Inclusion Criteria:

• Both males and females ≥ eighteen years of age

• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be using an adequate method of contraception to avoid pregnancy prior to and for at least 3 months after mitomycin C instillation to minimize the risk of pregnancy. Prior to study enrollment, women of childbearing potential must be advised of the importance of avoiding pregnancy during trial participation and the potential risk factors for an unintentional pregnancy.
• Males with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use physician-approved contraceptive methods (e.g., abstinence, condoms, vasectomy) should avoid conceiving children prior to and for 3 months following mitomycin C instillation

• History of adverse reaction to mitomycin C
• Evidence of regional or metastatic disease.
• History of radical cystectomy

• Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• History of any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of protocol therapy or that might affect the interpretation of the results of the study or that puts the subject at high risk for treatment complications, in the opinion of the treating physician.
