Clinical Trials Related to Mitosol (Mitomycin)

Intravesical Adjuvant Electromotive Mitomycin-C [Completed]
In laboratory and clinical studies, intravesical electromotive drug administration increased mitomycin bladder uptake, improving clinical efficacy in high-risk non-muscle invasive urothelial bladder cancer. The investigators' aim was to compare transurethral resection of bladder tumor and adjuvant intravesical electromotive mitomycin with transurethral resection and adjuvant intravesical passive diffusion mitomycin and transurethral resection alone in patients with primary stage pTa-pT1 and grade G1-G2 urothelial bladder cancer Patients will be randomly assigned to: transurethral resection alone, transurethral resection and adjuvant intravesical 40 mg passive diffusion mitomycin dissolved in 50 ml sterile water infused over 60 minutes once a week for 6 weeks, or transurethral resection and adjuvant intravesical 40 mg electromotive mitomycin dissolved in 100 ml sterile water with 23 mA pulsed electric current for 30 minutes once a week for 6 weeks. Patients in the intravesical adjuvant electromotive and passive diffusion mitomycin groups who are disease-free 3 months after induction treatment, will be scheduled to receive monthly intravesical instillation for 10 months, with the same dose and methods of infusion as initial assigned treatment. All patients will be assessed for safety. The investigators' primary endpoints are recurrence rate and disease-free interval. Analyses will be done by intention to treat.

Topical Interferon Alfa 2b and Mitomycin C in Conjunctival-Corneal Intraepithelial Neoplasia [Active, not recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of interferon alfa 2b and topical mitomycin C in patients with diagnosis of conjunctival-corneal intraepithelial neoplasia.

Veliparib With or Without Mitomycin C in Treating Patients With Metastatic, Unresectable, or Recurrent Solid Tumors [Active, not recruiting]
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given with or without mitomycin C in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body, cannot be removed by surgery or have come back. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitomycin C, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving veliparib together with mitomycin C may kill more tumor cells.

Study of Mitomycin C and Nasal Splint to Treat Nasal Synechiae [Completed]
This study evaluates whether Mitomycin C is an effective alternative to septal splints in the treatment of nasal synechiae.
