Critical Unmet Needs for Patients with MIBC and Ongoing Clinical Trials in the Neoadjuvant Setting

Patients with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer carcinoma in situ now have a new treatment option following the FDA’s approval of nogapendekin alfa.

For patients who underwent radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, those with lower net worth incurred higher costs posttreatment.

Three additional clinical trials will study nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg for the treatment of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

An investigational new drug application for UGN-103 was accepted by the FDA. A phase 3 study to assess the safety and efficacy of the agent in low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is anticipated.

Findings from a 3-year follow-up analysis found that nadofaragene firadenovec demonstrated durable, lasting results for patients with high-risk BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Joseph M. Jacob, MD, discussed how bladder preservation is the top reason for refusal of radical cystectomy in the TAR-200 monotherapy cohort of the SunRISe-1 study.
