ADSTILADRIN (=INSTILADRIN) in Patients With High-Grade, Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) Unresponsive Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC)
brief summary
Previous multi-dose Phase I and Phase II clinical studies have demonstrated that ADSTILADRIN is a safe and effective treatment for BCG-refractory and recurrent NMIBC. This Phase III study is designed to expand those observations using a high dose of ADSTILADRIN in patients that are "BCG Unresponsive" which refers to patients with high-grade NMIBC who are unlikely to benefit from and should not receive further intravesical BCG.
detailed description
Recombinant IFN alpha2b has pleiotropic effects that contribute to antitumor activity in Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC). ADSTILADRIN is a non-replicating adenovirus vector harboring the human IFN alpha2b gene. When combined with the excipient Syn3, intravesical administration of the rAd-IFN results in transduction of the virus into the epithelial cell lining in the bladder. The IFN alpha2b gene is incorporated into the cellular DNA resulting in the synthesis and expression of large amounts of IFN alpha2b protein. Clinical studies have confirmed that IFN alpha2b protein can be measured in the urine of patients treated with ADSTILADRIN within 24 hours after dosing.
