Home-Based Outpatient Model for BCG Delivery to Reduce Undue Burden on Patients Undergoing Treatment for Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Carcinoma
Sponsor: Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center
Summary
This phase I/II trial tests the feasibility of home based BCG delivery to reduce undue burden on patients undergoing treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder carcinoma. Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) is a weakened form of the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis that does not cause disease. For patients with bladder cancer it is used in a solution and placed directly into the bladder to stimulate the immune system to attack the cancer cells. Bladder cancer patients often face frequent clinic visits for BCG treatment, creating time, cost, and require help from caregivers or family members. BCG treatment may be able to be given at home which would improve access and quality of care without compromising treatment effectiveness for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder carcinoma.
