2. Subjects have been clinically and histologically proven as relapsed high-risk non-muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder through clinical cystoscopy, urine cytology and pathological examination within 28 days before the enrollment; Subjects who met the high-risk definition in EAU Guidelines on Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (2012 Edition), including those who met the high-risk definition in current or any previous recurrence or primary diseases; Papillary carcinomas may or may not include Cis; All papillary carcinoma subjects with no visible tumor after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT); May include Cis subjects with visible tumors remaining after TURBT;

3. Past treatment history:

Chemo-relapsed subgroup: the subjects who should have had intravesical chemotherapy in the 3 years prior to enrollment, but could not undergo any BCG therapy; BCG-relapsed subgroup: the subjects who should have had intravesical BCG treatment in the 3 years prior to enrollment, prior intravesical chemotherapy is allowed;

4. Subjects with treatment failure included:

Subjects with recurrence after at least one intravesical course; BCG-relapsed subjects might include those intolerable to intravesical BCG therapy; Subjects with tumor grade progression after intravesical therapy;

7. Performance status score (ECOG scale) ≤ 1 (0-1), and did not deteriorate within 7 days;

8. The subject must have normal organ and bone marrow functions within 28 days prior to enrollment into the study (based on normal range measured by the clinical site):

ANC > 1.0×109 /L; Platelet count > 100×109 /L; Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dL; ALP < 2.5 times upper limit of normal range (should be less than 10 times upper limit of normal range if at the presence of bone metastasis); GFR (calculated using Cockcroft-Gault formula) ≥ 50 mL/min; INR < 1.5, except subjects who was undergoing Warfarin treatment at the time of screening.

9. Subjects who were receiving other medications with known or potential effects on the efficacy or pharmacokinetics of nitroxoline should be assessed and determined by the principal investigator.

10. Female subjects must be surgically sterilized or menopaused or must agree to take effective contraceptive measures during the treatment. Male subjects must be surgically sterilized or must agree to take effective contraceptive measures during treatment. Subjects must continue to take contraceptive measures for 3 months after the investigational therapy was completed.
