documenting a CR. Kaplan Meier survival analysis was used to compare recurrence free survival (RFS).RESULTS: CR rate was 45.0%, 86.4% and 69.6% in groups A, B and C, respectively. For patients with smaller tumors (size 1cm 2 ), the CR rate was 50.0%, 87.5% and 77.8%, respectively. For larger tumors (>1cm 2 ), the CR was 40%, 83.3% and 40.0%, respectively. For patients with 3 tumors, the CR rate was 50.0%, 81.3% and 80.0%, while for patients with >3 tumors, the CR rate was 0%, 100% and 50%, respectively. Of the 44 patients with a CR, 36 had follow up data available. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed no difference in RFS between groups (log rank test: p¼0.46).CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary results provide an initial indication of the ablative effect of VesiGel and its potential use as an alternative to TURBT. Compared with aqueous MMC 0.1%, VesiGel 0.12% was superior in the treatment of larger and multifocal tumors. Durability data has yet to mature but is promising given the higher predicted 1-year recurrence scores for patients in the VesiGel 0.12% group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
