Study Summary

This is a Phase 3, randomized, multicenter, multi-arm, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of apaziquone in participants with ≤4 non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), ≤3.5 centimeters (cm) in diameter, all of which must had been fully resected at TURBT. In addition to Screening, participants underwent an assessment of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder via cystoscopy for clinically apparent tumor Ta, G1-G2. Following TURBT on Day 1, eligible participants were randomized to one of three treatment arms in a 1:1:1 ratio. Arm 1 : One dose of Apaziquone. Arm 2 : Two Doses of Apaziquone. Arm 3 : Placebo. Primary endpoint was to evaluate the Time to Recurrence with either a one instillation of 4 mg apaziquone or two instillations of 4 milligram (mg) apaziquone relative to placebo instillation following TURBT in a participant with NMIBC who received TURBT.

Primary Outcome

Time from randomization to the date of histologically confirmed recurrence of bladder cancer. A recurrence was defined as any pathologically confirmed disease of ≥Ta tumor histology or carcinoma in situ (CIS) post-treatment.
