Myths and Mysteries Surrounding Adjuvant Therapy for NMIBC Ashish M. Kamat, MD, MBBS, FACS Professor of Urologic Oncology Wayne B. Duddlesten Professor of Cancer Research President, International Bladder Cancer Group NMIBC is a heterogeneous
NMIBC is a heterogeneous group of tumors
Risk categories are not uniform

Common Definition
Adopted from IBCG, Brausi M et al. 2011
- Low Risk
§ Solitary, primary, TaLG < 3 cm
- High Risk
§ Any T1 or any high grade (Ta, T1), including CIS § Progression main concern
- Intermediate Risk
§ Everything else (i.e. recurrent/multiple TaLG) § Recurrence main concern
Adjuvant Therapy
Intermediate Risk Tumors
Kamat et al, J Urol, 2014
Intermediate Risk Tumors (Low Grade)
High Risk Tumors
~ 1.2 Million Doses of BCG used globally for Bladder Cancer
BCG is the ORIGINAL
Myth #1
BCG does not reduce progression rates (only reduces recurrences)

Analysis of Progression in 20 Controlled Trials
Sylvester, 2002
BCG reduces progression only when maintenance is used
Meta analysis of 24 RCT of BCG with 4,863 pts
Sylvester RJ: J Urol. 2002, 168:1964-70
Myth #2
Optimal maintenance schedule unknown (induction alone is enough)
BCG Maintenance: Not Created Equal
Only SWOG protocol shows clear benefit
Kamat & Porten, Eur Urol, 2014

Key Fact
Duration appears to be more crucial than dose
EORTC30962 – FD vs LD, 1 yr vs 3 yr
Oddens et al, Eur Urol, 2013
Four groups (5 year Disease Free Rates) 3 year @ full dose: 64.2% 3 year @ 1/3rd dose: 62.6% 1 year @ full dose: 58.8% 1 year @ 1/3rd dose: 54.5% FD @ 3 yrs was superior to LD @ 1 yr was (p = 0.01)
Myth #3
BCG is only indicated for high grade disease
EORTC 30911 3 Week Maintenance BCG vs Epirubicin
Rec reduced with BCG Maintenance (p<0.0001) Mets reduced with BCG Maintenance (p=0.046) Overall survival (& DSS) Improved with BCG Maint. (P=0.023)
837 randomized pts without CIS followed for 9.2 yrs. 497 intermediate risk (LOW GRADE)
- as good/better benefit vs high risk
Sylvester RJ: Eur Urol. 12: 2009
Myth #4
Most patient cannot tolerate full course
- f BCG
BCG is well tolerated
EORTC 30962
Comparison of full dose vs 1/3rd dose BCG for 1 year vs 3
years
1355 patients; median follow-up of 7.1 yrs, < 10% patients discontinued due to toxicity
International IPD Survey
971 patients only 5.2% discontinued BCG maintenance due to
toxicity.
Oddens J et al, Eur Urol, 2012; Witjes et al, BJUI, 2012
Minimize fluid intake before
instillation
Start with empty bladder Inspect voided urine for visible
hematuria
(routine urinalysis/dipstick not
necessary)
Catheterize atraumatically Minimize lubricant (to avoid
BCG clumping)
Avoid lidocaine (acidity
degrades BCG)
No rotisserie-style turning Statins/aspirin therapy okay Antispasmodicsfor local
symptoms
Antipyretics for influenza-like
symptoms
Give 1 dose of quinolone 6
hours after BCG
Suspected BCGosis/BCG sepsis
needs prompt workup and aggressive therapy
Myth #5
BCG is not effective in older patients
BCG fails older patients?
Kanematsu et al – higher recurrence and reduced
PPD in patients >80 yr with BCG [HinyokikaKiyo 1998]
Joudi et al – non-randomized study, 22% lower DSS
in patients >80 yr with BCG + interferon [J Urol 1996]
Other smaller reports : claimed lower efficacy of
intravesical immunotherapy in elderly patients
No control group for comparison.
Kamat & Lamm, Eur Urol, 2014
EORTC 30911 – Sub Analysis
Oddens et al, Eur Urol, 2014
Patients >70 yr had a shorter time to progression (p=0.028), OS (p<0.001), and NMIBC-specific survival (p=0.049) but similar time to recurrence compared with younger patients.
EORTC 30911 – Sub Analysis
BCG was still more effective than epirubicinfor all four end points considered; including in patients >70 yr
