Single Versus Long-term Intravesical Instillation Chemotherapy for Recurrence After Nephroureterectomy for Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

October 7, 2019 updated by: Yiran Huang, RenJi Hospital

Prospective Randomized Phase II Trial: Single Instillation Versus Long-term Prophylactic Intravesical Instillation of Pirarubicin in the Prevention of Bladder Recurrence After Nephroureterectomy for Primary Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

Up to 30-40% of the patients may develop bladder recurrance after radical nephroureterectomy for primary upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Bladder tumor needs transurethral resection, which is associated with costs of treatment and potential poor prognosis. Although several randomized controlled trial have shown that prophylactic intravesical chemotherapy could prevent bladder tumor recurrence, the optimal schedule and duration of treatment are unkown. The investigators want to determine the efficiacy of single instillation versus long-term intravesical instillation of pirarubicin for bladder recurrence after radical nephrouretectomy for primary upper tract urothelial carcinoma.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Long-term Intravesical Instillation of pirarubicin(THP)
A single instillation of pirarubicin (THP) plus one year long-term intravesical instillation after nephroureterectomy was performed. The first instillation was initiated within 72-168 hours after surgery, followed by four times weekly and 11 times monthly (16 times in total in one year time) . Every time, THP 30 mg in 30 mL of normal saline was delivered into the bladder through a catheter and was retained for 30 minutes.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Single Intravesical Instillation of pirarubicin
A single intravesical instillation of THP after nephroureterectomy was performed. This instillation was initiated within 72-168 hours after surgery . THP 30 mg in 30 mL of normal saline was delivered into the bladder through a catheter and was retained for 30 minutes.
