Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: EOquin® (Apaziquone)	Drug: EOquin® EOquin® for intravesical installation 4mg in 40ml Other Name: Apaziquone
Placebo Comparator: Placebo	Drug: EOquin® EOquin® for intravesical installation 4mg in 40ml Other Name: Apaziquone

Detailed Description:

This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, study. Following TUR-BT, eligible patients will be randomized to receive either intravesical EOquin® or matching placebo instilled within 6 hours of surgery. Patients will be seen for a postoperative follow-up exam 21±10 days after the TUR. At this time, the pathology report will be reviewed. If the histology of the patient's tumor is Ta, G1-G2 (low grade [WHO/ISUP classification]), then the patient will receive no further treatment and will be observed cystoscopically every three months through year two for tumor recurrence and progression. If the histology of the patient's tumor is other than Ta, G1-G2 (low grade [WHO/ISUP classification]), then the patient will receive further treatment in accordance with current treatment guidelines, following which the patient will be followed up cystoscopically every three months through year two for tumor recurrence and progression.
