- Disease-free is defined as negative biopsy 10 to 12 weeks after the initiation
of valrubicin induction
- Valrubicin induction is defined as having received at least 3 of 6 weekly
instillations

from randomization)
5. Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade of 2 or

6. Have no evidence of urothelial carcinoma involving the upper urinary tract or
prostatic urethra (confirmed by extravesical work up, which may include radiological
imaging and/or biopsy) within 6 months prior to randomization
7. Subjects (male and female) of child-bearing potential (including female subjects who
are post-menopausal for less than 1 year) must be willing to practice abstinence or
effective contraception (as defined by the investigator) during the study and be

treatment

5. Received treatment with an investigational agent within 30 days or 5 half-lives prior
to randomization, whichever is longer
6. Received treatment with an intravesical chemotherapeutic agent (other than valrubicin
or a single administration of mitomycin C post-transurethral resection of bladder
tumor [TURBT]) within 3 months prior to randomization
7. Received treatment with valrubicin other than induction within 3 months prior to
randomization
8. Have contraindication to valrubicin
- Known hypersensitivity to anthracyclines or polyoxyl castor oil
- Small bladder capacity, i.e. unable to tolerate a 75 mL instillation
- Concurrent urinary tract infection
9. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <1000/µL and hemoglobin <10 g/dL
10. Have active cardiovascular disease such as myocardial infarction within the past 3
months, unstable angina pectoris, congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV) or
uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia
11. Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating
12. Subjects of childbearing potential who are unwilling to practice abstinence or
effective contraception (as defined by investigator) during the study and for 30 days
after last dose of study treatment
13. Have current or history of documented or suspected malignancy of any organ system
(diagnosed, treated or untreated) within the past 5 years (with the exception of
adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and asymptomatic
non-metastatic prostate cancer either previously successfully treated or currently
under active surveillance or receiving hormone therapy only)
14. Is unable to tolerate intravesical administration or intravesical surgical
manipulation (cystoscopy or biopsy) even with premedication
15. Have ongoing clinically significant active infections
16. Have any medical or psychiatric condition which, in the opinion of the investigator,
would preclude the participant from adhering to the protocol or completing the trial
per protocol
