMIBC:
- Refractory disease is defined as evidence of persistent high grade bladder cancer (Ta HG, T1 and/or CIS) at least 6 months from the start of a full induction course of BCG with or without maintenance/re-treatment at 3 months
- Recurrent disease is defined as reappearance of disease after achieving a tumor-free status by 6 months following a full induction course of BCG with or without maintenance/re-treatment at 3 months. Subjects with recurrent disease must have recurred within 18 months following the last dose of BCG
- A full induction course of BCG is defined as at least 5 out of 6 total expected instillations of BCG within a period of 2 months, regardless of dose strength
- Have histologically confirmed NMIBC (according to 2004 WHO classification) within 8 weeks prior to randomization
- High grade Ta papillary lesion(s)
- High or low grade T1 papillary lesion(s)(biopsy sample must include evidence of muscularis propria)
- CIS, with or without Ta or T1 papillary tumor(s) of any grade
- Have had all visible papillary and resectable CIS lesion(s) removed by TURBT within 8 weeks prior to randomization
- Available for the duration of the study including follow-up (approximately 36 months)
- Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade of 2 or less
- Have no evidence of urothelial carcinoma involving the upper urinary tract or the urethra (confirmed by extravesical work up, which may include radiological imaging and/or biopsy) within 6 months of randomization:
- If previous work up occurred more than 6 months from randomization, extravesical work up must be repeated prior to randomization in order to determine eligibility
- Subjects (male and female) of child-bearing potential (including female subjects who are post-menopausal for less than 1 year) must be willing to practice effective contraception (as defined by the Investigator) during the study and be willing and able to continue contraception for 30 days after their last dose of study treatment
- +1 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Current or previous history of muscle invasive bladder tumors
- Current or previous history of lymph node positive and/or metastatic bladder cancer
- Current evidence of pure squamous cell carcinoma, pure adenocarcinoma or pure undifferentiated carcinoma of the bladder
- Currently receiving systemic cancer therapy (cytotoxic/cytostatic or immunotherapy)
- Currently receiving treatment with a prohibited therapy
- Current or prior history of systemic lupus erythematosus
- Systemic immunotherapy within 6 months of randomization
- Treatment with an investigational agent within 30 days or 5 half lives from randomization, whichever is longer
- Prior treatment with an intravesical chemotherapeutic agent within 3 months of randomization except for single perioperative dose of chemotherapy immediately post-TURBT
- Prior treatment with EN3348 (MCC) or any other mycobacterial cell wall composition or formulation
- Refractory to mitomycin C (failure to achieve tumor-free status following minimum of a 6 week induction course of mitomycin C)
- Contraindication to mitomycin C
- Untreated urinary tract or bladder infection
- ANC \<1000/µL and hemoglobin \<10 g/dL
