Exclusion Criteria:

Urinary incontinence of that severity that according to the opinion of the Urologist/Investigator would compromise the ability of the patient to retain the study drug intravesical instillation for one hour
Severe irritative voiding symptoms, such as urgency, frequency and nocturia that could compromise protocol objectives in the opinion of the Urologist/Investigator
